Relevant videos, photos, and notes can be stored in the patient's electronic case, or in the Cloud Storage and Collaboration Services Box, which the patient can consult when needed.
Under the influence of two international technology giants, various smart watches, smart bracelets, smart glasses and so on developed by global technology companies have invaded the medical field. Domestic millet, 360, fruit shell network, etc. have begun to get involved in this field.
As an emerging industry, wearable medical devices have described unimaginable technology blueprints, such as monitoring brain data tracking emotions, health data, and more. At present, more than a dozen types of wearable medical devices have been introduced in China, such as smart thermometers, smart bracelets, and smart oximeters.

As a result, the former often chooses some entertainment-grade medical equipment, while the latter chooses professional-grade medical equipment.
It seems that the collection of medical big data through hardware and the innovative profit model represent a future direction for wearable medical devices.
ABI expects that by 2017, applications for remote patient monitoring and online professional medical care will account for 20% of the wearable wireless device market. Some analysts believe that fitness and medical wearable devices will account for 60% of the wearable device market if extended to the entire health sector.
IMS, a world-renowned medical consultancy, predicts that by 2050, one out of every five people in the world will be over 60 years old. Hypertension, late-onset diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases that need to be monitored will become the driving force for demand for wearable devices. .
