Tier 1 wearables...




  1. With this folder I will post a distilled version of reading that relates to these very important devices.

    Samsung's Chief medical officer was asked about the Simband project at CES....here is the text of that exchange.


    Exclusive Interview with Dr. David Rhew, Chief Medical Officer of Samsung Electronics America

    MedgadgetIn terms of the wearables, is there anything large that you guys are working on? I read about this Simband a couple years ago in 2014, that’s kind of died down and the rumors that is coming back is that because of the sensor functionality.

    David: Yes it never died. That’s good news. The funny thing is as we look to build this out and we actually had fully functional models that were working. It worked great, the only problem was it was just too darn expensive.

    There was a non-market viable solution. What we realized is we’re going to really have to think not just through the sensors but what makes sense in terms of putting it onto a device and how do you position or market that device because, as you all know, there’s a balance, there’s a trade-off between all the great things that you can do on a SmartWatch and the battery. It drains the battery, the more you do all these different things and so we’ve really been thinking about target specific use cases for which things and how do we leverage that. You’ll see either components or sets of components from the Simband and other types of things that we’ve been working on being brought into our product roadmap as we launch new products.

    The quick answer is “yes” there’s a lot of some really exciting stuff, probably stuff that were related to Simband and other things because we’ve been thinking a lot about sensor technology. We will probably start seeing that come out in some of the later version things of the different wearables.


    a whole lot more as this was just one of many questions.



    anything new?

    That it is a whole platform for all things health.

    One phrase is being mentioned now and NOT before....


    so we’ve really been thinking about target specific use cases 


    so the mental picture is a flexible wearable health platform with device for specific medical conditions....it would not take long and they could have a half dozen.....break it down into systems/ how?

    I will track this along.

    Use this to show they ARE really focused on Health and want to do a really good job.
    If you are serious students please read the whole item as the stuff bout the security and FDA etc is useful.

    so the work done in porting stuff could be used for any/all such devices :)). ?






it would be great if the eFPGA helps this strategy along.
