Dr. Eric Topol, founder and director of the Scripps Translational Science Institute and a longtime digital health thought leader, said he expects further technological innovation on sensors as well — something else that could be accelerated by the availability of reimbursement.
“I think we still haven’t seen the combinations of technologies, so for example I’m very keen on remote monitoring of all vital signs,” Topol said. “That would include blood pressure, heart rhythm and rate, oxygen saturation in the blood, temperature, respiratory rate, right? We should have that now and we don’t have it yet.
Samsung is moving closer than than other platforms.

so now we can glimpse just how it gets marketed/sold/underwritten?
this snip goes here
Two major things can hamper the adoption of a good idea in healthcare: too much regulation and not enough reimbursement.
Open q; With this better view of the BIG pic. Would a tier 1 who has such a device-
not bring it to market. Also that the really good support for such a device, ie the
change in Medicare reimbursement to these device is BIG and is only happening in '18. It seems to be coming together in a nice way?
Any incremental info here?
Yes, it helped a fair bit, there is a BIG pic evolution that supports bringing health grade wearables to market, and gives good visibility into why their marketing has to be different than consumer. I learned a lot today
.The value of digressive reading- you just never know what you will find.
The nuggets from todays sifting were better than usual. It helped to show the very big pic-regulation is decreasing and reimbursement is recognized.
