It has been interesting to watch health-related technology solutions accelerate over the last few years. Much of this has been driven by the smartphone and the bar that it raised in terms of our expectations with many products. The smartphone also contributed to helping commoditize many technological components making them affordable for companies to begin to integrate into their products. In my opinion, we can also attribute some of health tech’s momentum to wearables, and the Apple Watch. Now that the tech industry understands consumers are interested in using technology to monitor and track their health, they have awoken to the market opportunity.
