Is the era of wearable devices gone?

Electronic enthusiasts eight o'clock: Look at the list of "traveling trends of the coming year" listed in the past five years, you can always find the Internet of Things, and most of the list will emphasize the rise and growth of the wearable device market. However, this year's situation has changed: wearable devices are out, and smart homes have entered people's horizons. Pebble is in danger and has been acquired by Fitbit for $40 million. Do we really have to say that the era of wearable devices has passed?

Wearables have been the focus of the Internet of Things for many years, but there have been some changes in the past few years. It is estimated that 41.1 million smart wearables will be sold by 2020, but if you think these wearables are just basic activity tracking and message reminders, then you are wrong. The next generation of wearable devices is coming, and we call it "connected smart devices" more accurate in terms of the breadth and breadth of the problem.

At CES 2017, we saw a lot of related equipment, from intelligent detection of pregnancy to repair gloves, many connected smart devices have become more useful for the demand market, and many of them are small and difficult to detect.

Improvement of connected smart devices

In the past, the market demand for wearable devices was not high, and low-value consumer claims made it difficult to retain users for a long time (Gartner's data shows that the discard rate of smart watches is 30%). Not to mention, many of these devices cannot be popularized from earlier users to more users.

YodelUP co-founder Darius Sahebjavaher said that this is also the challenge for connected smart devices. Darius Sahebjavaher said: "People find that ordinary smart watches have no way to provide them with more value. In 2014, smart watches are cool, everyone wants to give it a try, but now it is difficult for companies to retain users. The challenge of 2017 It's about taking the wearables to the next level, which requires special research. To focus on a more accurate market, companies can truly understand and improve people's lives in specific situations."

Trackener co-founder Pauline Issard has the same idea, saying that we should shift our focus from activity tracking to comprehensive health solutions.

Pauline Issard said: "At present, most horse owners evaluate the health of horses every day and judge the horses based on intuition. This situation makes any wearable device can be used in this market."

The Trackener app can display the horses in real time.

“After further conversation with the veterinarian, we know that it is very important to track the health of the horses in real time. Our monitoring includes heart rate, activity and behavioral analysis. After comprehensive analysis of the three data, the horses can be abnormal or severe. Notify the owner of the horse when the problem arises."

Imagine using this technology on humans - devices that can warn of illnesses, such as colds, fever, or more serious illnesses. In fact, wearable devices can bring huge benefits to the medical field. Especially in specific situations, such as remote monitoring of patients, care of patients who cannot talk.

Wearables should enter the next stage

After the event, the summary is very good, but it must be fair to say that Pebble, one of the most famous wearable devices in recent years, has also faced a series of problems, not only the problem of product brand, but the most prominent problem should be the demand of consumers. In general, smart devices are turned to specific devices. Microsoft, Lenovo, LG and Huawei have all seen such a trend, thus shelving the development of smart watches.

This is the direction of Sahebjavaher and YodelUP's efforts: I am very excited about the commercial-type devices we are developing that can solve unexpected specific problems and have a good solution. For example, our goal with YodelUP is to eliminate the pain points that skiers have to remove their gloves when they can't find friends or touch equipment on the ski slopes. Like many other markets, this market is also ignored by connected devices.
