Where is the future of the wearable medical device market?

The trend of development of the wearable medical electronics that once smashed seems to be starting to weaken. What are the problems encountered by wearable medical electronics, which has led to a slower growth rate, and even less popular with consumers? And in which direction should it be adjusted to create another market peak?

According to the predictions made by some research units on wearable devices in the past two years, many research units regard wearable medical electronic devices as the main force driving the growth of the wearable device market. For example, Smart Health & Fitness Wearables: Device Strategies, Trends & Forecasts 2014-2019, published by Juniper Research, a UK market research agency, predicts that By 2018, the market for wearable devices will grow threefold, from 19 million units to 60 million units.

Among them, the medical field and the wearable device can be said to be "perfect". Medical electronics require patients, especially chronic patients, to wear on the body and monitor physiological information from time to time. Therefore, wearable medical devices are also naturally regarded as the wearable device market. The mainstay.

However, over time, vendors who have been optimistic about the wearable medical electronics market, such as Qualcomm, have established Qualcomm Life for medical electronics; the first to introduce Simband's modular wearable device reference design in 2014 Samsung (Samsung) of the platform; and related wearable medical electronic products launched by some startups seem to have not been widely popularized and still focus on a few specific markets.

On the other hand, wearable medical electronics, once built by sensors, wearable devices, wireless communications and cloud data platforms, have attracted the attention of many industry players. However, despite the increase in the number of manufacturers entering the market, similar products in the market, and the chaos of the profit model of the industry are unknown, and other factors, as well as medical electronics involving professional and personal safety, have to undergo long certification time and human trials. In the past, it has become a high wall that hinders market growth.

In the end, in which direction should the wearable medical electronics be developed to "make the wall fall?" Really as the market regulator predicted, shoulder the task of leading the wearable device market to sprint?

Cloud development boosts

The main reason for the market for the number of wearable devices is the promotion of the Internet of Things (IoT) concept. Chen Jiancheng, manager of analog, MEMS and sensing components at STMicroelectronics, said that while the peak of wearable devices is over, the future wearable device market will continue to grow steadily. Wearable devices can be divided into three to four categories, of which sports and medical-related wearable devices still have room to continue to grow. For example, wearable devices related to exercise physiological monitoring are expected to be 2018~ The annual growth rate in 2019 is still 10%.

Wearable medical devices are benefiting from the more and more perfect cloud platform construction, the aging era, and the awareness of preventive medicine, which is expected to be “gradually better”. Jesse Masters, product marketing manager for Silicon Micro Devices' product line at Silicon Labs, points out that many medical device manufacturers are integrating wireless technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) into their applications, such as Pulse oximeter, insulin pump and electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors, etc., to pave the way for the future. These physiological data are also uploaded to the cloud platform with more and more management and analysis capabilities through wireless technology, providing truly "effective" messages to doctors and chronic patients.

Chen Jiancheng added that modern people have many chronic diseases due to their living habits, and chronic diseases require long-term treatment and monitoring of the disease. If chronic patients are going to go to the hospital for medical treatment, it will not only be hard, but also cause a waste of medical resources. Therefore, the wearable medical device with built-in wireless communication technology can set the period of collecting physiological data according to the doctor's needs, and then transmit it to the cloud management platform for the doctor to read or prevent the occurrence of chronic disease complications.

Intel believes that the popularity of the Internet of Things and the advent of related devices have given many wearable medical devices more new opportunities to play their role. For example, the various information on the radio frequency identification (RFID) patch on the patient can be easily transmitted to the cloud through the Internet of Things gateway (Gateway). The patient can make the first time without having to make too many settings. You can see the physiological data with your doctor and further obtain medical advice through other devices. You can also get the elderly who live alone to get proper medical care.

And Ambit International (ARM) is also optimistic that the Internet of Things era will drive the further development of the wearable medical electronics market. James McNiven, general manager of the company's processor and multimedia processor business unit, said that the Internet of Things world is gradually taking shape, and the technologies that make devices or devices more easily connected to the cloud platform are becoming more and more sophisticated, and related control and processing chips are changing with each passing day. To make many devices smarter. Including wearable medical electronic devices, sports bracelets, etc., smarter and more accurate wearable medical devices, coupled with the help of the cloud platform, the market for wearable medical electronic devices is expected to continue to grow.

In other words, when these wearable medical devices with wireless technology are paired with the cloud information management platform and are considered to be more and more "useful", the acceptance of natural users will also increase. Therefore, although the boom in the market for wearable medical devices has not yet occurred, the market kinetic energy of many wearable application types will be expected to increase significantly in the next few years.

Wireless sensor patch market can be expected

One of the reasons why previously wearable medical electronic devices are less popular with consumers is that it will affect the convenience of daily life. For example, in the past, a device that detects whether the heartbeat is normal may require the subject to "back" the device for 24 hours. During this period, the patch and the machine cannot touch the water, otherwise it may fall off or fail. In recent years, with the advancement of technology, similar devices have become smaller and smaller, but they still affect daily actions, or let users always feel that there is something on the body; or, in order to transmit physiological information. There must be a few transmission lines on the body? It is inconvenient at all.

Therefore, wireless sensing patches will soon become the focus of relevant manufacturers. According to Masters, clinical and non-clinical medical patches will have tremendous growth potential in the next five years and become a billion-dollar industry. The reason is that the patch is smaller and easier to wear than other wearable devices, which means it can be more adaptable and acceptable to the user, and can also reduce costs for healthcare providers.

STMicroelectronics is working with HMicro to launch a clinical-grade one-time smart sensor patch and biosensor single-chip solution for the 5 billion cable patch market. Chen Jiancheng said that the sensor patch mainly collects heart rate, blood oxygen and respiratory monitoring physiological information. In order to meet the conditions of long-term use, not allowing the transmission line to interfere with the patient's life, high precision and comfort, the patch is in addition to the condition. In addition to built-in radio frequency (RF) related technology and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors, there are two low power microcontrollers (MCUs).

In addition to wireless patches, wrist-worn wearable medical devices, such as hospital registration and patient identification bracelets, will also be equipped with wireless technologies such as Bluetooth Beacon, Global Positioning System (GPS), and mobile communications. In the future, it will be expected to see applications like Bluetooth beaconing as a nursing home for elderly patients.
