Philips launches wearable for chronic illness, to make the internet of things medical-grade

The people who most need fitness trackers and quantified self gadgets aren’t necessarily the ones using them. People who are chronically ill could benefit from wearable technology and the data those devices provide, but the gap between the consumer and the medical market looms large.
Philips, in partnership with Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands, is trying to bridge that gap with a device targeted at people suffering fromchronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The disease affects former smokers and makes it progressively more difficult to breathe. Through a partnership between Philips and Salesforce.com, the proposed medical-grade device would send data to a certified cloud platform, and caregivers can then pull the data into a variety of apps.
Unlike your Jawbone data, for example, the data coming from the COPD device would be usable by doctors, because the device would be certified by regulatory bodies and prescribed by doctors. And because the data is going to a compliant cloud, physicians or nurses can check it, while patients will hopefully feel more secure about the information collection and storage.
The proposed COPD device would feed data collected from patients at home to caregivers through the Philips HealthSuite Digital Platform to two FDA-approved clinical applications — eCare Companion and eCare Coordinator. The device would collect data after a patient leaves the hospital, including physical activity, respiratory indicator, sleep apnea, sleep quality, heart rhythm and heart rate variability. That data is fed into the Philips platform where the apps can access it.
Philips has tapped Salesforce to build the APIs that will let people create applications using the data stored in its digital health cloud as part of a wide-ranging partnership the two firms signed earlier this summer. I expect we’ll hear more about it at our Structure Connect event next week, where Salesforce SVP Todd Pierce will discuss how we can bridge the gap between consumer and medical-grade personal tracking.

At SXSW® 2015 we offered a closer look at how Health and fitness apps, smart devices and connected products are making us more aware of our own health—and more active participants in our efforts to stay healthy.
Wearable devices. Connected technologies. Personal health data tracking.

Beyond wearable tech: How Philips is pushing towards the future of connected health
by MARTIN BRYANT Tweet — 25 Mar, 07:41pm in INSIDER
Health tech was a big theme at SXSW last week, and I met up with Liat Ben-Zur, Senior Vice-President and Digital Technology Leader at Philips, to find out about how thelongstanding tech giant is approaching the digital health revolution.
Given its broad reach across consumer and business technology, Philips sees digital health as encompassing everything from connected services for doctors through to healthier consumer tech products.
“What if your crockpot could manage the nutritional value of your dinner?,” as the company said in its SXSW PR pitch. To ‘join the dots’, the company has created a platform to share data across a spectrum of Internet of Things devices.
The photograph above shows a wearable diagnostic prototype for chronic illness, which was first unveiled at Salesforce’s Dreamforce event last year. Salesforce is a partner in Philips’ HealthSuite Digital Platform. The prototype patch feeds diagnostic information from the patient at home back to doctors via the platform.
In the audio interview below, Ben-Zur explains how Philips wants us all to move beyond the novelty of connected devices and start to see how much broader the world of connected health can be.
