When will health monitoring integrate to life?

　Society5.The realization of a Japanese society, which has become a preventive medicine and health promotion aimed at in 0, requires a virtuous cycle of (1) data measurement, (2) data analysis, and (3) data utilization.The "health visualization" mentioned in the second installment of this series corresponds to (3), and has stated the signs of solutions that evaluate their health in an easy -to -understand manner and give incentives to maintain health.

　（1）と（2）は、その前提として必須となる技術開発に位置づく。信用性の高いデータを、分析・評価に効果的なタイミングで測定し、分かりやすく結果を返す技術があってこそ、データ活用が進み、個人への意識づけにも繋がる。第3回となる本稿では、（1）と（2）に該当するウエアラブルデバイス^＊1の進化による生活の変化を述べる。

* 1 Wearable device means a computer device attached to your wrist, head, etc.Smartphones are not corresponding to communication equipment terminals, but are integrally discussed in this paper as a major impact on the spread of wearable devices.

　The practical use of wearable devices in the healthcare area has a significant effect on the spread of smartphones.As the smartphone eliminates public telephones, it has become an alternative to a personal computer, and contributed to the transition to a cashless society, wearable devices have always been measured over 15 years., It has spread the style of carrying easily.

　Fitbit, a wristband -type pioneer, was founded in 2007 when Apple launched the iPhone.In 2021, he became a subsidiary of Google, and has entered a phase of medical and health solution expansion competition based on wearable devices due to the two forced smartphone OS.

　The ECG sensor and blood oxygen concentration measurement on the latest device also focused on the possibility of utilization in home medical treatment of new colon viral infections.The Stanford University School of Medicine collected and analyzed data from multiple wearable devices, including AppleWatch and Fitbit, for the purpose of detecting new colonavirus infections.

　その結果、新型コロナウイルスに感染し、症状が悪化する1週間前から生体シグナルにその兆候が確認できることが分かった^＊2。測定されるデータの精度が高まり、利用者も常に手首に装着して生活している状況が整ったことで、データに価値が出て、利用者への健康アドバイス機能も高度になっている。
