Healthware - Wearable Computers in Healthcare
Wireless Healthcare, Jan 2004, Pages: 18
- The role of wearable computers in patient monitoring.
- The role of health providers in the wearable computing market.
- Potential drivers for the wearable computer market.
- Adaptation of current products for use in medical applications.
- Bundling of wearable computer applications and services.
- Opportunities in wearable computing for IT and telecoms vendors.
Like Internet enabled home appliances, wearable computing captured the imagination of both the media and the public. Even so, for some time this enthusiasm failed to translate into commercially successful products. Recently, however, a number of companies have started marketing garments, or ‘healthware’, which monitor the breathing, temperature and heart rates of athletes and keep fit enthusiasts. As well, healthcare providers have identified a role for wearable computers in remote patient monitoring. While we are a long way from a Utopia where clothing continually monitors our health a growing number of wearable computers are being used in telemedicine applications and clinical trials.
Healthware services could provide mobile carriers with a number of benefits – both tangible and intangible. Supplying services wholesale to the public sector would represent a departure from the operators’ present model based around applications for consumer and corporate markets. However, healthware services would provide a steady revenue stream, based around older subscribers, at a time when shifting demographics leaves fewer subscribers for youth orientated services.
