Wearable devices have become common for a number of applications – from fitness tracking to tracking medical parameters for people with conditions like diabetes or heart arrhythmias. The overlap between consumer and regulated medical device wearables is becoming very fuzzy, but has a bright future. In this episode, Andrew Rickman, the CEO of Rockley Photonics, discusses why wearables have taken off, the differences in consumer and medical wearables, how multi-parameter data can lead to better healthcare, the benefits of longitudinal data, the products Rockley is introducing, how medical device companies may benefit from this emerging technology, and the future of wearables.
