  3. CONTENTS • EVOLUTION • OVERVIEW • PROMISES AND POTENTIAL • REALITY • ANALYSIS • CONCLUSION • REFERENCES

  4. EVOLUTION OF ST-WBS • Challenge to minimize the loss of human life on the battle field • DARPA funded research carried out at Georgia Institute of Technology • Sensate Liner for Casualty Care : First wearable motherboard / intelligent garment • Smart Shirt : Versatile framework for sensing, monitoring and information processing devices

  5. ST-WBS : An Overview The unit operations associated with the system are : • Sense/Observe • Process/Transmit • Interpret/Diagnose • Respond/Learn

  6. Promise and Potential of ST-WBS • Smart Shirt opened up entirely new frontiers in civilian healthcare and telemedicine • The healthcare industry’s challenge is to balance cost containment with maintenance of desired patient outcomes. • A demand for portable, versatile medical devices • Smart Shirt enables the physician to interact effectively, efficiently, and continuously with any patient at anytime

  7. To enhance the quality of life for individuals • Provides a natural interface • Offers a sense of security • To transform healthcare monitoring and delivery as is being currently practiced • “Doing well by doing good”

  8. Reality • Since 1990 considerable amount of research has been going on in this field • The European Commission (EC) has been a major source of funding research in this area • More than 35 EC projects with an approximate total funding of €60 million (1999 – 2002) • These projects follows 2 complementory approaches : Application Pull Technology Push

  9. Major prototype systems and applications include : • Continuous measurement and control of glucose concentration in subjects • Personal ECG monitoring for early detection and management of cardiac events • A wrist multi sensor device for continuous monitoring of health status and alert • A personal mobile health service platform for vital signs monitoring based on body area network • An ambulatory bio-sensing microsystem for continuous evaluation of organ feasibility

  10. In the area of ST-WBS, the EC has funded projects that have led to the following key developments. • VTAMN • WEALTHY • MagIC • MyHeart

  11. According to Venture Development Corporation, the global market for Wearable biophysical monitoring systems is expected to grow to $265 million by 2007 • A robust textile-based wearable biomedical system is yet to enter the marketplace • To realize its initial goal of enhancing the quality of life for individuals • The transition from research to reality has been rather painfully slow

  12. Analysis Technology Success Factors The success of any product in the market depends on : • Its effectiveness in successfully understanding the user’s needs and meeting them • Reduction in the cost of current solutions or technologies it aims to supplant • Improvement in the quality of service • Enhancement of the user’s convenience.

  13. In addition , the adoption of an innovative product is affected by the following factors : • Relative Advantage • Compatibility • Complexity • Observability • Trialability

  14. Analysis of the Major Facets The first step in the analysis is to frame a set of questions that must be addressed from the various viewpoints : • Articulation of Need • Clinical Effectiveness of the Technology • Cost-Benefits Analysis • Enhanced Convenience • Improvement in Quality of Care

  15. Result of Analysis • It has been explored that each of the facets related to the transition of ST-WBS from research to the marketplace • All the facets and the stakeholders must come together for the ST-WBS technology to become a reality in the marketplace

  16. A Plan Of Action • The critical step in transitioning ST-WBS to the marketplace is to demonstrate the overarching “value” of the technology Demonstration of Value of ST-WBS: The three essential steps to demonstrate the value of STWBS are : • Establish the robustness of the various components of the ST-WBS and finalize system • Demonstrate the clinical effectiveness of ST-WBS • Conduct a holistic cost–benefit analysis

  17. A Call To Action • The venture engaged in enhancing the quality of life for individuals by delivering such systems to the market can indeed be profitable in the long run • The successful realization of the technology requires the integration of multiple building blocks of technologies and expertise • It calls for a bold commitment on the part of the commercializing entity to bring these seemingly disparate organizations together and make it happen

  18. Conclusion • The challenge to minimize the loss of human life on the battlefield turned out to be the trigger for the birth of ST-WBS • An ST-WBS fulfills need by enabling the physician to interact effectively, efficiently, and continuously with any patient at anytime, and who might be anywhere • Despite the promise and potential , an ST-WBS is yet to enter the marketplace

  19. All the facets and the stakeholders must come together for the ST-WBS technology to become a reality in the marketplace • It calls for a bold commitment on the part of the commercializing entity to bring these seemingly disparate organizations together and make it happen • A visionary approach coupled with operational excellence is indeed needed to transition the ST-WBS technology from research to reality
