Iot and wearables meetup July 2019 by Ryan Kraudel, Valencell
Speaker: Ryan Kraudel, Valencell.
There is a clear convergence occurring between the consumer wearables and health/medical device markets. Just look at the recent announcements and products from Apple, Fitbit, Huawei, Samsung and other leaders in the consumer wearables sector. They are all moving toward becoming personal health devices. In addition, traditional health/medical device companies are now building devices intended to be worn outside a medical facility but continuing to feed medical-grade data back into a patient treatment workflow.
As an example, this trend can be seen in what is going on in your ear! According to Gartner Research, ear-worn devices (headphones, earbuds, hearing aids, etc.) are expected to be the largest category of wearable devices by 2022, even more than smartwatches. Ear-worn devices are a fascinating microcosm of the broader convergence of consumer electronics and medical devices. Consumer “hearables” device makers like Bose, Sennheiser, and Huawei are continuing to add hearing augmentation capabilities to their devices, in addition to great audio experiences. In parallel, hearing aid companies like Starkey (one of the big 6 hearing aid companies) have announced adding capabilities to their latest hearing aids like activity tracking, fall detection, and heart rate monitoring, which has traditionally been the domain of consumer wearables.
This convergence is being driven by numerous market trends that are accelerating the adoption of hearables:
1. Voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri are perfect extensions of hearables and hearing aids, which opens up significant new capabilities for hearables.
2. Much of the social stigma with wearing earbuds or headphones for long periods of time is now gone, thanks to Apple Airpods and many other true wireless earbuds.
3. Scientific research has shown the comorbidities associated with hearing loss are significant – 3X higher risk of cardiovascular disease, 3X higher risk of diabetes, 32% higher risk of hospitalization, and more.
4. The ear is one of the best places on the body for biometric measurements, which can help identify and mediate many of the comorbidities associated with hearing loss.
These trends have opened up new markets and user bases for both categories of companies, and this is just the beginning. This session will take the audience on an intriguing journey through the convergence of consumer wearables and medical devices with specific examples in hearables and hearing health.

Hypertension management will change more in the next 5 years than in the last...
Why will managing hypertension change more in the next 5 years than it has in the last 100?
There are several macro trends that are driving this change:
- Hypertension is a massive global health problem (over 1B people have high BP) and it is THE leading risk factor for the global burden of disease (its a comorbidity in every major chronic disease) - more of a risk factor than tobacco, obesity, poor diet, high blood glucose, etc. - according to the WHO.
- Sensor tech - there has been no meaningful innovation in BP sensors in over 100 years. The BP cuffs in use today are fundamentally the same as the first BP cuff that came to market in the early 1900's. That’s changing now with cuffless BP sensors that are being approved by regulatory bodies.
- Care delivery – healthcare "has left the building", moving out of the hospital, into the home and everyday life. This can be seen in the huge growth in remote patient monitoring, digital therapeutics, and digital health more broadly.
- Payer models – insurance coverage is moving from fee-for-service to value-based care that’s focused on prevention and monitoring. This is particularly important in hypertension management because high BP has no outward symptoms, making the frequency and ease of BP monitoring extremely important.
Blood pressure market research study - November 2020
In November 2020, Valencell conducted a research study on people with hypertension to understand the personal impact of managing the disease every day and the potential for digital health solutions to improve hypertension management.

The use of wearable devices in health and medical use cases is growing rapidly along with the number and capabilities of wearable devices. The sensor technology embedded in wearables today rivals the capabilities of regulatory-approved medical devices, and in many cases enables new and different use cases than we’ve seen possible before. This session will highlight the best practices we’ve seen emerging recently from real-world projects proving the efficacy of wearable devices in health and medical use cases in the areas of cardiovascular conditions, neurological disease, pain management, and other areas of interest. We’ll also explore the potential pitfalls to avoid and key things to consider when using wearables in proving out your medical use case.
Using biometric wearables in neuroscience & human behavior
Studies have shown human happiness substantially reduces morbidity and mortality. The neuroscience behind what brings people joy has been shown to reduce hospital and clinic visits, reduce pharmaceutical costs, and improve the quality of life. The benefits are clear, but how can we reliably know when and why people are happy?
We will explore this topic and more with Dr. Paul Zak, world-renowned expert on human behavior, neuroeconomics, and neuromanagement and co-founder of Immersion Neuroscience. After 5 years of deep science on oxytocin, Paul and his team were asked by DARPA and the CIA to find a robust way to predict actions and market outcomes using neurologic measures without the expensive medical equipment or lab environment. 12 years later, they have peer-reviewed and published science on what is known as immersion and the ability to predict outcomes with an accuracy level that exceeds EEG and fMRI.
Advanced heart rate training for at-home training
With most gyms and workout facilities closed or limited, we’ve all had to evolve to get our training in. But the question remains - are my at-home workouts as effective as they were before quarantine? The only way to truly understand the effectiveness of our workouts is to have a glimpse into what’s actually happening inside our bodies – and more specifically, our hearts. The team at MIO Labs have created a training system that serves as an accountability partner and a guide towards the right exercise intensity based on personal training goals. MIO’s Marcelo Aller will share insights on how the system was created and why it’s different from other systems on the market today.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
