Wearables, Biometrics and Mindfulness as Medicine

Joe BurtonWhil

Leadership (SIYLI), Education , Research Mindfulness as medicine rather than as raising consciousness

Mindfulness applied for improved mental wellbeing, emotional intelligence and situational awareness -performance Neuroscience- based mindfulness training

Presenteeism Mind wandering, distraction awareness, re-oriented awareness Build muscle memory to focus #stress is the biggest factor

Pace of change : robotics globalization, espionage, outsourced innovation Extreme stress requires resiliency which can be helped with mindfulness, central nervous system

resilience reduced by repeated recovery


Electronics for Behavioral Health

Jim DoscherAnalog Devices

behavior change is hard How do electronics make a difference: clinical accuracy, Small, Long battery life

Long battery life key! Charging gets in the way of habit forming behavior of wearables testing units for sensors i.e. spectrometer (nutritional measurement)

Get off the wrist Maybe don’t engage with it everyday. maybe it checks in with us.

batteries not following moore’s law never take it off (like a tattoo + emotional impact)


Clothing - among other data: Ventilation measured in a non-invasive, open API Hard to train a neural-network when data is on paper

Clinical grade data when people are healthy How do we get the data we need to do AI in healthcare?

Consumer devices with clinical grade data is still a challenge Digital foundation stuck between (1) record and (2) transmit. need (3) reporting/intelligence, (4)

forecasting/prediction and (5) Automotated Health services/AI choice between fashionable or invisible (discrete)

Heart Failure patients: shirt with activity, heart and respiration sensor for at-home cardiac rehabilitation (machine washable)

Wearapeutics, NeuroTech, MetabolicTech, Implantables and the Future of Better Living

Benjamin JoffeHAX

Investing in hardware startups Whole food for thoughts —> what are good influencers for your behavior

More barriers: wear, ingest, impact, non-contact? Sensor cost, on-boarding process.. Define “standard" for wellness

devices mostly focused on sickness rather that wellness have to have a strong pain-point for adoption

A lot of innovation and technology is a result of solving extreme cases Body and Mind: Prevent, Track, Heal, Re-train
