Summary

The buzz: Invisibles. Visible healthcare wearables like smart wrist bands and watches are commonplace. What if you prefer non-obvious tracking devices? Almost-invisible-to-invisible innovations are entering the market, hoping to gain your trust and improve healthcare outcomes. Coming soon: under-clothing heartrate tracking strips that detect and report epileptic seizures; "smart pills" that measure blood pressure, pH, body temperature; tattoo-thin strips that store health data and even deliver medications. How easy or hard is it to launch innovative health devices and gain profitable market share? The experts speak. Harry Greenspun, MD, Deloitte: Just because I have a fitness app on my phone, it doesn't make me an athlete." Scott Lundstrom, IDC: "The future is already here–it's just not evenly distributed" (William Gibson). Bernhard Schweizer, SAP: "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing" (Helen Keller).
