IoT for health and fitness has entered a new growth stage with telehealth services offering a myriad of opportunities for the communications industry. Join the IoT Forum this month as we introduce startups and innovations in mobile health making services more accessible, improving care and lowering cost for the provider.
Mobile Health and Fitness burst out of the gates years ago with lots of promise…but was very slow to deliver. Initial products were impeded by rigid FDA constraints, and consumer-grade "measurable me" apps for fitness were handicapped by poor quality sensors and cumbersome wearables. Flashy products at CES or MWC “Health & Fitness Zones” were interesting, but flawed. But, as is often the case, the surprise of how little changes quickly, transforms to surprise at how much has changed over the last 10 years.
Today, IoT in health and fitness has entered a more mature phase, merging with telemedicine, and with real practical case studies in institutional health, with FDA-approved solutions saving healthcare providers tons of money and improving lifestyles. Meanwhile, on the consumer side, wearable sensors on the top watches have improved and are now sensing blood-02 levels, and are comparable to conventional electrocardiogram readings. For fitness buffs, the GPS and heart-tracking functions are giving unprecedented control over our workouts and bodies - NO pro sports teams trains without tracking their athletes’ body data minute-by-minute.
And now, because of COVID-19 social distancing, there has been an invigorated thrust towards remote healthcare as a way of serving healthcare customers without the risk of contagion. The risks of COVID have given the normally risk-averse industry a “shot in the arm” towards remote and connected services.
Today’s telehealth sector includes innovations as disparate as:
- Front-end AI-based software for healthcare providers for self-care and triage
- Connected monitoring & measurement solutions
- Healthcare worker productivity apps
- Non-medicinal Mental health apps and services
- COVID-19 contact tracing apps, which are related to existing Flu Tracking apps
- Consumer health and fitness wearables such as watches, Fitbits, etc.
- Access: Gender, racial, and economic equity in Mobile Health
