From Wearables to Careables: Closing Loop in Connected Health

What if we could combine vital sign sensing capabilities with smart algorithms and actuation features in order to not only diagnose but also fix a problem?

The best-known example of an autonomous and closed-loop therapy device is a pacemaker.    Second in line, although not yet commercially available, are intelligent insulin pumps. With artificial intelligence, and miniaturized sensors and actuators, the ingredients are there to shape a future with a multitude of closed-loop systems for remote, preventive and curative healthcare.   Think of medical-grade wearables measuring blood pressure and assisting in finding the right dose of blood pre...
