THE WEARABLE HEALTH REVOLUTION | 5

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY


>> Mobile devices, smart algorithms and the existence of huge, easily
accessible health databases are disrupting the health industry and shifting
the balance of power. Technology is taking over the measurement of the
human body with sensors that continuously, conveniently and precisely
measure variables such as body temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure,
ECG, blood sugar, blood oxygen, sleep patterns and many more variables.
Soreon Research calls these systems (hardware with underlying software
and databases) Smart Wearable Healthcare Systems. <<
In this way, smart wearable healthcare systems can determine the health situation or
detect diseases/medical issues in individual patients. Even the slightest deterioration or
improvement of a certain condition can be recorded, monitored and used to trigger
medical interventions. The most important trends of this transformation are:

The focus of healthcare will shift from disease treatment to prevention, as the
convenient and continuous monitoring of the human body will detect early warning
signs.

Future medical care will be highly personalized, compared to the one size fits
all approach we are seeing today.

The importance of medical standards will vastly increase, based on the


intelligent interpretation of continuously measured physiological data of a large
number of individuals.

New players will change industry dynamics. Software and hardware companies
are playing an increasing role in the medical field, thereby challenging the
established relationship among patients, doctors and hospitals.

Today, we are at the mere beginning of this deep transformation of the healthcare sector.
Even as we write this report, new technologies are being developed by hundreds of startups and established medtech companies. However, heavy regulation of the healthcare
industry and the inherent conservatism of many healthcare professionals will somewhat
hinder the adoption of these new technologies. The penetration of smart wearable
healthcare technology will take years, even decades in some cases. However, the ubiquity
of mobile devices and networks even in the remotest areas of the world and consumers
growing savviness about mobile technology are pushing the adoption of these
technological innovations.

THE WEARABLE HEALTH REVOLUTION | 6

Smart wearable healthcare market growing exponentially to more than USD 40 billion
Today, the global size of this market (devices, software and directly linked services) is
estimated at around USD 2 billion. By the year 2020 this market is estimated to reach USD
41 billion. This equals a compounded annual growth rate of 65%. Diabetes, sleep disorders,
obesity and cardiovascular diseases are the biggest growth segments in this market. The
main driver of growth is the rapidly increasing rate of these medical conditions around
the world, especially in emerging markets; as the population is aging, people are reaching
higher income levels and changing their diets and physical activities accordingly. A second
growth driver is the availability of mobile technology itself, which is able to measure,
conveniently and cheaply, many of the critical variables that are directly associated with
such lifestyle-related conditions as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

3.0 THE HEALTHCARE REVOLUTION AND


ITS IMPLICATIONS
3.1

SMART WEARABLES DISRUPT THE HEALTHCARE MARKET

The current pace of technical innovation is unprecedented. Within two decades,


virtually everybody in the world has come to own a mobile phone, even in rural areas of
developing countries. Leading companies such as Blackberry and Nokia imploded within
short periods of time, as they failed to anticipate new technologies. Major improvements
in sensor technologies, continuous access to the Internet and big data analytics are now
transforming many aspects of our lives.
This trend will hugely impact our healthcare systems: ( more in full report)

3.2

WHAT IS A SMART WEARABLE?

Wearable technologies in medicine are nothing new: eyeglasses were invented in the 13th
century, and millions of people around the world are wearing hearing aids. Smart
wearables build on these technologies. However, unlike conventional wearables, many of
them include physiological sensors and are connected to the Internet. This
connection opens up a wide variety of use cases, based on large databases and almost
unlimited processing power.
While smart wearables are hardware-based, they include a software-based back-end. In
fact, this is where the value is created. Connection between the device and the back-end
is frequently made via mobile phones. In some cases, smart wearables access the Internet
directly via mobile phone or Wi-Fi technology, while in other cases they require a
dedicated device for data upload.

TOP 10 RECOMMENDATIONS TO SUCCEED WITH SMART


WEARABLES

Soreon Research has analyzed more than 200 development projects in the field of wearable
technologies, both in the start-up scene as well as with big corporates. As tech giants like
Apple and Samsung, as well as hundreds of nimble start-ups, are gearing up their efforts
in smart wearable healthcare, this opportunity must be high on the agenda of every
healthcare executive. Bystanders and laggards will be steamrolled by a wave of
technological innovation as never witnessed before. The following list of
recommendations provides the essence of our learnings with regard to making smart
wearables a success:

THE WEARABLE HEALTH REVOLUTION | 18

4.0 METHODOLOGY
4.1

SELECTION OF PATIENT GROUPS

This study analyzes the development and evolution of smart wearable technology in
healthcare for ten patient groups. The ten selected patient groups represent the largest
such groups in the context of smart wearable healthcare systems.
Each patient group is discussed separately in this report, which presents a working
definition, market overview, market size 2014-2020, growth factors and three best practice
profiles for each patient group. The patient groups included in this report are:

Diabetes

Sleep disorder

Obesity

Cardiovascular disease

In-hospital monitoring

Geriatric condition/ PERS

Asthma

Alzheimers

Epilepsy

Others

In-hospital monitoring is not a medical condition in itself but rather a major field in
healthcare in terms of cost factor and the excellent opportunity for smart wearables to be
a game changer. To represent the breadth of available solutions, one group was labelled
Others- where we included all solutions that do not fall within the other segments.
Within every patient group our analysts researched the most relevant use cases. Use cases
are defined as possible applications of smart wearables within a patient group. Use cases
can be monitoring, diagnosing or treating a medical condition with a smart wearable.
Examples are detection of asthma through acoustical monitoring of wheeze (one of the
major symptoms of an asthma attack), where the monitoring is the use case and wheeze
is the proxy for the asthma attack.
The majority of applications fall in the category of monitoring, followed by diagnosing and
treatment as the least represented group. In some cases one product may cover more than
one use case, for example Pancreum, a wearable artificial pancreas (see chapter 7.5) that
integrates both a sensor for monitoring blood glucose levels and an insulin pump for the
treatment of low level blood glucose.
In the best practice profiles this report presents example products for the different
identified use cases.

THE WEARABLE HEALTH REVOLUTION | 19

4.2

IDENTIFICATION OF BEST PRACTICE PROFILES

Our main focus in the identification of best practice profiles is threefold: giving an
overview of the available applications on the market, identifying the most innovative
players in the industry and providing a truly global picture of vendors of smart wearable
tech in healthcare. We have applied the following definition criteria for smart wearables:

Wearable device: the device should be wearable on the body, in terms of size and
supportive material. Small portable devices may be included if they can be worn in a
pocket near the body. The device is therefore neither bulky nor implanted into the
patients body.

Continuity of wearing: the device can be used over a longer period of time, for
continuous measurements. Singular applications, such as taking a single sample, are
not included.

Medical purpose rather than lifestyle: the product is for a clear medical purpose
rather than for wellness or fitness needs.

Connectivity: the device is connected to the Internet, cloud or software that enables
the analysis of measurement data in real time or once connected to the receiver device.

4.3

BEST PRACTICE PROFILES EVALUATION PROCESS

Once the best practice profiles were selected, they were integrated into a profile and
ranked against a set of criteria. The evaluation of the wearable healthcare solutions chosen
for inclusion in this report took place in August and September 2014.
Each best practice profile was analyzed independently by two analysts, and the analysis
and evaluation were repeated after an interval of six weeks. Given the quantity of
information that had to be analyzed, the possibility of overlooking some information in
individual cases cannot be ruled out.
The initial information gathering phase of our research included data sources like the
company website and reports, user guides as well as secondary data such as newspaper
reports, specialist publications and professional reviews of wearable healthcare
technology. Our analysts have reviewed all written material as well as images and video
files, and last but not least clinical studies that were publicly accessible. The bulk of the
information gathered was provided by the company or specific product websites.
Marketing materials and product videos were subjected to careful analysis to elicit as
much hard data about the solutions as possible.
All the companies in this report were provided with a questionnaire one month in advance
of the publication of the report in order to further clarify all aspects of their products. The
questionnaire is accessible in the data appendix of this report.

THE WEARABLE HEALTH REVOLUTION | 21

4.4

BEST PRACTICE PROFILES

Each of the best practice profiles consists of these building blocks:

Company profile: basic data such as founding year and headquarters and a brief
descriptive company profile

Key product information: price, use case and required regulatory approval as well as
unique selling proposition

Use case: table listing criteria connected to use case and user experience

Hardware: table listing all hardware data

Software: table listing all software data

Review: discussion of the main benefits and market position of the product

Future potential improvements/key challenges: bullet points presenting the most


important challenges for the future of product development and market entry

4.5

DISRUPTIVENESS RANKING

The disruptiveness ranking aims to rate all best practice profiles in three core parameters:
innovation, enablers and market potential. All best practice profiles were tested against
nine criteria in these core parameters. They could achieve up to a maximum of 20 points.
Whether a best practice profile achieved a higher or a lower score for one criterion
depended on the degree to which it fulfilled the criterion as described. For each criterion
a description of the different valuation and its meaning are available.
In the final category of the ranking criteria, our analysts estimated the market potential of
each best practice product. Market potential was estimated based on the number of
patients in a specific area, multiplied by the annual cost of a suitable smart wearable and
available income/number of people who can potentially afford it.
