Wearables: Redefining Healthcare

 

Thrive Wearables aim to deliver exponential gains in health and well being for huge numbers of people. Our amazing team of technologists, designers and creative thinkers work closely with collaborative partners and clients to deliver world changing wearable technology products and digital services. We design, develop and deliver wearables across the entire product cycle to solve problems in the healthcare and well being space.

 

 

Digital Biomarkers: How do we get the quality real-world datasets we need for effective clinical trials?

Despite the wave of digital innovation in pharma and the need for real world data and de-centralised trials, the use of wearables and the adoption of digital biomarkers is still relatively low. There is great potential for wearables to increase the quality and quantity of trial data, to exploit novel endpoints and to improve patient engagement and retention. We examine the reasons for the slow uptake and identify effective approaches to improving adoption.

How will technology improve mental health?

At no time in history has society experienced a greater depth of both connection and disconnection simultaneously. In an internet connected, COVID ravaged world, amid political chaos, people are experiencing the perfect storm of stress and anxiety. How can technology contribute to creating light at the end of the tunnel?

Hearables: Are we approaching transformative health monitoring?

Ear based technologies are not new, but we are on the cusp of a revolution in therapeutic technologies based in the ear. With a very strong precedent set by those who use ear based technology to listen to music and a trend towards breaking the stigma of hearing aid use, sensor enabled devices are going to be mainstream in a few years. We talk to experts in the field and explore what this means for health.

Muscle Stimulation for rehabilitation and recovery

From marginal gains in sports to major improvements in injury rehabilitation, stimulation of muscles is hitting the big time. There is a huge range of applications and some very impressive approaches to combinational and targeted solutions for health improvement. Our panel discuss the state of play and the opportunities for our health.

Learning to sleep in a world turned up to 11

Daily sleep goes down and so does our health. Simple - sleep more! In today’s society, we are not sleeping enough, but there are now many established and emerging approaches to solving this. Sleep science is being applied to consumer solutions to this most fundamental health problem.
