Karten Design has been studying the emergence of "Wireless Health," and they have composed an infographic that gives a high-level overview of the opportunities and challenges involved in the wireless health space.
Today's wireless telecommunications technology is transforming the healthcare industry, allowing both doctors and patients to gather real-time information from body sensors and smart phone apps. From clinical to consumer devices, the last few years have seen the introduction of wireless, connected products that can help people manage diabetes and heart disease, or even achieve personal health objectives like losing weight, sleeping better or getting pregnant. Karten Design believes that design can and should play an active role in the development and mainstreaming of wireless health devices - creating products that meet real user needs with easy to use solutions.
