Apple smart watch is the main health card, iWatch hints at new trends

Around the rumored American Apple watch-type wearable terminal "iWatch", related reports have recently become more and more. The US "Wall Street Journal" disclosed four new news from iWatch in late June.

The message is as follows:

(1) Equipped with more than 10 sensors to detect user health and fitness data

(2) According to the user's preference, a variety of terminals of different sizes are prepared.

(3) Taiwan Quanta Computer began mass production from 2 to 3 months later

(4) Time to market is 2014 autumn

Before the Wall Street Journal released a report, a number of overseas media cited a report from Reuters in mid-June, saying that iWatch is expected to enter mass production in July. The reports also revealed that the production will be Taiwan Quanta Computer.

Reuters said that iWatch's display will be the same as the current "iPod nano" with a diagonal of 2.5 inches, which is larger than the 1.3-1.5 inches mentioned in the past. The screen is close to a rectangle and the dial is slightly arched over the strap section. A sensor with a touch interface and pulse detection for wireless charging.

According to reports, Apple's watch-type wearable terminal will use a curved organic electroluminescence (EL) touch panel with functions such as collecting calorie consumption, sleep recording, blood oxygen level, blood sugar level and other data.

So far, Apple's watch-type terminal has seen newspapers many times, and as the above detailed information is gradually made public, the existence of products has become more and more real.

The first generation of the Apple iPad tablet "iPad" was launched in April 2010. If the above report is true, it will be the company's new type of product after four and a half years.

The supply of wearable terminals is about 1% of smartphones.

Companies such as Sony Mobile Communications, South Korea’s Samsung Electronics and Pebble Technology have begun to develop watch-type wearable terminals that are known as smart watches. Sony launched the smart-type activity meter "SmartBand SWR10" in May. In 2014, Samsung launched the second-generation smart watch "Samsung Gear 2" "Samsung Gear 2 Neo" and the wristband-type terminal "Samsung Gear Fit" dedicated to health management.

On the Google Developer Conference "Google I/O" held recently, the Korean LG Electronics "G Watch" with the wearable terminal OS "Android Wear", Samsung "Gear Live", and the US Motorola "Moto 360" appeared on the scene. .

However, the survey data of the US ABI Research quoted by The Wall Street Journal shows that the supply of wearable terminals from January to March 2014 was only 2.9 million units, including activity meters. Only about 1% of smartphone shipments during the same period.

Analysts at Forrester Research in the US also said that no large companies have officially entered the field of wearable terminals. Under this circumstance, the industry has turned its attention to Apple, which has won success in the new category with the iPhone and iPad. It is hoped that the company will once again make a huge revolution after entering the market.

Committed to blood sugar level monitoring, the market size will exceed 12 billion US dollars in 3 years

In addition, the key to success seems to be in the hands of the health field. It is believed that the use of wearable terminals and other services to collect health and fitness-related data and apply them to many APPs will be the future force.

For example, at the World Developers Conference (WWDC) held in early June, Apple released the "HealthKit", a mechanism for collecting data and sharing data from fitness equipment and health management apps, and the "Health" app for managing iOS.

Google also released the same health management platform "Google Fit" at the developer conference. Samsung released "SAMI (Samsung Architecture for MulTImodal InteracTIons)" before Google and demonstrated the use of SAMI's demo ring-type wearable terminal "Simband".

In the above-mentioned health-related data management field, the most concerned is the monitoring of blood sugar levels.

According to reports, "Apple's iWatch will be equipped with blood glucose detection function," the US "Forbes" said, "Now no wearable terminal manufacturer has found a way to non-invasively detect blood sugar levels, if iWatch can be achieved, against Apple It will be a good opportunity."

Many non-invasive blood glucose test methods are now under investigation. For example, Google released the "Smart Contact Lens" project in January 2014. The purpose is to use a contact lens type device to detect blood sugar levels based on the sugar content in the tears and to perform continuous monitoring.

Google explained that many people with diabetes did not test as often as required because of the pain associated with blood collection by finger multiple times a day. And through this project, the company will try to solve this problem.

Reuters reported that by 2017, the global blood sugar test market will grow to more than $12 billion. According to Reuters, there are as many as 29 million people with diabetes in the United States. The economic burden in 2012 was as high as $245 billion, an increase of 41% over the past five years. In order to detect blood sugar levels, most patients have acupuncture fingertips 10 times a day.

Reuters quoted sources as saying that around the wearable technology such as smart watches, companies such as Apple, Samsung, and Google are exploring applications that make them a necessity, thus getting rid of rare and rare impressions. As a result, companies are now turning their attention to blood glucose level monitoring.

iWatch's debut suggests Apple's movement

In early 2014, the US "New York Times" said that Apple executives met with officials of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December 2013 to discuss "mobile medical applications."

Regarding the purpose of the meeting, the New York Times gave speculation that it may be that Apple wants to clarify the regulatory guidelines for medical devices and APPs, and it may be that Apple has the deficiencies of FDA regulation.

Apple's attendees included Jeff Williams, senior vice president of operations, Budd Tribble, vice president of software technology, and Michael O'Reilly, who was hired by Apple in 2013 from medical technology company Masimo.

Masimo is a company that develops medical devices that non-invasively detect biological data. Known as a blood oxygen level detector.

In 2013, Apple hired the former CEO of the French haute couture brand Yves St Laurent Group. Apple CEO Timm Cook served as a director of Nike in the United States, and the company also used the 2013 figure to develop the sports bracelet "FuelBand" in Nike.

A series of newcomers, meetings with the FDA, "HealthKit" published at WWDC, and trademark registration for "iWatch". In addition, CEO Cook and Executive Vice President Eddy Cue "sent a new type of product during the year", in the eyes of overseas media, confirmed that iWatch debut is ready.
