Health can be worn on the "squat": hospitals and doctors do not buy at all

OFwee Medical Technology News In theory, healthy wearable devices will revolutionize disease surveillance in high-risk populations such as diabetics. At the same time, for low-income people who rarely use medical insurance, real-time monitoring of physical health allows them to go to the hospital without having to wait for major illnesses. However, this is only theoretical.

In addition, the US Affordable Care Act incorporates more people into the existing health care system. Wearables also hopes to play an important role in health surveillance in this process, capturing clues before the symptoms appear, and notifying users of timely medical attention.

These are some idealized concepts. At least for now, they are only theoretically feasible. There is no real value and usefulness for real-life medical health problems. At the same time, the wearable devices are mostly "normal people who are more stupid."

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no direct correlation between health management and wearable devices, and the relationship with health care reform is far-fetched. Google's Google Fit, Apple's Health Kit, and Samsung's SAMI all position themselves as cloud data storage and service platforms for health data, and the source of these data is a variety of wearable devices. These platforms are also seen as facilitating the sharing of data between different devices, apps, and analytics organizations and people.

At Apple and Samsung's cloud service platform conference, they all invited medical experts to endorse them, and vowed to generate these platforms to apply the user's health data to existing hospitals and even drug development. In addition, both companies claim to be working with Epic, the largest electronic medical record company in the United States.

Assume that the existing health care system can effectively use these health data so that doctors can monitor the patient's physical condition in real time, so they don't have to wait until the onset of illness.

However, the truth is the opposite. According to people in the medical device , digital medical, and pharmaceutical industries, doctors have neither the time nor the interest to track and use the data collected on wearable devices for these wonderful ideas. They don't want to spend extra time and money on uncertified treatment systems (including wearables), and more importantly, they are not willing to pay attention to the privacy issues of user data.

"What wearable devices collect is nothing more than another bunch of data, and doctors now process a lot of data every day, and there is no extra time at all," one of the people familiar with said. The doctor may encourage the user to wear Fitbit or Jawbone to exercise, but does not want to continue to receive the patient's physiological indicators.

Doximity is a social platform for doctors in the United States, said CEO Jeff Tangney. "Doctors are also geeks in the bones. They are also excited about wearable devices, but that's it. For most of the time, they are still Getting the latest test reports from an old fax machine is too busy, and you have time to care about the data on your wearable device. For them, learning to communicate via email may be more practical."

Another common view is that hospital administrators are reluctant to connect these data to hospital systems because data is subject to significant risks and responsibilities once it is involved in the hospital system. If the data is improperly stored and the system is invaded, the hospital will leak the patient's privacy and face the HIPAA (Medical Electronic Exchange Act) sanctions.

“For example, if the patient suddenly interrupts exercise one day, the alarm system on the wearable device informs us to intervene the patient. What should the hospital and doctor do?”

These are all issues that wearables may face before they can perform their health care role. The use and cost of doctors, the privacy of data, and the division of responsibilities, if not properly resolved, wearable devices may continue to bear the "toy only", "invisible", "scratch" A name greater than the practical value.

2022 New Laser Distance Sensor
