Wearable Devices: (Really) Ready to Wear
Wearable devices are poised for continued growth and will change healthcare and business models. Currently, wearables are used mostly for fitness tracking but their use in healthcare is expanding. In the future, wearables may monitor health through ingestible sensors and smart devices. Companies will create new services using health data from wearables to predict disease and influence behavior. The future of wearables involves integrating data across the entire body through connected devices to improve health and personalize experiences. Wearables show potential to help people change behaviors like increasing activity and weight loss when combined with self-monitoring and specific plans. The global market for internet-connected healthcare devices including wearables may reach $117 billion by 2020.

They'll be about creating innovative services — often served by entirely new business models — that reach people in mobile moments of need. • Delivering insights derived from healthcare data. Founded by a physician, Vivametrica analyzes data from a variety of wearable devices — including consumer fitness trackers — and applies algorithms to help predict future health states like diabetes and heart disease. Users can share these insights with approved medical professionals for ongoing monitoring. In the future, such systems will extend from the consumer through the insurer and into the healthcare organization, providing analytics and insights to help people make better health-related decisions.

- 31. Interventions that haveworked Does monitoring, per se, increase goal-directed behaviour? • In general, YES. – E.g., Study in which control participants were given pedometer vs. experimental participants were given fitbit and website tracking. – Self-monitoring group increased steps and weight loss relative to their baseline, whereas control participants did not.

- 32. Interventions that haveworked Does forming a specific plan help to increase goal-directed behaviour? • In general, YES. – Connect a future critical situation (e.g., getting home from work) with a goal-directed behaviour (e.g., run for 15 minutes). – E.g., Study in which control participants were asked to attend health and diet meetings vs. experimental participants who made specific implementation intentions (e.g., where, when, how I’ll exercise this upcoming week). – Implementation intentions group lost more weight than control participants over a 2-month period.

Editor's Notes
- #19 One aspect allows a person to earn points for every gym visit by swiping a card reader on the way in. Data from fitness trackers can be monitored automatically. And completing big events like running a marathon or a triathlon will also accrue points. Getting regular checkups for things like BMI, cholesterol, glucose, blood pressure and mammograms can also earn points. So can getting a flu shot. Even self-declaring that you will sleep seven hours per night for two weeks can earn points, Barclays analyst John Aiken said in a recent research note.
