Venture Investors Get Moving With Fitness Tech

Editor’s Note: Christine Magee is an analyst for CrunchBase.

Comment: Due to our post Hype OR Reality : (health and fitness ) WEARABLES

 only every 3rd uses his wearables, but the trend is unabated. See the last developments !

Fitness tech startups are off to the races in the second half of 2014, as venture investors seek to revolutionize the way we work out.

Seed fundings for fitness tech startups have been rising at a consistent pace, and later stage rounds recorded in the past year have boosted the aggregate amount raised to over $200 million – half of which was committed last quarter alone.
Fitbit, Basis Science, and Misfit Wearables – all wearable activity trackers – lead the way for total venture dollars raised in the past four years. Despite the dominance of these major players in the wearable fitness tracking space, the market is quickly expanding.
According to a recent PWC study, 1 in 5 Americans own at least one wearable device, and 1 in 10 use it daily. This is on par with tablet use in 2012, which has jumped to over 40% in the past two years. Jawbone just launched its latest and cheapest activity tracker, the UP Move, last week to tackle the entry-level wearable market.
And consumer use of wearable fitness tech is just the tip of the iceberg.
One Million Metrics, a participant in the current R/GA Connected Devices class, is among a handful of startups offering wearable tech for the workplace. Currently closing a deal with a large package delivery company, 1MM provides wearable devices to track the movement and posture of material handling workers.
Wearable fitness tech in the workplace provides employers with the ability to reduce the risk of injury, accurately track performance, and gamify athletic activities, such as lifting boxes, to incentivize workers.
The majority of recent venture funding for non-wearable fitness tech has gone toward consumer fitness tracking platforms like MyFitnessPal or Strava. But gym tech giant Netpulse, which has remained relatively undercover despite raising nearly $40 million in venture funding, joined the race last quarter as it raised another $19 million to tackle a less sexy side of consumer fitness.
Netpulse provides the software that powers cardio machines and is currently working with 8 out of 9 major gym equipment manufacturers. Aside from incorporating all entertainment, workout stats, and communication with other fitness trackers into a single screen, Netpulse provides the CRM system through which gyms can communicate with their members.
“Netpulse has won the war and is now fighting all the battles in relation to fitness tech inside of gyms – which is half of all minutes spent on workouts,” says Jed Katz of Netpulse investor Javelin Venture Partners. “I’m very confident that you’re about to see a digital transformation of the $76B commercial fitness industry.”
Netpulse may have a monopoly on gym workout equipment, but startups like gym membership program ClassPass, neighborhood fitness community fitmob, and incentive-based gym workout tracker Pact Fitness have cropped up with new methods of incentivizing users to work out.
“I think you need more than just tracking your steps every day – at the end of the day that data gets boring,” says Katz, who has also personally invested in New York-based indoor cycling startup Peloton Interactive, “you need more interactivity.”
“Wearables funding is seeing 50% year over year growth, but there seems to be a general shift in being more than just a fitness wearable or health tracking app,” says Halle Tecco, founder and CEO of digital health seed fund Rock Health. Tecco launched Rock Health, now one of the most active early-stage players in the fitness tech space, after working in Apple’s healthcare and medical app segment and realizing how unsophisticated these apps were compared to those in the gaming segment.
Tecco says she’s still looking for niches that haven’t been covered yet, referring to startups like PumpUp, a social network for active living geared toward women, and Kitman Labs, a sports science company building injury prevention technology for athletes.

"Spot on" Google´s X cancer nano pill

Source: Jonah Comstock

Comment : One weeek ago I posted in this blog about Google´s current eHealth developing projects.
Now you can read about some insigths concering the nano cancer pill :


 Andrew Conrad, the Google X researcher heading up the company’s recently-announced ingestible-wearable sensor platform, has shared a good deal more information about the project in an interview with BackChannel. He said he believes the project is only a few years away from viability.
Conrad said that Google has hired more than 100 people to work on the project and is working with MIT and Stanford on various aspects. He said that in the two years Google has been secretly working on this project, they’ve done nearly everything they can do in a lab. They’re going public to look for partners, but also because the human tests will be too hard to keep secret.

“We’ve done a lot, to be quite humble about it,” Conrad told BackChannel. “Enough to give us great confidence that this is all likely to work. At our Google facilities, we’ve been able to build the nanoparticles, decorate them, prove that they bind to the things that we want them to bind to, in really clever artificial systems. We’ve made these molded arms where we pump fake blood through them and then try devices to detect the nanoparticles. We’re pretty good at concentrating and detecting nanoparticles. We’re pretty good at making sure that those particles bind only to cancer cells and not to other cells.”
Conrad also spoke in more detail about how exactly the technology works. He said that the very high level goal is to change the practice of medicine to be primarily preventative rather than reactive. The way to do that is to devise a completely noninvasive way to constantly monitor for disease. 
“Some cancers have ninety percent success rate if you diagnose them in early stage one,” he said. “But most cancers have a five or ten percent survival rate if you diagnose them in stage four. We’re diagnosing cancer at the wrong time. It’s analogous to only changing the oil on your car when it breaks down. If you think of airplanes or cars or any complex entity, preventative maintenance has been proven without a doubt to be the better model. Yet for some reason we don’t concentrate on that in Western medicine. So our central thesis was that there’s clearly something amiss. So we needed to see if, with partners, we could change the system in healthcare from being reactive to proactive.”

The Google Baseline study is very closely linked with the cancer sensor project, because the nanoparticle sensors will rely on data from the Baseline study to tell normal readings from readings that predict disease. As such, participants in the Baseline study will wear prototype versions of the wearable Google X is working on for the cancer sensor.
“Nanoparticles are the smallest engineered particles, the smallest engineered machines or things that you can make,” Conrad explained. “Nature does its business on the molecular level or the cellular level. But for two thousand years we’ve looked at medicine at the organ or the organism level. That’s not the right way to do it. Imagine that you’re trying to describe the Parisian culture by flying over Paris in an airplane. You can describe the way the city looks and there’s a big tower and a river down the middle. But it’s really, really hard to opine or understand the culture from doing that.”
Instead, Google’s technology will coat nanoparticles, which are about 1/2,000th the size of a red blood cell, with chemical markers that will allow them to serve as tiny scouts; to store relevant information and transmit it back to the wearable in various ways.
“You can use these nanoparticles to detect rare things like a cancer cell or you can use them to measure common molecules. For example, in one case we put a coating on the nanoparticle that finds sodium — it’s a super common molecule but very important in renal disease. When a sodium molecule comes into the nanoparticle, it causes the nanoparticle to fluoresce light at a different color. So by collecting those nanoparticles at your wrist, where you have a device that detects these changes, we can see what color they’re glowing, and that way you can tell the concentration of sodium. In another case, by having a magnet at your wrist you can tell whether the nanoparticles are bound to cancer cells. This allows us to let these messengers walk around Paris, bring them all back to a central location, and ask them what they saw, what they did, what they encountered. And imagine that is the way in which we’re trying to understand the culture of the French.”

Ascom Launches a New Solution for Integrated Workflow Intelligence in Healthcare




Source: ehealthnews.eu

Comment :  new devices around the smartphone used technology should be reduced to the needed function. Then and only then productivity will go up. This is one possible solution.

Ascom Wireless Solutions, a global provider of mission-critical communication systems, has announced the launch of its ground-breaking mobile device, the Ascom Myco. It combines the capabilities of a smartphone with a set of features specifically designed for the healthcare environment, and especially for nurse communications and efficient management of clinical workflows.


Robust, reliable and made to last
The Ascom Myco has all the standard features of a smartphone, such as a touch screen, 3G and Wi-Fi, but in addition it has a robust design for withstanding knocks and drops, and also moisture and dust for maintaining hygiene.
The size and weight are optimized so it can be operated with one hand and is comfortable to carry around on long nursing shifts.
 
Integrated workflow intelligence in the palm of your hand
The integration software, Ascom Unite, connects with hospital information systems, patient monitors and nurse call systems. The user interface is designed to be easy to use and patient-centric. Nurses can be assigned to patients on their own device by simple ‘drag-and-drop’, giving them access to the patients’ records and lab reports and to receive automated messages, alerts and alarms for their allocated patients.

Google X developing cancer-scanning pill that transmits to a wearable sensor



3 eHealth projects Google is working on


Source : MobiHealthNews 


Remarks: We have already indicated a couple of times that the new market entrances and innovations in health care are coming more and more from technology companies and startUps outside the current health care ecosystem. There is more evident example :

1.
Google X, Google’s department of long-term “moonshot” projects, has revealed another health-related undertaking. According to the AP, the tech giant announced at a Wall Street Journal event that it is developing a smart pill that could scan for cancer and send the results to a user’s wearable sensor device.

The AP reports that the pill, which is in the early stages of research, is packed with tiny magnetic particles that can go looking for malignant cells in the bloodstream and report findings via Bluetooth to a wearable device. The team working on the system reportedly consists of doctors, including an oncologist, electrical and mechanical engineers, and an astrophysicist.

According to the BBC, the sensor’s potential isn’t limited to cancer: it could be used to detect early risk factors for heart disease or kidney disease, for example. 

2.
The last health project announced through Google X was the Google Baseline Study, which will use a combination of genetic testing and digital health sensors to collect “baseline” data on 175 healthy people. The idea is to establish genetic biomarkers relating to metabolism, response to stress, and how genes affect different chemical reactions in the body.

3.
Prior to that, Google X announced a smart contact lenses meant to monitor blood glucose levels through tears. Though the project has received a lot of press attention and is technically feasible, many in the glucose monitoring space are skeptical that Google can deliver a viable, accurate consumer product.

Google did get some credibility when Novartis subsidiary Alcon signed a licensing deal for the technology, although both companies still acknowledge the technology is a number of years away. According to the AP report, commercialization of the smart pill technology will likely take the same route.

4,7 Mio. Europeans are using connected care solutions in 2013


Berg Insight says 13.7 million Europeans will use connected care solutions in 2019
According to a new research report from the analyst firm Berg Insight, around 4.7 million people in Europe were using connected care solutions at the end of 2013. The figure refers to users of traditional telecare, next-generation telecare and telehealth solutions in the EU28+2 countries. Until 2019, Berg Insight forecasts that the number of connected care users will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.2 percent to reach 13.7 million. Traditional telecare is currently the largest and most mature of the three market segments. The next-generation telecare and telehealth market segments are in a more nascent stage but are entering a strong growth phase that is expected to last for many years to come. The European connected care industry is facing major changes that will reshape the competitive environment for solution vendors and service providers during the coming years. One of the main developments is the digitalization of telephone networks that already has started in several countries. Massive replacements of telecare equipment will be needed due to that analogue devices no longer function reliably when the PSTN infrastructure is modernized. At the same time, the market is opening up to new types of solutions that can advance the delivery of care to the next level. This includes next-generation telecare systems that support functionalities such as remote visits and video communication. “There is a strong need for solutions that enable social care and healthcare services to be delivered more cost-efficiently without compromising the quality of care”, said Lars Kurkinen, Senior Analyst, Berg Insight. He adds that this need will only grow stronger in the future as the European population structure ages and the prevalence of chronic diseases increases.

Comment : As transaction costs are decreasing for connected care , emerging markets see stronger growth in the future.
