BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a big trend in the construction industry. BIM captures the whole lifecycle of real estate, an industrial building or the infrastructure around it – from the scratch to the maintenance, and over the next decade. Before anyone starts to work in the real environment, the whole project is captured and designed in 3D. Every cable, every element, and even the energy consumption is figured out by a collaborative database. Of course, using VR and AR solutions to visualize the 3D models has a huge impact on the daily work of the AEC industry.
We had the chance to speak to Wolfgang Walcher, Co-Founder and CEO of Robotic Eyes and exhibitor at BIM World MUNICH 2017, the leading event for BIM and the digitization of the construction industry in the DACH region.
WT: In a nutshell – Why should we use Wearables in the construction industry?
WW: I see two areas where Wearables may provide significant benefits to the construction industry. Construction is inherently dangerous and physically demanding, very often under harsh environmental conditions. First, monitoring environmental conditions, health parameters, and overall activity may help detect unsafe conditions. Secondly, tracking location and movement of workers (as well as machinery and moving objects) allows us to sound the alarm if danger zones are penetrated. In combination, those applications of wearables could significantly increase worker wellbeing and reduce the number and severity of injuries and accidents.
WT: You are offering an AR solution for holographic visualization of 3D house designing. Along the supply chain of the building lifecycle, who can work with it and what are the benefits? In addition, from your point of view, what are we yet to see in the future?
WW: Today, Holographic Visualization and Augmented Reality are almost exclusively used in design and planning, as well as marketing and sales of real estate, predominantly for larger projects. We also see a strong demand for using our products for public outreach, presentation and communication of project plans to government officials and regulatory agencies. As technologies mature, we already see a strong demand for using our technology during construction and later for facility management purposes. With companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft investing heavily in lower-cost consumer hardware, one can expect a progression towards smaller construction projects in areas like interior design, landscaping, etc.
WT: What are you showcasing at BIM World MUNICH 2017? Where can the visitors find you?
WW: At BIM World, we officially introduce REX – the Robotic Eyes eXplorer. Rex is an end-to-end workflow for visualizing 3D plans as holograms using Microsoft one or Hololens, iPhones and Android Smartphones simultaneously. REX is free for small datasets and very affordable for commercial use. Robotic Eyes will be giving live REX demos at Stands 2-3. Visitors with REX installed on their phone will receive a free phone accessory!
Many thanks for your thoughts Wolfgang!

The World Diabetes Day (WDD) is getting closer! This day was created by IDF and the World Health Organization as an opportunity to raise awareness on the topic as well as to foster actions that may confront diabetes as a global health issue. Did you know that the WDD takes place on November 14 because it marks the birthday of insulin discoverer Dr. Frederick Banting?
Let´s celebrate together this month and the new technologies that are coming to the market soon. These latest wearables have a great potential to make the daily routine of patients with diabetes much easier!
Fitbit has now a new alliance with the diabetes management platform One Drop. This alliance will allow the user to sync their blood glucose data collected by the One Drop app with the Fitbit´s bracelet. Herein, the user will also be able to check how their sleep, heart rate metrics and physical levels affect their levels of glucose in the blood. Moreover, One Drop stresses that a new app is being developed for the Fitbit. This new app will enable the user to check their latest data both on their smartphone and on the Fitbit bracelet.
However, One Drop is not the only diabetes-related technology company that Fitbit has paired up with. Fitbit is teaming up with Dexcom, a company that develops continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices. The near-future “Fitbit-Dexcom” device will be equipped with a sensor that will detect blood oxygen levels and heart rate. The user will also be provided with a bigger picture of their glucose levels. The new product is expected to be released in 2018.
Monitoring blood sugar levels without finger pricking is becoming one of the hottest topics among diabetes researchers and wearable developers. A new technology created by Dr. Shalini Prasad – UT Dallas – assures to track blood sugar levels from sweat! The development looks like a watch that can be worn on your wrist and with a click it can tell you whether the sugar level in your blood is high or not. And the best thing is that the device costs only 7 cents! According to Dr. Shalini Prasad, this kind of technology should have a broad access to the population at a low price. Dr. Shalini Prasad´s team is now engaged with final researches so that the “wearable sweat sensor” can be found as soon as possible on the market!
Let´s hope that these new technologies keep gaining momentum! Be sure to stay tuned for the upcoming news and release dates!

WT | Wearable Technologies Australia (WTA) spoke to Dr. Ruth De Souza, Stream Leader, Research, Policy and Evaluation, Centre for Culture, Ethnicity and Health, North Richmond Community Health about the future of the wearable tech industry and some of the challenges the industry is facing.

WTA: Tell us a little bit about yourself and your journey within the wearable technology space
RDS: I am a nurse, educator and researcher by background and currently work in a unit called the Centre for Culture, Ethnicity and Health at North Richmond Community Health Centre in Melbourne. I came from Monash University to this role with an interest in translating research into practice. I was really interested in doing research in the community and being based there, so that there wasn’t such a big lag between research and knowledge implementation. Wearable tech seemed a good area to explore in a community setting where there is a high percentage of overseas-born residents (38%). Many speak a language other than English at home which has an impact on health literacy. I have been working with colleagues at the University of Melbourne and Paper Giant using “design probes” to engage women from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds in discussions about health tracking and wearable health technologies in the context of pregnancy and parenting. We started with a stakeholder forum where we explored the research issues around wearable tech and cultural diversity to develop an agenda. More recently with the the University of Melbourne we have conducted a health self-tracking week where we provided daily community education sessions on a range of topics including diabetes and nutrition and self-tracking. Before the end of the year we will be following up with interviews with trackers and asking them about the barriers and enablers to self-tracking.
WTA: Wearable Tech is the next big thing now. Where do you see the industry heading in the next 5 years?
RDS:I am interested in what changes need to be made in health care systems to really maximise the benefits of Wearable Tech. What kinds of educational preparation will the future health workforce need? How will health workers need to modify their roles from being traditional gate-keepers of information in light of the democratisation of information access? What skills will they need to support patients who are activated, motivated and informed? How will health care systems need to change so they can really make the most of patient generated health data? How will workflows and practices change in order to accommodate the new models of care that are emerging with wearable tech?
WTA: According to your expertise in the wearables space which industry do you think will be impacted most by wearable technologies in the next few years
RDS: Technology is moving faster than the health care and education industries. In order to realise the benefits of advances in wearable tech, it’s going to be crucial for the health care workforce to be well prepared educationally and to develop digital literacies both at the undergraduate level and then in terms of continuing education and training. There’s going to have to be a huge shift not just in terms of knowledge and skills, but also in terms of understanding how to be more collaborative in health care.
WTA: Do you think personal IoT has a sustainable future? Will people need more than one platform to handle all their wearable devices?
RDS: I think interoperability is a big issue. Merely generating personal health data without the capacity to have it integrated into your health care means that the potential benefits may not be realised. For this our current models of care and institutional systems need to become more agile and nimble. Many health workers are sceptical about the benefits of wearable technology and concerned about who gets to benefit from the aggregation of health data. They need reassurance about the ethical treatment of data.
WTA: What do you think is the biggest challenge within the wearable technology industry?
RDS: I think the biggest challenge is how wearable technologies can work for people who are marginalised. Working in community health as a researcher I am interested in what wearable self tracking devices mean for people who don’t fit the wealthy, worried, well and white demographic, that typically wearables are marketed to. There is an urgent need to bring people and communities into processes of information handling that are more transparent and accountable. Health workers adhere to codes of conduct and have a duty of care, I’d like to see the developers of technologies engage in more careful scrutiny and have more transparency about the uses of data. I think also that if wearable tech is to be democratised and benefit everyone then communities who are wary of surveillance must have greater control of their data and personal health information.
