The proliferation of wearable technologies into a field based on
necessity, i.e. the healthcare industry, has been a long awaited
move. Current variants of commercially available – and financially
viable for the majority – wearable tech includes fitness tracking
wristwatches and the likes. The healthcare industry has bigger plans
for wearables and is already on the way to help people from all walks
of life gain functional and increasingly useful tech that can help
them live better. The modern wearable medical technologies are aimed
at helping the elderly, the athletes, the disabled, and the
chronically sick to perform daily tasks while not getting in their
way.
Industry experts from Transparency Market Research have evaluated the
global wearable medical technologies market to quantify its imminent
future progress rate. To explain the analysis, the analysts have
answered three question crucial to grasping the market dynamics.
What are Some of the more Commercialized Medical Wearables?
The most common use of medical wearable comes in various forms of
wrist bands or watches. We have, for instance the wristbands
integrated with Near Field Communication that allow a nearby scanning
device to tag the band and receive an individual’s medical data.
Other wrist band types may allow a patient to check their pulse,
their sleep patterns, a fall or an accident, and even sleepwalking.
The bands can alert the user to take their medicine on time, or alert
medical personnel, hospitals, and close ones of any incident that may
have occurred.
In fact, most of the wearable medical devices are a result of the
convergence of conventional medical devices with portable consumer
electronics. This will give us a much clearer perspective on how the
global wearable medical technologies market is expected to progress
in the near future.

What Other Aspects of Modern Electronics are Incorporated in
Medical Wearables?
Essentially, all technologies in consumer electronics can be utilized
to improve the devices in the global wearable medical technologies
market. For instance, the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT)
can be extremely helpful in creating a secure connected environment
for a patient within a small space. The connected devices can help
the patient perform daily functions without human assistance, order
for prescription drugs and pay for them online, keep a record of
their health, and most importantly, allow medical personnel to
remotely monitor them.
Are There Any Immediate Concerns to the Global Wearable Medical
Technologies Market?
There are quite a few concerns, the most pressing of which is user
safety and measurement accuracy. Device safety standards and testing
may be, however rarely, lacking in a definitive set of guidelines to
dictate the terms of use. Most policies, such as the U.K., Medicines
and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency’s policy, is to establish
the responsibility of safety directly on the manufacturer. The agency
has clearly stated in its guidelines that the manufacturers need to
use a proper set of controls on the device to ensure the most safe
user experience.
As for accuracy, it’s a two way street. Common lifestyle and
fitness devices need a certain set of data inputs that need to be
accurately fed to receive the right results. One of the biggest
problems most users face is that these devices can be inaccurate at
times. And the repercussions of a wrong reading can be increasingly
severe when performed by medical wearables that are used by, say,
cancer patients or the chronically ill.
These issues must be addressed properly in order to ensure a smooth
growth trajectory for the global wearable medical technologies
market.
