Three problems that wearable technology still needs to solve

Tencent Science and Technology Zhu Xu Winter May 6 reported this year can be said to be wearable equipment began to be widely concerned about the first one. Although the products such as Google glasses may not officially start sales until next year, but Fitbit,jawbone and other companies have developed a very mature products. Data from the Market Research Institute, ABI study, show that 2012 is about 30 million of wearable equipment shipments. This number will reach 48 million this year. Among the many wearable devices, Jawbone is one of the most watched companies, and their wrist strap up will soon enter the Chinese market. Jawbone recently acquired a similar wearable equipment company BodyMedia. As BodyMedia Investor, Comcast Venture's managing director, Michael Yang, recently wrote in the tech blog Gigaom that there are still three core issues to be addressed in companies that produce wearable equipment: 1, Accuracy and efficiency: Now wearable devices tend to have as many as three accelerators as smartphones, so an accelerator error can have a big impact on the overall situation. So, if there are more sensors, then the monitoring effect will be much better. For example, we now see a heartbeat monitoring, skin temperature monitoring and so on. But with so many sensors, it's important to think about the data, but it's also hard. When we deal with the problem of "personal health", "accurate enough" is far from enough and may even mislead the user. In the medical field, there will be a lot of careful investigation, although it looks very difficult in the wearable equipment field, but these devices still need to be more accurate. 2. Specific product patterns on specific occasions: at CES in 2013, companies came up with their own wearable equipment, wrist bands, chips, watches and even jewelry or clothing. It is obvious that the manufacturers are now experimenting with different methods. The question, then, is whether there will be a type of device in the future or a different type of device for different occasions. As the weather changes we will change clothes, so in the future we will change because of their own behavior changes in the replacement of wearable equipment? But it's important to note that people are passively recording data while using wearable devices, so there's a good chance that we'll like a device that's going to last. 3, guidance and consultation: the core of wearable equipment is to encourage people to change their living conditions and exercise more. Any body-sculpting instructor will tell students that it's hard to keep a habit of changing life. So for a single person, there is little success in losing weight. So a lot of wearable equipment manufacturers and some plastic centers have to work together to ensure that users can achieve their goals. This device + service model may become mainstream in the future. and data analysis experts can also be based on recorded data for users to propose a more direct and feasible method.
