Measuring health The latest generation of health sensing wearables wonât just simply measure input, theyâll enable accurate, credible and safe data that will not only help doctors but usher in an age of wearable, regulated medical devices.
Today, weâre on the verge of a third generation of health sensing technology. The first was aimed at tracking fitness, making simple measurements of inputs (such as how many steps the user took in a day) rather than outputs (how does that affect the usersâ health). The second recorded easier health-related targets like pulse rate but struggled to find a use for the data.
