Release date: 2015-04-14 1 Smart Health Scanner ScanaduScout Scanadu Scout (hereinafter referred to as Scout), a self-service medical diagnostic device with a large palm size, allows people to re-examine and value their physical health. Even after Silicon Valley "Iron Man" Elon Musk tried Scout, he commented: "After experiencing Scout, the results of the medical examination are very amazing. This is the product that the world needs." Simply described, Scout is a "signal scanner." You point it at your forehead for a few seconds, then your physical indicators will be sent to your phone and will give you an evaluation and guidance on your physical condition (such as whether you have a fever or not). Small size, "fool-like" operation, suitable for all ages. Use Scout to test your heart rate, skin temperature, blood oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, blood pressure, electrocardiogram, and mood swings. That's right, just touch the forehead for 10 seconds and all of these parameters are recorded accurately and transmitted to the mobile. These 7 parameters are analyzed by the algorithm to provide you with an effective reference, so that you have a thorough understanding of your current physical condition. The three functions of Scout are: one to let people better understand their own body; the other is to reduce the number of visits to the doctor and avoid making a fuss; the third can give your private doctor more comprehensive information to help diagnose. 2 brain wave products Emotiv Insight Emotiv Insight can detect eight behavioral phenomena: attention, concentration, participation, interest, excitement, intimacy, relaxation, and stress. Seven expressions can be identified: blinking, blinking in the left eye, blinking in the right eye, frowning, surprise, smile, and teething. In the application case listed by Emotiv, people with disabilities use it to control wheelchairs, drive cars, create music, and more traditional control aircraft, games, and more.

More than 50 million people in the United States are affected. If people use the inhaler to transmit the time, place, and symptoms they are experiencing to the medical institution, it can be of great help to the patient. What can PropellerHealth do? Experts recommend tracking the symptoms, inhalers, and medications used in patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, it can be difficult to generate such patient records, and the general records are intermittent and incomplete. The PropellerHealth sensor tracks the patient's medication use and records when and where the patient is using the inhaler. The PropellerHealth sensor is a small device that can be placed over the outside of the patient's inhaler without affecting patient use. It can be used to track patient symptoms and compliance separately. PropellerHealth's feedback on results after collecting data can help patients better manage their asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. PropellerHealth provides an app that allows PropellerHealth sensors to synchronize information with smartphones via Bluetooth. Patients can view their own collected information and provide personalized feedback and education to improve patient asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease status control. The APP application can also collect, process, and analyze the frequency, location, and time of the patient's use of the inhaler, and form an intuitive feedback report for the doctor to refer to, so that both doctors and patients can better grasp the details and direction of the disease. 4 underwear for detecting cancer First Warning Systems FirstWarning Systems, a Nevada digital health startup, has successfully raised $560,000. The company said it plans to launch sensor products that detect early breast cancer in early 2015. The current gold standard for breast cancer testing is mammography, but the technique has limitations such as inaccurate results, uncomfortable, and radiation. FirstWarning Systems sensors detect early breast cancer by detecting small changes in metabolic temperature caused by cancer cells. First Warning Systems' product plans have been adjusted to use the same temperature-changing sensor as the previous smart bra, placing the sensor in a small device that fits into the user's underwear and then connects to the smartphone. This temperature change information is sent to FirstWarning Systems' global database, which is then analyzed by a specific algorithm, and then the results are fed back to the user's mobile phone. Test results show that the technology can detect whether the user has breast cancer ahead of the traditional technology. The new product is subject to approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which plans to sell the product through two channels: direct sales to hospitals and direct sales to consumers through pharmacies. The company plans to initially enter the Asian market through Singapore because it is now CE certified. The US listing date may have to wait until the end of 2015. 5 Mobile ECG Monitoring ZIO Patch A wireless device called ZIO Patch can monitor multiple arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation, which is better than the Holter monitor (Holter monitor). Holter has been the benchmark for mobile heart rate monitoring for the past half century. Developed by the San Francisco company iRhythm and certified by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ZIO Patch is a non-hazardous waterproof device that can be worn on the chest for nearly two weeks. The Scripps Translational Science Institute compared ZIO Patch and Holter electrocardiograph data from 146 patients (these patients' conditions are also suitable for ZIO Patch and Holter monitoring). It was found that ZIO Patch identified a total of 96 arrhythmia patients and Holter identified 61. "This is the first large pre-validation that demonstrates this new technology to replace Norman Holter's equipment invented in 1949," said Eric Topol, a cardiologist and STSI director. Topol said in a proposed statement that the monitoring process over the past two weeks showed that "ZIO Patch is much more sensitive than Holter." Holter consists of a cell phone-sized recorder that is usually worn at the waist of the patient, and 5 to 7 leads attached to the chest, which can only be worn for 24 hours at a time. STSI officials said that the physician made a "final conclusion" after analyzing the data of the two instruments, ZIOPatch accuracy rate of 90%, Holter accuracy rate of only 64%. The survey also showed that after wearing both ZIO Patch and Holter, Holter detected 11 more arrhythmia cases than ZIOPatch in the first 24 hours, but the 11 cases were eventually monitored by ZIO Patch after 24 hours. Moreover, Holter monitored two fewer cases within 24 hours than the ZIO Patch. 6 person portable hand sanitizer Swipesense Swipesense personal portable hand sanitizer dispenser, which can be worn by medical staff and can disinfect hands at any time.

PhysIQ integrates all variable information and combines the clinical criteria of the medical clinic to compare whether the individual's physiological information deviates. Through the accumulation and analysis of a large amount of data, it is often possible to detect some subtle signs of deterioration and prevent it from happening. The important difference between PhysIQ and other medical big data analytics platforms is that PhysIQ is an early warning platform, not a diagnostic tool. It is only used to monitor changes in human physiological information and to assist clinicians or individuals in making decisions. The PhysIQ platform is completely different from other health management platforms. It is a new personal-based personalized physiological analysis, rather than a general big data-based population analysis. PhysIQ has its own unique algorithm to support data analysis while collecting data through many wearable mobile medical devices, rather than a single, single medical device. PhysIQ's technical design is compatible with a wide range of compatible sensors or medical devices, and the diversity of data collection means that the PhysIQ platform will produce more realistic and comprehensive personal physiological data that will be converted into usable physiological data. . The core function of the PhysIQ platform is to simplify the process of physiological monitoring by turning complex data into clear information. It is highly reliable and is designed to minimize false alarms. 10 intelligent sports protective cap MC10 The MC10 is a very unique sensor company that wants to make traditional microchips as flexible and flexible as human skin.
