This presentation will look to review the current healthcare use cases and discuss how body worn vital sign data collectors will make a major disruption to the hospital/clinical market and enable the user/consumer to own a more personalized healthcare monitoring system in the future. It will review key body vital signs that can be collected by skin patches or wearables and key metrics for these products, plus how advances in semiconductor technologies are enabling these products. The requirement of actionable insights will be raised for these new wearable skin patches and some consideration of barriers these products have - other than technical - into the healthcare flow will be reviewed.
