Executive Summary
• The Wearable Health Tech domain can be broadly divided into two main segments: wearable lifestyle & fitness (including fitness trackers in various forms) and personal health devices (devices that are more closely tied to medical analysis, diagnostic, and prevention)
• Brands within each segment are ranked using Google’s trend search methodology
• Within Wearable Lifestyle & Fitness, the top three brands that rank highest in web searches in the U.S. are Fitbit, Apple Watch, and Samsung Gear.
• The brands that appear most prominent within the Personal Health Devices category are Withings, iHealth, and BodyMedia.
• Brand categories likely to merge and blur in time.
Executive summary
• Wearable technology is surrounded by lots of hype and enjoys media and analyst interest. However, the category is still struggling to capture the interest of U.S. consumers in a way as to trigger mass adoption.
• Brands are actively innovating and applying for patents. Both hip startups and established conglomerates compete for the same consumers, trying to introduce technologies that are increasingly “smart”.
• Analysts predict that by 2019 a mass adoption of wearable devices is likely to occur.
• Major social and behavioral trends such as “the quantified self / family” will have a big role in driving the category. People will become increasingly aware of their body metrics as a means to improve their own wellbeing and care for their loved ones.

Industry Trends & Consumer AttitudesConsumer insights: Wearable healthtech is
relevant, but many concerns need to be addressed• 46% of Americans are interested in owning a watch or wristband type wearable tech device, with
over one-fourth specifying that they are very or somewhat interested (27%). • Glasses attract slightly less interest• Skepticism is still widely spread, with half of US consumers consider wearables to be just a fad
Sources: Emarketer, PCMagHarris Poll conducted online within the United States between September 18 and 24, 2013 among 2,577 adults (aged 18 and over).

Industry Trends & Consumer Attitudes
Industry drivers: Major behavioral & social trends likely to provide major tailwinds for the wearable market
Families will monitor their collective activities• Remote monitoring of oldest family members to ensure safety • Stress or fitness goal monitoring for parents • Entertainment experiences and safety monitoring of the youngest
Pro athletes track their metrics to gain a competitive edge• Pro teams awareness of tracking body’s stats with WT.• Consumers will gain comfort seeing pro athlete WT data
integrated on multimedia (like ESPN).• Consumer products will follow as they want to mimic their
athlete “heroes”
Wearables in the workforce• Medical professionals: Documenting surgeries, getting a second
opinion from remote specialists• Public safety workers: Obtain just-in-time critical information, monitor
safety of peers in the field • Field workers: Improve productivity, gain specialist second opinion in
the field

Wearable HealthTech Segmentation
Wearable healthtech companies belong to two categories: wearable lifestyle and fitness and personal health devices
• The dividing line is drawn based on the purpose of the device: fitness tracking or general medical indicators monitoring (glucose, ECG, blood pressure)
• Category definitions likely to blur in time, as: • most players seek to establish a wide portfolio• personal health devices tend to shift toward wear ability
• Some competitors offer products in both categories, but are assigned according to their portfolio prevalence and specialization
*The brand lists may not be exhaustive
Category Wearable Lifestyle & Fitness* Personal Health Devices*
Definition
Fitness trackers in various forms: wristbands, watches, pendants, insoles, body bands.
Purpose: track and measure daily physical activity (steps, sleep, training, movement, calories), record biometric data (heart beat, temperature, BP)
Smartphone integration for device co-ownership of app functions, such as social media notifications, search…
Includes wearable glucose monitors, ECG monitors, pulse oximeters, and BP monitors as well as non-wearable portable devices.
Wireless connectivity to both smartphone and the person’s physician, often transmitting data directly to the clinic for analysis, diagnostic, and prevention.
