Disclosures HOW WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY AND TELEMEDICINE WILL CHANGE YOUR PRACTICE I wish I had some! Renee P. McLeod PhD, APRN, CPNP, FAANP Dean, College of Nursing United States University rmcleod@usuniversity.edu Learning Objectives Upon Completion of this session the participant will be able to: 1. Discuss the wearable wireless medical device revolution 2. Provide 2 examples of applications of these devices as they apply to a pediatric practice in both the ambulatory or in-patient setting. 3. Discuss how telemedicine may impact their practice. Are you prepared To deal with a continuous flow of data from your patients 24 hours a day in real time? To understand how to manage devices that are using predictive algorithms? To have clothes that are sending information about you out to others? The growth of wearable technology ABI Research has projected that by 2016 wearable wireless medical device sales will reach more than 100 million devices annually and to exceed $ 2.9 billion in sales. The market for wearable sports and fitnessrelated monitoring devices is projected to grow as well, reaching 80 million device sales by 2016. Why the growth? There is increasing clinical evidence of the value of continuous physiological data in managing chronic diseases and monitoring patients' post hospitalization, as a result, a growing number of medical devices are becoming wearable, including glucose monitors, ECG monitors, pulse oximeters, and blood pressure monitors." 1

WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY: A NEW LAYER OF SECURITY? Technology in clothing or on an ID badge will play a big role in security, surveillance, and disaster-relief operations in the future ID badges are available to keep track of military or first responders by transmitting location and identifying information to a central database "Wearables will be the single most controversial technology in the next decade." After all, wearables integrate technology with the one thing most of us never leave home without: clothing What about ethics and privacy? Are we prepared as a society to have our data out there for anyone to access? These are questions that are just now being asked in a world of Google (that just turned in a child pornographer), Facebook and Instagram DEVICES IN USE NOW FOR THE INPATIENT SETTING SAVE TIME, MONEY AND PROVIDE BETTER PATIENT OUTCOMES INTELLIVUE MX40 DEVICES FOR USE BY THE PUBLIC NOW 4
