Wearables For Mhealth Apps: The Future Of The Healthcare Industry
While the benefits of mHealth apps and wearables among the common users are well known, the benefits of its use among healthcare professionals are still unknown
There are various ways health wearables are changing the healthcare industry, streamlining diagnosis and treatment
There’s a new technology trend in the market every day. Some of these
succeed, while some of these fail to make their mark. But what happens
when two very successful technology trends come together?
When the wearable technology started to enter the market, not many
people gave it a second thought. Whether it’s a Bluetooth headphone,
Google glasses or Apple watch. The ordinary “not-so-tech-savvy†users
were not very enthusiastic about investing in these devices until they
connected with another major trend in the market, the mHealth apps.
Due to the emergence of smartphones, users have been using mHealth
apps for a long time already. These usages were limited to recording
their health details and whatnot. But with the wearable technology, they
now have a hands-on way of tracking various aspects of their health in
real-time. Whether it is their blood pressure or heart rate per minute,
with the integration of wearable technology in mHealth apps, the users
now have the perfect way of keeping track of their health.
It will, however, be wrong of us to assume that mHealth app wearables
are only limited to modern fitness bands such as Fitbits and Mi bands.
Wearable devices for mHealth apps have crossed the boundaries of simply
keeping track of fitness and reached healthcare professionals to help
them with various complex medical diagnoses and problems. What are these
problems? Let’s have a look.
Wearable Trends In mHealth App: How It Helps The Professionals?
While the benefits of mHealth apps and wearables among the common
users are well known, the benefits of its use among healthcare
professionals are still unknown. There are various ways health wearables
are changing the healthcare industry, streamlining diagnosis and
treatment.
Here are a few examples of how the emerging technology of wearables
in mHealth application are helping out the professionals in the field.
Increasing Efficiency During Surgery
If we are talking about the benefits of wearables in the healthcare
industry, we need to start with the increased efficiency during surgery.
Performing surgery on the human body is a complicated enough procedure,
but now the integration of wearables is helping the surgeons to perform
even the most complicated surgeries with precision.
While previously the approach to surgery was an “Open†approach,
today thanks to wearable and mHealth tech, the surgeons can apply the
minimally invasive methods of performing surgery. This way they can
prevent a lot of blood loss, shorter recovery time for the patients and
fewer chances of infections.
Whether we are talking about the development of robotic wearable arm
for surgeries or the simple application of Google Glasses, the wearable
tech in mHealth apps are surely making the otherwise complex field of
surgeries a lot easier to navigate.
Wearable IoT in the Healthcare Industry
IoT is already an extremely popular technology trend in the market.
And when you add that to the wearable mHealth trends in the healthcare
industry, you have plenty of efficient applications of wearable IoT in
healthcare.
Besides the more obvious use of IoT to locate medical instruments
throughout the building, the wearable IoT devices are helping the
medical professionals to locate doctors within seconds during an
emergency. These devices are also helping with the treatment of
patients, as it is evident from the popularity of smart continuous
glucose monitors and connected inhalers. With these connected devices it
is easier for the medical professionals to not only diagnose the
patient but treat them with accuracy.
The wearable IoT devices in the healthcare industry have proven that
the amalgamation of technology with the healthcare industry is going to
be extremely beneficial for both the patients as well as the doctors.
Wearable Biosensors
One of the most futuristic applications of wearable technology for
mHealth apps is wearable biosensors. These small sensors are capable of
providing continuous physiological information through non-invasive
methods. With these sensors, healthcare professionals can measure the
biochemical markers in biofluids like sweat, blood, tears, saliva, etc
to keep track of the patient’s health and help the physicians to provide
better treatment.
Not just for healthcare, these wearable sensors are being used by the
sportspeople and military as well. With Biosensors like these, the
military could actually monitor the health of their troops on the field.
The medical experts can keep track of any chemical or infectious agent
the soldiers can come across, providing added safety and advantage in
the wars. For athletes, wearable biosensors make it easy to keep track
of their vitals during training. They can easily gain a competitive edge
with biosensors designed to track their health and health and
performance.
Creating a Proactive Healthcare Environment
The present-day healthcare system is more reactive than proactive.
The patients only go to healthcare professionals after they show the
symptoms of illness. While this might be more convenient for a lot of
people, it is sometimes too late for the doctors to do anything about
the illness. And that’s why using medical wearables can be a perfect way
of changing the healthcare system into a proactive one so that the
patients can be treated ahead of time.
With proactive healthcare systems, healthcare professionals can keep a
close track of the patient’s health and act fast when any
irregularities occur. This way the doctors can be prepared before any
medical emergency makes the scenario even worse.
Easy Monitoring of the Patients
The emerging trend of wearables for mHealth applications has now made
it easy for healthcare professionals to monitor the vitals of the
patients. Sensors such as the ECG sensor, health patches are the perfect
gadgets to monitor vulnerable patients in real-time.
Not only among the doctors but the popularity of these wearables are
increasing among the common users too. Healthcare wearables are helping
them immensely to take care of their ill family members by taking
proactive measures when any kind of irregularities occur in their
vitals. These sensors are also perfect for those who’ve had serious
surgery. The medical services providers can track their recovery even
when they are at home. This way the patients don’t have to spend a whole
lot of time in the hospital for recovery.

Apple, J&J Launch New mHealth Study Targeting Wearables and AFib
Apple is partnering with Johnson & Johnson on a new mHealth study to determine whether the Apple Watch and an accompanying app can help reduce the risk of stroke in older Americans.
The Heartline Study is open to the more than 40 million seniors enrolled in Medicare
Goal is to determine whether the ECG sensor and app on the Apple Watch can accurately detect the presence of atrial fibrillation, a key indicator of stroke susceptibility.
The Heartline Study
is open to the more than 40 million seniors enrolled in Medicare. Its
goal is to determine whether the ECG sensor and app on the Apple Watch
can accurately detect the presence of atrial fibrillation, a key
indicator of stroke susceptibility.
“Right now, we rely on symptoms – such as quivering, fluttering or
irregular heart rhythm – to detect AFib,†Michael Gibson, MD, CEO of the
Baim Institute for Clinical Research, founder of the Perfuse Study
Group at Harvard Medical School and a co-leader on the study, said in a story on the J&J website.
“But the hope is that a wearable device could detect an irregular heart
rhythm earlier, since people may not be able to recognize symptoms
without assistance. It could act like a warning light that allows a
mechanic to detect whether something’s wrong before the car actually
breaks down.â€
Gibson will head the study alongside John Spertus, MD, the Daniel J.
Lauer/Missouri Endowed Chair in Metabolic and Vascular Disease Research
at the University of Missouri at Kansas City.
This study follows on the heels of the Apple Heart Study,
to date the largest analysis of mHealth data from a wearable device.
Launched in 2017 by the Stanford University School of Medicine, Apple
and American Well, the study attracted almost 420,000 participants and
laid the groundwork for the viability of ECG sensors for detecting AFib.
“The study’s findings will help patients and clinicians understand
how devices like Apple Watch can play a role in identifying atrial
fibrillation, a deadly and often undiagnosed disease,†Mintu Turakhia,
MD, an associate professor of cardiovascular medicine at Stanford, said
when the study’s results were released in 2019. “Additionally, these
important findings lay the foundation for further research into the use
of emerging wearable technologies in clinical practice and demonstrate
the unique potential of large-scale app-based studies.â€
But that study raised concerns because it wasn’t focused on one
particular population, leading to worries that such digital health tools
could cause more harm than good.
This time around, investigators are homing in on a population facing a significant risk of stroke.
“Each year more than 795,000 people have a stroke in the US, and
some studies have shown that many people would rather die than live with
the aftereffects of a disabling stroke,†Gibson said. “Secondly, we
have an aging population, so there are more and more older patients
around the world. These are exactly the patients who are at the highest
risk of atrial fibrillation, which is associated with a significant
increase in the risk of stroke. But the good news is that these strokes
may be preventable.â€
‘By having the study focus on the highest risk patients, my hope is
that we can potentially help participants improve their heart health,â€
he added.
Participants in the study will use an Apple Watch and Heartline Study
app, which alerts the user when the smartwatch detects an irregular
heart rhythm and advises him or her to seek advice from a healthcare
provider. The app, which also provides information and resources to the
user, can be triggered to personalize that information if a care
provider confirms an AFib diagnosis or if the user isn’t engaged with
the program.
“The decision to take action is the responsibility of the
participant, but the Heartline Study app will provide additional
prompting and educational materials to help people make informed
decisions,†Gibson said.
“I’m excited about this part of the study because, as physicians,
we need to get a better handle on how often that lack of action
happens,†he added. “While it’s clear that patients often don’t take the
medicines they’re prescribed – and, in fact, often don’t even pick them
up from the pharmacy – this study could provide more solid data and
help us learn more about how often patients don’t respond to warnings
about abnormalities in their health.â€
In time, he said, researchers hope to understand more about why
people might not take part in this type of study and develop patient
engagement techniques that promote participation and reduce barriers to
care.

The use of mobile devices and wireless technology to monitor symptoms and deliver care allows physicians to make diagnoses quicker and with fewer errors
Today’s consumers don’t want to solely rely on yearly physicals or
scattered drop-in appointments to monitor their health – they are
seeking more individualized control over the way healthcare is accessed
so that they can analyze personal health data and talk to healthcare
professionals at all times.
By embracing mobile health, or mHealth, patients are able to keep
track of their own health data in real time and inform healthcare
providers of any abnormalities at the push of a button.
What is mHealth (mobile health)?
Mobile health is the monitoring and sharing of health information via mobile technology – such as wearables
and health tracking apps. The use of mobile devices and wireless
technology to monitor symptoms and deliver care allows physicians to
make diagnoses quicker and with fewer errors.
And as tech giants like Apple and Google continue pushing their way into healthcare, mHealth will likely grow in popularity.
mHealth vs telehealth
Telehealth
uses technology to extend the reach of healthcare professionals beyond
traditional clinical settings. It’s a broad term describing how the
healthcare market is taking advantage of digital development to enable
remote care.

Comparatively, mHealth is a subset of telehealth, referring
specifically to the use of mobile technology to inform and educate
consumers on healthcare. It uses mobile devices to monitor patients’
exercise, heart rate, and medication adherence.
Examples of different types of mHealth apps
Mobile health is gaining steam among consumers as Apple and Google
continue to offer an array of mHealth applications on their app stores;
there were more than 318,000 mHealth apps available for download
worldwide as of November 2017. Some of the most common categories of
mHealth apps include:
Diabetes
Pregnancy
Weight loss
Chronic illness

Benefits of mHealth app solutions
Stakeholders across the healthcare industry are looking to tap into
the mHealth opportunity as Mobile health applications are beginning to
integrate electronic health records (EHRs) and other wearable tech devices.
According to Business Insider Intelligence, nearly half of all
mHealth app publishers integrate with EHRs in order to provide a
detailed representation of a patient’s health or medical history.

Healthcare providers could reduce appointment costs by taking
advantage of mHealth applications – which lowers the risk of patient
rehabilitation. Instead of staying in a healthcare facility post
surgical discharge, patients could utilize mHealth apps for recovery
instructions and medication reminders.
Payers – which handle the financial aspects of healthcare – can also
capitalize on mHealth cost benefits. According to a 2018 Leavitt
Partners report, clinical care only accounts for 20% of health, and
social determinants account for the remainder.
Health insurance providers could develop mobile apps that provide
consumers with health education and send reminders to purchase healthy
food – keeping patients largely responsible for their own healthcare.
mHealth industry trends & technologies
One concern consumers have regarding mHealth solutions has to do with
data-sharing practices among multiple technologies and applications.
According to Business Insider Intelligence, 79% of 24 top-rated mHealth
apps shared user data with 55 entities, like app developers and third
parties.
Despite privacy concerns however, Business Insider Intelligence
predicts that as big tech companies like Apple and Samsung continue to
generate their own health features in smartphones, the adoption of
mHealth apps will continue to grow.
In fact, Apple grew wearable revenue 42% year-over-year in 2018 and has the potential to hit $15 billion in healthcare-related revenue by 2021.
