Imagine the future with wearable technology in 2020!

2020 will be the year that allour previous imaginary ideas will come true, especially in the healthcare industry like AI, 5G Technology, Digital Twins, 3D Printing Wearable Technology & more.

The future of the IoMT-Internet of medical things- which refers to the medical devices and applications that are connected to healthcare IT systems through an online computer network.

These medical devices allow machine-to-machine (M2M) communication over the internet, and further, link to a cloud platform through which data gets captured, stored, and analyzed. has grown rapidly, (IoMT) is predicted to grow at a significantly high growth rate during the forecast period (2018-2023). While the research indicates that the global market of medical wearable technology will worth $8 billion by 2020.

This growth in the field of IOMT is supposed to enhance the efficiency of medical services provided to patients, and then raise the level of patient satisfaction. In 2020 wearable technology will be considered one of the most important components of iOMT services as it will be transformed from simple consumer devices to complex systems of healthcare applications. The technological development of wearable devices is aimed at developing health care for patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes, arrhythmias, and mental and neurological conditions so that these patients can manage their self-health.

We will refer to some Medical Devices which are depending mainly on wearable technology and their impact on healthcare. The way to maximize patient satisfaction!

Imagine the way you can take control of your health and follow up with the patients through a high level of connections! The new trend of wearable devices will aim at achieving that, consumers will have the ability to take care of their own health using wearable devices like Fitbits, smartwatches, and wearable monitors.

1-Wearables| Fitness Trackers

Today, it’s easy to track your health activity with just wristbands equipped with sensors!

Fitness trackers are considered wearable devices that help you move and sleep better and improve overall health. They also provide health recommendations through syncing to various smartphone apps. One of the most famous wearable trackers is Fitbit Flex which aims at measuring the human’s exercise, diet, and sleep. Finally, it is considered a great choice for consumers in general, as it is distinguished by its elegance in design and the ability to track their progress throughout the day.

2- Wearables| Smart Watches

Can you imagine the market size of smartwatches in the wearable market?

In 2018 smartwatches accounted for approximately 60% of the overall wearable market. The future of smartwatches will transform from only counting steps and tell time into clinically viable healthcare tools.

According to Apple company in 2017 Smartwatches have used to monitor users’ heart rhythms and alert those who are experiencing atrial fibrillation according to, Stanford University announced the results of a study that atrial fibrillation could be detected with 84% accuracy with the Apple watch.

Smartwatches and other wearables allow healthcare providers to collect and analyze wide swaths of patient data and make the correct decisions.

3- Wearables| ECG Monitors

– The question here, what is the difference between ECG Monitors & Smart Watches?!

The unique in this wearable is the ability to measure electrocardiograms, which stand to ECGs. The ECG Monitors make a connection with the doctors by sending the reading of electrocardiograms to the patient’s doctor. Also, they have the ability to detect atrial fibrillation.

Monitoring technology enables quick, confident, and consistent care that is provided to the patients. It’s a solution for the challenge the faces care providers to raise patient satisfaction.

4- Wearables| Blood Pressure Monitors

Another technology of wearable monitoring is BPM (Blood Pressure Monitor), why do you think it is essential for Healthcare providers?!

It provides full monitoring of blood pressure. If the patient has high blood pressure, these devices can alarm him to reduce the efforts, also provide his doctor with additional information. If the patient’s blood pressure is normal, then the monitors can help him reassure it remains healthy to prevent occurrences of stroke, hypertension, and low pressure.

So you should use BPM for the following

·         Diagnose & monitor hypertension

·         Detect your cardiovascular risk

·         Have a complete picture of your heart health

5- Wearables| Biosensors

Biosensors are wearable medical devices that are different from wearable trackers and smartwatches in collecting a lot of data in an easy way. Just a self-adhesive patch allows patients to move around while collecting data on their movement, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature. The wearables have the ability to improve patient outcomes & raise satisfaction.

In conclusion;

the Healthcare future will have many challenges to improve the level of patient satisfaction & engagement, which you can do easily with wearable technology, these wearables will allow doctors and care providers to access and collect the data of their patients and highly connect with their patients in an easy way.

Also, the wearables provide greater visibility into the status of patient’s health which allows us to make right & accurate decisions.
