Under Armor is one of the new IBM Watson IoT Partnerships among with Bragi whose CEO&Founder Nikolaj Hviid spoke at the WT | Wearable Technologies Conference 2015 Europe.

IBM invested a historical amount of money in the new Era of Cognitive IoT. It’s not a hype it’s happening right now!

Horst Merkle is up on stage to moderate the next session about Healthstyle : A holistic approach to healthcare.

Marie McCarthy opens this session with Wearable devices in Clinical Trial. One of the hardest things is to get volunteers to join the Clinical Trials and have Patient Engagement.

Wearables will need to be at least water resistant you can go on with your life as usual and have a rechargeable battery. Data Management is also important, we don’t want a lot of data we want valuable data.

Now Daniel Shen from Eargo is next. A device to help people with hearing loss. People look for comfort, natural sound, almost invisible and easy of use when using a device to hear better. A tiny device which is almost invisible.

The ear is an excellent place to get signals so imaging the possibilities for the future!

Keith Errey from Isansys Lifecare explains Wearables in Critical Care. Isansys focuses on patients that are in Critical Conditions, they need to be monitored continuously and they want to reduce the length of the stay of them at the hospital but still monitor them from their homes with wearables.

The Isansys Lifetouch is a device that is comfortable for nurses, single use and low cost. Nurses don’t want to recharge batteries or worry about technology.

Sonia Sousa is closing this session from Kenzen. Monitoring our health is difficult and it is not getting any easier. Kenzen collaborates with NASA,hospitals in Europe and some football teams among others. Their disposable sensor patch is disposable and last for a week. Calorie monitoring and and real time hydration.
