Wearable Fitness Technology : Techmark

In terms of the Fitbit marketing strategy, in the past year the products have become more personalized with various wrist bands, watch faces, and styles for their consumers to choose from. Fitbit has added more character to their products in hopes of fighting off their competitors, such as Apple. A plethora of competitors are becoming increasingly popular and are approaching Fitbit. The consumer perception when it comes to the various appearances that Fitbit has recently introduced may increase because of the efforts the brand puts into

Wearable technology mainly identifies the incorporation of technology in regular accessories that will impart greater easiness in boring activities. In the past days, the Wearable technology has been centered at the wrist, but just lately conversation has broadened to your clothes (Yahoo/Levi's Project Jacquard) and footwear like the Nike E.A.R.L. The near future is enjoyable and filled up with possibilities. There were considerable advances in neuroscientific wearable technology. Many breakthroughs have been made that have made our day-to-day life easier. Anyone who's acquainted with the fashion tech knows the new smartwatches which were released. This technology is designed to provide us faster usage of our technology, in that way saving commitment.

As consumers utilize smartphones, tablets, and other devices for other functions like social media and email, they are starting to look at these features to assist them with their healthcare. Mobile body area network devices will be a growing trend in the coming years as a way to get patients engaged in their healthcare and also to give providers routine updates on the status of patients with chronic conditions. As DeGaspari (2014) indicates, these devices can lead to improved functionality for other devices used in hospitals, such as sensors for monitoring patients that might get up and wander or be a fall risk. Telemedicine will continue to grow as payers, providers, and patients all start to realize the mutual benefits that can be

In its earlier years UA expanded significantly with new product lines including TurfGear, AllseasonGear, and StreetGear. These launches success helped to catapult UA to the forefront of the emerging performance apparel industry. Their innovation and savvy have given them a leg up on competitors including Nike and Addidas. There have been hints of some new product launches to come in 2017. UA wants to continue to be a competitive player in the health and fitness gadget and wearables market. These gadgets include “Healthbox”, a fitness tracker with a heart-rate strap and smart scale. These devices are intended to be used with their smartphone app, which is also compatible with other fitness tracking devices. Later on, the company added heart rate monitoring headphones to the family of devices, as well as the Speedform Gemini 2 RE smart running shoes which have a built in ability to track your runs (Jovin, 2016). This healthbox product has not received a grand reception from consumers but there is a lot of potential for this product line. For the sake of the report I will research and report on a product line that recently came out. The ColdGear product line. These clothing items claims to disseminate heat by using ceramic powder and re-circulates around the wearers

The objective of this paper is to introduce an extensive review of the Fitbit product evolution and marketing strategy as it relates to consumer demand and gained revenue. The Fitbit Tracker, released in December 2009, was the first of many Fitbit products. The latest models include the Fitbit Blaze, Fitbit Aria smart scale, Fitbit Alta, Fitbit Surge, Fitbit Charge, and the Fitbit Flex.

Patient wearables offer an excellent example of this new doctor/patient partnership. Patients can not only be monitored by their physicians, they can monitor themselves as wearables present not only data concerning heart rate and blood pressure, but personal information regarding everything from diet to the quality of last night’s sleep. This brings the patient into the loop and encourages him or her to take more responsibility.

This research proposal explores scholarly journals, internet articles, and my personal thoughts and ideas on the smartwatch, fitness band, and wearable market segment. I am proposing to obtain research on whether or not the Microsoft Band among other smart wrist wearables are currently and, if so, will continue to be desirable technological advancements in the market.

Prior to the introduction of activity tracking devices, individuals who were concerned with weight management or a healthy lifestyle would join gyms. Fitbit has made it possible for people to keep track of their wellness by determining the number of steps one takes, identify sleep patterns, and celebrate exercise milestones accomplished. Fitbit products reduce the time constraint, providing users with instant access to their fitness dashboard either directly from their phones or a computer. Fitbit users find it convenient to use the fitness tracker because it is easily worn around the wrist as an accessory or clipped to a particle of clothing.

The purpose of this essay is to investigate the validity and function of the Apple Watch’s fitness features. This will be determined in two ways. Firstly, the ability of the Apple Watch’s to promote a healthy lifestyle will be reviewed. Secondly, its ability to accurately measure and quantify this lifestyle will be analyzed.

A procedure that in the past ten years with technology and advancements in medicine is now considered a routine outpatient procedure. Not long ago, people started wearing wristbands that recorded the number of steps they took, their heart rates and sleep cycles. But if the now-ubiquitous bands and accompanying apps that stored biorhythms started out as novelties, they paved the way for a new generation of gadgets that have become serious tools to improve health care delivery and outcomes. These newfangled contraptions will change how and where care is delivered and will enable providers to stay continuously connected with patients wherever they may be — or at least connected to the devices that indicate whether a patient is abiding by prescription

Energy companies have transitioned to smart grids, technology that allows them to measure and monitor and control energy usage from afar to gain efficiencies and eliminate waste. Televisions can be used in exercise routines, they can track progress and estimate calories burned. Medical customer engagement technology has not evolved as quickly as other industries. There are a myriad of lifestyle technology currently on the market, blood pressure monitors, weight scales, glucose monitors that send result electronically to applications. Through the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, we should see tremendous improvements. Patients will be able to upload information from these applications directly to their health portal. We will even advance to video doctor visits through our smartphones, which will be the ultimate in patient engagement, creating real time communication between patient and provider, not when a patient can get to a provide The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act will be viewed as one of the most successful and meaningful pieces of

Fresh of the IPO diving block, Fitbit Inc. shares have since soared, more than doubling in price at its peak. The company pioneers an industry of wearable technology, being one of the first to develop and manufacture wearable, fitness trackers. Their products allow users to monitor basic health statistics, such as calories burned and distance walked. Their products also track some unique metrics, such as active minutes and stairs climbed. Fitbit also manufactures the Fitbit Surge, a more complex fitness tracker, but with added abilities comparable to smartwatches. Furthermore, Fitbit offers a premium, subscription based service that allows users to enhance their experience with more insight and analysis on the data collected by the trackers.

Expected technological advancements in health products are likely to contribute to greater spending on health. The FitBit as a technological health device shall greatly meet local consumer’s needs.

Technology is obviously a critical component of this business: it will be important to stay up to date on both equipment and knowledge to remain competitive in the future

As Interim President of Futaris, I was tasked with providing highly technical information to the board of directors.
