It’s not a reach to say that healthcare and startup companies are working hard to monitor every piece of your health remotely. Everyone sees the potential of having access to your healthdata in an ongoing basis in order to assess deterioration of your health or even recovery from a disease or surgery.
That speaks to Steve’s phrase, “ecosystem of ecosystems,” because that’s not just “digital” health — that’s now the true nature of health/care, and what is driving connectivity toward interoperability, cloud computing, and the adoption of APIs to enable healthdata liquidity.
Six in ten people are open to health and wellness services via virtual channels, over half like the idea of remote monitoring linking with at-home devices, and 1 in 2 people would be open to routine appointments through telehealth. Nearly one-half would also be keen on mentalhealth appointments and specialty visits for chronic conditions.
Given the range of signals covered by the devices, the insights could uncover issues into heart health, sleep health, nutrition, and fitness… which would further evolve with new sensors and devices added into the Withings healthdata ecosystem.
Telehealth in the pandemic was, in Philips’ words, “crucial but underused” Interoperability is still an obstacle, and, Digital technology will be pivotal in the next few years.

Then we moved into platforming and how we can actually start to build out platforming technologies to integrate everything from interoperability to interconnected solutions with downstream partners. Now the next thing is utilizing this, for example our own products for behavior and mentalhealth for certainty.
On the surface, the apparent lack of anonymity may be unnerving, but it comes nowhere close to the pervasiveness of medical software that collects the most private forms of information about one’s biology and health records. However, why would interoperability be desired when the underlying cybersecurity of these systems is inexistent?
This technology combines sensors and textiles to create garments that monitor vital signs and other healthdata. These technologies can be used for pain management, surgical training, and even for treating mentalhealth conditions. Another challenge is ensuring patient privacy and data security.
Can we trust it with our sensitive healthdata? While Amazon’s recent focus on health has caught the attention of observers, its interest in the sector is far from new.
