在过去的十年中，医学科学取得了突飞猛进的发展。随着我们步入新的一年，许多人将注意力转向自己的身体健康。无论您是为了健身目标而努力，还是只是想生活得更好一点，饮食和锻炼都有很长的路要走——但医用可穿戴设备可以帮助您跟踪其他难以管理的信息，例如您的血压或水合作用水平(blood pressure or hydration levels)。
在2020 年国际消费电子(CES 2020)展上，Withings、欧姆龙(Omron)、WELT等许多公司宣布了智能可穿戴技术，无论人们的健康状况如何，它都可以帮助人们过上更好的生活。本文探讨了这种医疗可穿戴技术，以及它究竟为何如此特别。
Withings ScanWatch
Withings ScanWatch在(Withings ScanWatch)CES 2020 上(CES 2020)脱颖而出，成为最好的医疗可穿戴设备之一。它测量的数据范围惊人，包括心率(heart rate)、活动、睡眠心率(heart rate)、氧饱和度(oxygen saturation)、海拔、睡眠等。
Withings ScanWatch(Withings ScanWatch)只需每 30 天左右充电一次，使其成为年迈父母或(parent or someone)比较健忘且可能不记得自己为设备充电的人的完美伴侣。
然而，ScanWatch的真正好处是 24/7心率监测(heart rate monitoring)。如果手表检测到异常，它可以告诉佩戴者记录心电图——(EKG—the)结果可以直接在应用程序中显示。ScanWatch还(ScanWatch)可以监测睡眠呼吸暂停的迹象，并在佩戴者参与睡眠研究(sleep study)之前为他们提供早期警告。
最后，除了所有的健康功能外，ScanWatch看起来更像是一块普通的手表，而不是其他医疗可穿戴设备。这使得它对那些可能对医疗可穿戴设备有自我意识的人更具吸引力，并且它还具有许多使其值得的智能功能。
您可以像使用任何其他智能设备一样在ScanWatch内接收文本和通知。(texts and notifications)就可穿戴设备而言，ScanWatch是朝着正确方向迈出的一步。
欧姆龙 HeartGuide(Omron HeartGuide)
Omron HeartGuide是一款智能手表，也是一款血压计(blood pressure monitor)。它使用与您在当地医生办公室可以找到的相同类型的技术来测量您的血压——一种(blood pressure—an)可充气的示波血压袖带(blood pressure cuff)。这意味着它提供的读数比多合一设备更准确，并且可以为佩戴者提供医生可以用来调整药物和提出更精确建议的数据。
除了监测血压(blood pressure)，HeartGuide还跟踪日常活动、脉搏和睡眠质量。用户还会在设备上收到通常的智能通知，例如短信、电话和电子邮件。
然而，由于给袖带充气和放气所需的电量很大，因此用户每周可以为HeartGuide 充电 2(HeartGuide two)到 3 次。HeartGuide不会(HeartGuide doesn)自动充气。相反，它会提醒您何时测量血压(blood pressure)，以便佩戴者可以坐下来获得更准确的读数。
HeartGuide可在其板载内存中(HeartGuide)存储多达 100 个读数，还可以连接到HeartAdvisor 应用程序(HeartAdvisor app)以实现无限存储。对于患有心脏病(heart disease)的人来说，一致的血压(blood pressure)测量对于控制中风和心脏病发作(stroke and heart attack)的风险很重要。Omron HeartGuide可以更轻松地执行此操作，而无需每次都 设置血压袖带。(blood pressure)
WELT 智能腰带专业版(WELT Smart Belt Pro)
每年有数百万人跌倒，对于普通人来说，跌倒(fall isn)并没有那么危险。然而，跌倒对老年人或(person or someone)有其他健康问题的人来说可能是毁灭性的，尤其是当他们无法自己起床时。WELT Smart Belt Pro(WELT Smart Belt Pro)通过分析佩戴者的行走模式，在跌倒发生之前检测出跌倒的风险来对抗这种风险。
Smart Belt Pro通过腰带中的传感器提供步态分析。(gait analysis)它测量步行速度何时变得不一致并检测(inconsistent and detects)佩戴者的异常对称性。这些数据可以通过智能手机共享，以帮助护理人员监控患者。如果Smart Belt Pro检测到步态不稳定和跌倒风险增加(fall risk)，它会向用户的手机发送警告。
在内置传感器之外，Smart Belt Pro看起来就像一条普通的腰带。它由意大利皮革制成，带有银色自动搭扣。它可以适合任何服装，而不像医疗设备。
eSkin 睡眠和休息室(eSkin Sleep and Lounge)
这些“智能睡衣”虽然不是传统意义上的医用“可穿戴”，但对于年迈的父母来说是完美的单品。衣服宽松舒适，但能够检测跌倒、监测整体活动和跟踪睡眠模式。Sleep and Lounge eSkin还可以区分滑倒和跌倒以及绊倒和跌倒。
该系列有两种服装可供选择：睡衣和家居(pajamas and loungewear)服。家居服看起来更像运动服(exercise clothing)而不是睡衣，但非常适合在家中日常穿着。
Sleep and Lounge套装尚未推出，但有兴趣的人士可以在 xenoma.com 上注册以获取更多信息( xenoma.com)。
The 4 Best Smart Medical Wearables (of CES 2020)
Medical sсience has advanced in leaps and boundѕ in the preνious decade. As we step into a new year, many people turn their attentiоn toward their own physical health. Whether you are working out for a fitness goal or simply trying to live a little bit better, diet and exercisе go a long way—but a medical wearable can help you keep track of other information that can be harder to manage, like your blood pressure or hydration levels.
At CES 2020, companies like Withings, Omron, WELT, and many others announced smart wearable tech that can help people live better lives no matter their medical condition. This article examines that medical wearable technology and what exactly makes it so special.
Withings ScanWatch
The Withings ScanWatch stands out as one of the best medical wearables at CES 2020. It measures an astounding range of data, including heart rate, activity, sleeping heart rate, oxygen saturation, altitude, sleep, and more.
The Withings ScanWatch only requires a charge every 30 days or so, making it the perfect companion for an elderly parent or someone who is a bit more forgetful and might not remember to charge their device on their own.
However, the true benefit of the ScanWatch is the 24/7 heart rate monitoring. If the watch detects an irregularity, it can tell the wearer to record an EKG—the results of which can be shown directly inside the app. The ScanWatch can also monitor for signs of sleep apnea and provide the wearer with early warnings long before they participate in a sleep study.
Finally, in addition to all of the health features, the ScanWatch looks much more like a normal watch than other medical wearables. This makes it more appealing to people that might be self-conscious about the need for a medical wearable, and it also has quite a few smart features that make it worthwhile.
You can receive texts and notifications inside the ScanWatch like you could with any other smart device. As far as wearables go, the ScanWatch is a step in the right direction.
Omron HeartGuide
The Omron HeartGuide is a smartwatch that is also a blood pressure monitor. It uses the same type of technology you would find at your local doctor’s office to measure your blood pressure—an inflatable oscillometric blood pressure cuff. This means the readings it provides are more accurate than all-in-one devices and can provide wearers with data their doctors can use to adjust their medications and make more precise recommendations.
In addition to monitoring blood pressure, the HeartGuide also tracks daily activity, pulse, and sleep quality. Users also receive the usual smart notifications on the device, such as texts, calls, and emails.
Due to the amount of power required to inflate and deflate the cuff, however, users can expect to charge the HeartGuide two to three times per week. The HeartGuide doesn’t automatically inflate; instead, it reminds you when to take your blood pressure so the wearer can sit down for a more accurate reading.
The HeartGuide stores up to 100 readings in its onboard memory, but also connects to the HeartAdvisor app for unlimited storage. For individuals with heart disease, consistent blood pressure measurements are important for managing the risk of stroke and heart attack. The Omron HeartGuide makes it easier to do this without setting up the blood pressure cuff each and every time.
WELT Smart Belt Pro
Millions of people fall each year, and for the average person a fall isn’t that dangerous. However, a fall can be devastating for an elderly person or someone with other health problems, especially if they’re unable to get up on their own. The WELT Smart Belt Pro fights against this risk by analyzing the wearer’s walking patterns to detect the risk of falls before one takes place.
The Smart Belt Pro provides a gait analysis via the sensors in the belt. It measures when the walking speed grows inconsistent and detects abnormal symmetry in the wearer. The data can be shared through smartphones to help caretakers monitor patients. If the Smart Belt Pro detects an unstable gait and a heightened fall risk, it sends a warning to the user’s phone.
Outside of the built-in sensors, the Smart Belt Pro looks like a regular belt. It’s made of Italian leather with a silver, automatic buckle. It can fit into any outfit without looking like a medical device.
eSkin Sleep and Lounge
While not a medical “wearable” in the traditional sense, these “smart pajamas” are the perfect item for an elderly parent. The clothing is loose and comfortable, but capable of detecting falls, monitoring overall activity, and tracking sleep patterns. The Sleep and Lounge eSkin can also differentiate between slipping and falling and tripping and falling.
There are two clothing options in this collection: pajamas and loungewear. The loungewear looks more like exercise clothing than pajamas, but are great for everyday wear around the house.
The Sleep and Lounge set hasn’t been launched yet but interested parties can sign up for more information at xenoma.com.
