The document discusses the quantified self movement and wearable technology trends in health. It describes how quantified self uses technology to collect personal data on inputs, states, and performance to achieve self-improvement goals. Wearables are a new technology category resulting from trends in mobile devices, augmented reality, the Internet of Things, and big data. The document outlines key drivers of wearable adoption including accelerating technology, government policies, consumerization of healthcare, increasing chronic conditions, and an aging population. It explores applications of wearables and quantified self across areas like biosensors, augmented perception, environmental sensing, personal data aggregation, and health data systems.
I manage my health with digital tools and I’m not alone. An estimated and growing 69% of consumers and patients are also engaged in monitoring their own healthcare . The interest in personal wellness combined with the proliferation of healthcare ‘wearables’ available to consumer puts us on the cusp of an extraordinary shift in healthcare: Technology enabled patients are empowered to change their lifestyle to prevent or stop chronic disease, and become healthier than ever before. The implications of this on every aspect of the healthcare industry –from delivery and population health to access and cost will be astounding.
But wearable technology is still in its infancy, quite complex and limited in what it can do. The next generation will be intelligent and voice-enabled and go beyond tracking to interacting with and assisting consumers with their healthcare choices, and changing behaviors for the better. Imagine a wearable that could warn you of risks developing, nudge you towards better choices for that day based on your health profile, and keep you engaged in a treatment regime.

Digital Health Disruption - Consumerization Transforms HealthcaremyNEXT
Digital Health is transforming healthcare as we know it. Sensors, mobile devices, online marketplaces, big data analytics, and internet tools & services empower consumers/patients to take their health into their own hands. Disruptive change has consumerized many products and industries in the past: photocopiers, PC, and refrigerators. The same is happening in healthcare now.
The key to success in the age of the digital patient is to think about the patient as being at the center of the health care and communication network and to design solutions to make it easier for them to participate in their own health care.

Digital device and social media’s role in Health awareness
Aiman Tohid, Global Health Worker
The explosion in the number of applications (apps) designed for the medical and wellness sectors has been noted by many. Recently we have seen increased presence of truly medical apps, in addition to consumer health and wellbeing apps, designed for clinical professionals and patients with medical conditions.
Consumer based mHealth apps typically allow people to do old things in new ways, such as recording health measures digitally rather than on paper. We see this also with medical apps, where increases in the quality and efficiency of existing health care models provide clinical staff with digital tools that replace paper based documentation. In rare and exciting cases we are also seeing mHealth applications that are doing things in entirely new ways to drive real innovation in health care delivery through mobile devices.
The aim of the tutorial is to highlight real world, high impact mobile research that is relevant to the key discipline of Mobile HCI. Thus, the tutorial will be application rather than academically focused. The tutorial will highlight the wide range of mHealth applications available that go far beyond trackers and behavior change tools and encourage researchers to look beyond consumer applications in their research. Four key areas of mHealth applications will be covered including Apps for the HealthyWell, mHealth in Hospitals, Practice and Clinical Apps and Patient Apps and will cover applications for health assessment, treatment and triage, behavior change, chronic illness, mental health, adolescent health, rehabilitation and age care with a focus on the need for rigorous evaluation and efficacy analysis.

The future of healthcare: when mobile disappearsMatteo Penzo
In today’s digital world, mobile devices are the powerful bridges between a connected ecosystem of healthcare professionals, caregivers and patients. New developments in big data, wearable sensors and the application of social layers are shifting an industry that used to focus on curing diseases to one that emphasizes health and wellness. But the mass adoption of connected healthcare will only happen when solutions are designed to be intuitive and technologies are forgotten. The future of healthcare will happen when mobile disappears into the background, placing the patient in the center and in control of their lives.
The smartphone hype has brought some exciting changes to the traditional mobile health industry. This research paper contains a survey amongst companies developing mobile health applications.
The survey reveals that the impact the new smartphone app market has on mHealth is significant.
In total we had 231 participating companies ranging from start-up mHealth specialists to traditional healthcare market players.

Health device makers, to date, have primarily targeted consumers who are either fitness focused or chronically ill. But between these two extremes sits a large, fragmented and often overlooked population who seek better information to effectively manage their health. Our research suggests that successful solution providers will approach this market opportunity as an ecosystem of partners – with an integrated solution that extends beyond the device itself. By plugging the information gap for these consumers, solution providers can help fuel healthcare innovation.

Now Wearable Technology Shifted Focus To Chronic Medical IllnessDivyaConsagous
Every year around $2.9 Tn is spent on healthcare and out of which 75% is spent on the treatment of chronic diseases. Although digital machines have remarkably helped the number of patients suffering from chronic diseases but wearable technology has dramatically shifted the ground by it's amazing features and trackable devices. Let’s take a look at our new post which briefs you about how wearable technology shifted focus to chronic medical illness.
Twenty million wearable devices were sold last year and over 10% of the US population now has a wearable. And, we expect wearables to top many wish-lists this holiday season. Wearable adoption is well past the early adopter phase and is going mainstream with health and fitness devices leading the way. People want to track and quantify their exercise patterns, and feel that these devices help motivate them to exercise more. And, this is just the beginning.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
