Nowadays, wearable devices such as smart bracelets, smart watches, and smart glasses have been transformed from concepts to products into people's daily lives. As a new wave of IT after the mobile phone, wearable devices show strong market potential. Insiders pointed out that the core functions of wearable technology in the future will promote the transformation of medical models, and solving the current lack of industry and product standards for wearable devices is a key point in releasing this blue ocean market.
Market blueprints show that auxiliary medical care has become a key area
According to data from relevant market research organizations, the global shipment of wearable devices in 2013 was 9.7 million units, compared with 22 million units in 2014, and is expected to reach 135 million units in 2018.
Yang Jialu, deputy general manager of technical support and R&D of TÃœV Rheinland Greater China Electronic and Electrical Products Service Department, believes that for the smart wearable industry, 2007-2015 is an exploration stage, and the software platform and database are not mature enough; 2016-2018 The year will be the market start-up period. With the gradual growth of big data and ecosystem, smart wearable products will be more convenient to use; and 2019-2021 is expected to become a period of rapid development, after which the market may stabilize.
Yang Chunhui, director of China Saibao Lab Software Evaluation Center, proposed that the emergence of smart wearables provides an opportunity for the upgrading of traditional industries. In addition to the "Internet +", traditional enterprises are also welcoming "smart +". In the era when things are connected, wearable products will become the material basis and technical basis.
In addition to providing hardware devices, the value of wearable devices can be integrated with other smart devices. Based on sensors, big data and the entire industry chain, it can provide rich service functions such as health detection. In the eyes of the industry, the current use of wearable devices is more about fashion and fun, but in fact the most original proposition of wearable products is health. “Wearable technology will be an important technical approach to medical change.†Yu Mengsun, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said, “There are many medical problems facing the world, especially chronic diseases, and the application of health medicine models to replace disease medical models. Wearables are an indispensable member of the situation when treatments turn to today's steady-state levels of attention."
Yu Mengsun suggested that the reason why wearable devices have become medical "helpers", sleep detection will be a good entry point. "If a person's body has problems, for example, high blood pressure patients, it must be reflected in sleep. However, the problem of sleep is precisely what modern medicine can't solve. Nowadays wearable devices have to open this vast market, provided that relevant The indicators are accurate and can solve practical problems."
Concept hot products are uneven
Although the concept of smart devices is very hot, the products on the market such as smart bracelets, smart watches, smart glasses and so on are designed to be "cool", but there are not many good products. At present, there is no industry standard in China, and the products are uneven. There is no universal standard for security and privacy, so users can use it with confidence.
Yang Jiayu pointed out that charging speed, industrial design, data acquisition and transmission, and sensor accuracy are all difficult problems to solve. “Because of the lack of mandatory standards and market laws and regulations, wearable devices cannot be regulated, resulting in many products that are tens or even more than a dozen yuan. They claim to be smart wearable devices.â€
The industry believes that as a "personal advisor" for human health, smart wearable devices can not affect human health first, the battery must be safe, and does not affect the use of other electronic devices. For example, the plastic materials used in some low-cost bracelets are relatively cheap, and whether the harmful substances are controlled remains to be further confirmed. In addition, there is no specific standard for whether the production process of the bracelet causes pollution to the environment, whether or not to use recyclable materials, or whether electromagnetic interference is caused to medical equipment. In terms of usability, for example, the accuracy of sensors, interconnection and security, and information security are the direction of the industry.
Cai Yuhang, director of the Innovation Center of Huawei Terminal Co., Ltd. believes that although health is the most essential pursuit of wearable products, the entire industry does not yet have basic health detection functions, and even the most basic measurement of exercise heart rate is basically difficult. Do it.
Unlike medical devices that are used under fairly stable conditions, wearable devices are a new form, and many aspects have not yet formed standards, leading to some risks in terms of safety. Jin Fuwei, deputy secretary-general of China's Wearable Computing Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance, said that if a feature is added to a wearable device, the device may become hot. “For example, what happens when iWatch is sun-dried? Therefore, there is no way to provide a safety design guide for manufacturers, and this may pose some safety risks for consumers.â€
Yang Lan, secretary-general of China's wearable computing industry technology innovation strategy alliance, proposed that the biggest risk of wearable devices in the medical field is the standard. At present, the form of wearable devices is still difficult to adapt to the current medical system standards, and there are certain problems in both methodologies and related test methods. “For example, many people say that wearable devices can measure blood pressure, blood oxygen, heart rate and even blood sugar. In fact, most of these tests do not meet the requirements of the medical system.â€
