Fremont, CA: Customers' growing desire to monitor their health is driving a notable growth in wearable health gadgets for the mHealth industry. The widespread use of FitBits and smartwatches results from the social integration of wearable fitness technology, which indicates that wearable technology will continue to grow. Here are the top advancements in the field:
IoT and AI Integration
Wearable AI and IoT technologies are among the most widely used in the healthcare industry. IoT wearable health devices can assist in locating the closest doctors to the patient in an emergency. As a result, everyone saves time and stress by the patient receiving treatment on time.
One example of an IoT deployment in the healthcare industry is the usage of glucose monitors as wearables. Because these wearables are connected to inhalers, it is simpler for the physician to diagnose and treat the patient correctly.
Likewise, artificial intelligence (AI) helps devices learn, react, sense, and understand to perform medical and administrative tasks.
Predictive Analysis
Delivering customized treatment has shown predictive analysis to be quite helpful. Pharmaceutical ecosystems, applications, and other mobile health monitoring devices use the technology.
When applied and used appropriately, predictive analysis can assist in stopping patients' health from worsening, save patients from hurting themselves, lower the number of readmissions after 30 days, and lower the number of patients who skip appointments.
Biosensors
One of the newest developments in wearable technology for the health sector is biosensors. They are not interchangeable with fitness bands or smartwatches. It is intended for the biosensors to function as a self-sticking patch, enabling patients to carry on with their everyday activities.
The patient's biosensors also record and track the temperature, heart rate, level of movement, and breathing rate.
Body-Worn Smart Clothing
Another potential development in mHealth wearable technology is body-worn smart clothing. Cloud computing, big data, machine learning, and mobile apps are all necessary for this kind of innovation. The current health monitoring systems cannot effectively monitor chronic diseases because they only record a small portion of physiological signals as digital data. The healthcare sector requires wearable technology with more memory, improved machine learning capabilities, artificial intelligence integration, and long-term health monitoring that is more accurate and efficient.
