Moves App

Humana’s Cue App

•  Drink water •  Stretch •  Breath •  Straighten up •  Go outside

Common Requirements •  Data collec2on – Accurate, flawlessly, con<nuous

•  Data processing –  Interpreta<on, es<ma<on, filtering

•  Data visualiza2on – Progress along <me, among peers, easy to access, lightweight solu<on

•  Interven2on

Benefits

Key Challenges •  Interfaces and Interac<on – Transient requirements, context changes, limited resources

•  Self-‐diagnose – Shik health care to a pa<ent-‐centric paradigm

•  Valida<on – Precision, personaliza<on, calibra<on, error

•  Risks – Es<ma<on, assump<on

Accuracy

Opportuni2es •  Behavior change – Monitoring, visualizing, assis<ng

•  Data analysis •  Epidemiological trends •  Peer health •  Precision medicine

Trends •  Microrobots

Conclusion •  While wearable health has a promising poten<al for promo<ng and improving medical care, current solu<ons are s<ll in their infancy, and further efforts are needed un<l wearable technologies become accessible, safe, and popular
