The Next New Thing
Wearable fitness trackers have exploded onto the scene in recent years and are now popular as ever. Brands such as Fitbit, Garmin, Jawbone and more all offer individuals the ability to track and record their data on their own specific databases. Some even offer the option of connecting and sharing progress with friends. However, there is no platform that connects the people wearing these technologies with doctors. I envision a universal platform where users can connect their wearable technologies, no matter the brand, and their data can be tracked and viewed with healthcare professionals who can monitor the data, provide help/feedback, and more.

I think your idea is great. If doctors were connected with fitness trackers, it'd be much more efficient for the user.
ReplyDeleteWow that seems like a great idea. It would be useful for doctors to be able to monitor that information. In regards to wearable technology, I think it would be interesting to also place it on patients with Parkinson's to see if treatments are helping them. The wearable technology can track how much shaking is occurring.
ReplyDeleteI think this idea is great! Using this technology, doctors can monitor their patients from the data that is being fed to them using this tech. This can help doctors notify their patients if there is any abnormalities with their health.

ReplyDeletei think your idea is great,if doctors using that technology,it can more effcient help them to collect data.and as result,we could recive better treatments.
ReplyDeleteSo interesting that you should mention this! I wrote my paper on how big data will be the future as our society goes into a signaling economy. One example I recently read about is how eSurance offers a device to monitor your driving history and offer you discounts if you drive within certain parameters. However, for the sake of a small monetary, people are willing to give up all their driving history and privacy. This data is super important and will be the future. Something to think about in the future!
