Large volumes of raw data with no insight may actually hinder adoption of wearables and digital health technologies. Arundhati ParmarThere's one thing that developers of any new technology, and especially clinical wearables technology must avoid doing. Create technology for technology's sake. On the contrary, what is truly valuable and needed in understanding how to treat the patient better is to be able to answer the question, 'So What?"That was the advice of Ran Via Celine Sportisse

Patients' insights: "More recently, Bridges said that in reviewing how asthma patients were using the Asthma Help app at Icahn, he noticed that many were just taking out their iPhones during a visit to the doctor's office and showing their phone to the doctor. That prompted LifeMap to modify the app to enable users to just push a button, thereby launching a dashboard that displays all the pertinent information for the doctor."

There are now more than 165,000 mobile health apps available in the U.S., yet most continue to have limited functionality and barriers remain for connecting mHealth app data to providers’ clinical data, which hinders full adoption of mHealth into healthcare management, according to the findings of an IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics study. According to the IMS Institute’s recently released report about consumer-focused mHealth apps, the number of mHealth apps has nearly doubled in the past two years and almost a quarter of consumer apps are now focused on disease and treatment management, while two-thirds target fitness and wellness. Mental health apps led among disease specific apps, followed by diabetes. For the study, researchers drew on IMS Health’s AppScript Score database and analysis of 26,864 apps available in the U.S. The study found that app connectivity has become a major focus for app developers, with one in ten apps now having some capability to connect to a device or sensor. This connectivity provides biofeedback and physiological function data from the patient and greatly extends the accuracy and convenience of data collection, according to the IMS Institute study. As part of the study, the IMS Institute also interviewed healthcare provider executives on the role and status of healthcare apps. Via Giuseppe Fattori
