Internet medical masters talk: people at the forefront of wearable sensor technology

Editor's Note: Steven Steinhubl, MD, became the first Internet Medical Program Director at the Scripps Translational Science Institute in San Diego in early 2013 and a practicing cardiologist in the Scripps Health System. Steven was an Air Force veteran who served in Alaska and Texas. He also served as a former director of the cardiovascular health department at Geisinger Medical Systems, and published more than 400 abstracts, peer-reviewed manuscripts, and book chapters. A few days ago, the mHealthNews website interviewed it, and the author compiled it as follows -

Q: What is the biggest driving force for Internet medical care to continue in the coming year?

A: The biggest hope for Internet medical care comes from its ability to provide better and more personalized care, but we also need strong clinical evidence to promote its development. While a large number of devices and wearable sensors offer incredible possibilities, patients, manufacturers, and healthcare payers also need evidence to prove their efficacy.

Q: Which Internet medical technology will be pervasive in the next five years? why?

A: Wearable devices that continuously monitor stress and anxiety levels may play a huge role in the future, improving the quality of life of a large segment of the population. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States, but stress and anxiety—especially when they are still in the chronic phase—are difficult to be recognized by both patients and health care providers.

Several wearable devices that have been monitored using smartphones have been developed and tested early to assess how effectively they can identify individual-specific stress responses. This technology helps people understand the prevention or control measures they are taking to cope with such stress responses while letting them know that they are experiencing stressful health risks.

Q: What are the most cutting-edge applications you have seen in this area? What innovations will we see in the near future?

A: The air will mix and match the blood in the lungs through each of our breaths, identify and measure the substances that enter the blood through breathing, and provide a possibility to completely change the diagnosis of various diseases including cancer and infectious diseases. Humans have long proven that dogs have the ability to transcend human sense of smell, and they can make judgments through the sense of smell. The early use of hand-held breathing analyzers was an attempt to replicate this ability called the "digital nose," a truly remarkable technology.

Hypertension is one of the diseases with the highest morbidity and mortality worldwide. A variety of new techniques for measuring blood pressure can significantly improve the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension. In addition, non-invasive blood glucose sensors not only help people with diabetes to better manage themselves, but also help people without diabetes to make better health decisions by choosing food.
