This document discusses the growing market for connected wearable devices for health monitoring and how wireless technologies can transmit data from sensors on or in the body to clinicians. By 2016, over 100 million wearable devices are expected to be sold annually. Bluetooth is currently the most widely used protocol but Zigbee and the new 802.15.6 standard may provide longer battery life. Smartphones are also playing an increasing role through medical apps, though regulatory questions remain around which apps should be classified as medical devices. The market is now entering a period of significant growth and standardization.

The Future of Health in a Mobile world
The market for connected wearable devices will reach more than 100 million units annually by 2016 Business Wire 9/2011 Newly emerging connected devices span a broad range from heart rate monitors, to wearable blood glucose meters, to vision, hearing and movement assist devices - all enabling greater detail to track, monitor and care often through connections provided by mobile phones The market is now reaching a key growth period with support and commitment to standardized specifications. The professional healthcare market is also starting to look at the potential for embedded wireless communication in wearable devices for in- hospital and remote patient care
Two questions relate to wireless medical devices How to get the information from the sensor that is in or on the body ? How to get the information to a remote clinician or MIS ?
A number of wireless protocols are jostling for position in this emerging market Current FDA approved wireless protocols that relate to the collection of information from the body sensors include: 802.15.1 (Bluetooth速) 802.153a (ultrawide band or UWB) 802.15.4 (Zigbee速) RF identification (RFID)
The major wireless contenders Bluetooth is one if the best known local area wireless network protocols and more than 40 million Bluetooth-enabled health and medical devices already in the market. The newly ratified Bluetooth 4 protocol has been optimised for ultra low power meaning worn or implanted wireless devices can run for very long periods of time Most mobile phones already have Bluetooth built in Ie Bluetooth is probably perfect for devices that we wear, are embedded or that we carry around with us Zigbee is slugging it out with Bluetooth Low power like Bluetooth but even longer battery life (BT4 to be compared) Very robust and has demonstrated superb tolerance to extreme interference Mesh network meaning multiple paths to connect in the event of a failure Probably ZigBee will be used devices - the ones that tend to stay within a building, either a home or hospital 802.15.6 Body Area Network is the dark horse contender Being developed by IEEE & optimized for low power devices Designed for operation on, in or around the human body to serve medical & other applications On par with Bluetooth bandwidth and range, but at much lower power consumption and less interference Backers of 802.15.6 say products based on it could ship in 2012.
A number of wireless protocols are jostling for position in this emerging market Current FDA approved wireless protocols that relate to Remote transmission of data, include: 47 CFR Part 15 (Federal Communications Commission (FCC Part 15) devices Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS) cellular (mobile) telephones Wireless modems for laptop computers Wireless local area networks (Wifi - WLAN 802.11.a/b/g) Wireless handheld computers and personnel digital assistants (PDAs) eg iPhone
What about iPhones, iPads, Apps (& Androids)? Powerful manufacturers Standard, robust, FDA approved* platform Reliable upgrade path Intuitive to use Wide spread user base Sexy as Hell
What about iPhones, iPads, Apps (& Androids)? To date these apps range from home use advisers, guides and toys, which may or may not have real health care implications, to serious medical devices which have clear health care functions, despite in at least some cases, pretending they do not really, perhaps in an attempt to avoid the FDA. The key questions are what kinds of apps are medical devices, and among those, which will the FDA focus on for regulatory action?
"Smartphones are incredibly powerful devices capable of saving lives, saving money, and improving healthcare in a dramatic fashion, and we carry these massively powerful computers in our pockets. Dr. Peter Bentley, the inventor of iStethoscope app, which has been downloaded by more than three million people

  7. 1. Apple and Google the two major manufacturers and promoters are both bigger and more powerful than most medical device manufacturers in the worldApple has sales of $76BnGoogle sales of $29BnCompared to the two biggest healthcare companiesJ&J $16BnGE Healthcare $12Bn2. FDA approved currently only approved as a results viewer. Needs further compliance if it runs a diagnostic algorithm3. How many are out there ? according to apple some 200m iPhones and 15m iPads. Add androids and theres simply hundreds of millions of these advanced devices out there

  9. The iphone has more power than most people appreciate
