Americans’ use of healthcare wearables expanding rapidly, survey says

Dive Brief U.S. consumers doubled their use of wearable healthcare devices, including smartwatches, wearable monitors and fitness trackers, between 2020 and 2021, according to a new survey from AnalyticsIQ. Among wearable monitors, blood pressure devices were the most popular, used by 59% of survey respondents, followed by sleep monitors (21%) and ECG monitors (11%). Biosensors such as glucose monitors, hormone monitors, fall detectors and respiratory monitors were used by 8% of consumers in the survey, followed by use of smart clothing items at 6%. The wearable biosensors niche alone grew from $150 million globally in 2016 to $25 billion in 2021, the data analytics firm said. Dive Insight The use and variety of consumer health technology devices has increased dramatically over the past two decades. Scientists at AnalyticsIQ developed a survey to find out how people are incorporating health tech into their lives, asking about 8,000 Americans across the country ...

FDA establishes new advisory committee to provide expertise on digital health

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set up a new advisory committee to provide expertise on digital health technologies (DHTs), such as artificial intelligence, digital therapeutics and remote patient monitoring. The Digital Health Advisory Committee, which should be fully operational next year, will advise the regulator on the benefits, risks and clinical outcomes associated with the use of DHTs, as well as identify risks, barriers or consequences that could result from proposed or established FDA policy or regulation for topics related to DHTs. The committee will consist of individuals with technical and scientific expertise from diverse disciplines and backgrounds, the FDA said, to “help ensure digital health medical devices are designed and targeted to meet the needs of diverse populations”. The agency said it is currently seeking nominations of “appropriately qualified” candidates, setting an application deadline of 11 December. Jeff Shuren, director of the FDA’s Center for Devices ...

FDA Forms New Digital Health Advisory Committee to Cover Growing Role of Tech

From time to time, the FDA convenes an outside group of experts to weigh in on an experimental drug or medical device, or to offer insight on a scientific matter that raises questions. The FDA has 49 committees and panels oriented around various therapeutic areas and modalities. As regulatory submissions increasingly include digital components, the agency wants to ensure it is adequately informed about these technologies. It’s adding a digital health advisory committee charged with providing that perspective. The FDA expects the new advisory committee will become fully operational in 2024. It will discuss technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, augmented reality, virtual reality, digital therapeutics, wearables, remote patient monitoring, and software. In addition, topics covered by this new committee could include decentralized clinical trials, patient-generated health data, and cybersecurity. The committee will consist of a core nine voting members, including the chair. Members serve terms of up ...

Oura launches new social, sleep features as health tracker market continues to grow

Oura, the company behind the smart ring that allows users to track a variety of biometric data, is adding new features around social sharing and sleep tracking as the battle among tech companies to land and keep trackers on the wrists and fingers of consumers continues. The company’s new community-sharing feature, which it calls Circles, allows ring wearers to create private groups where they can share readiness, sleep, and activity scores. Oura CEO Tom Hale said that the feature is not about competition like other more fitness-focused tracking devices or platforms might offer, but instead it’s about “support and empathy.” “It’s really about sharing your data, your scores, your readiness, your sleep, with your close, intimate friends, family, your trainer, your doctor; maybe it’s a husband checking in on a wife or maybe it’s your team collecting the data comparing each other,” Hale said to CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin on ...

New machine-learning method predicts body clock timing to improve sleep and health decisions

A new machine-learning method could help us gauge the time of our internal body clock, helping us all make better health decisions, including when and how long to sleep. The research, which has been conducted by the University of Surrey and the University of Groningen, used a machine learning program to analyze metabolites in blood to predict the time of our internal circadian timing system. The study is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. To date the standard method to determine the timing of the circadian system is to measure the timing of our natural melatonin rhythm, specifically when we start producing melatonin, known as dim light melatonin onset (DLMO). Professor Debra Skene, co-author of the study from the University of Surrey, said, “After taking two blood samples from our participants, our method was able to predict the DLMO of individuals with an accuracy comparable ...
