Apple's iWatch Over Hyped: Just a Week Away From Release
The Apple iWatch Focuses Mainly On Health Care
Apple iWatch which has long eluded the media is rumoured to be released on Sept. 9, 2014.
According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) market research the iWatch will sell 19.2 million in 2014. The research states that this would three times of what it sold last year. Apple will successfully market around 60 million iWatches in its first year of release said Morgan Stanley.
The health care industry is going through a revolutionary change with many companies wanting to make health care device but have all failed to do so. This is because of the accuracy and the intricacies of the health care sector.
But Apple claims that the device will revolutionize personal fitness and health care industry. With the iWatch's pairing features it can be synchronized with the iPhone and healthkit software and will continuously monitor the health of a person. It will collect and send the information to a medical provider.
An Apple investor at the SeekingAlpha.com said that the iWatch will make personalization of health care on a large scale.
If it will affect the health care sector it will be very successful in sales. Health care is a very complicated industry many firms have promised to change the industry but have failed to do so.
Lauren Goode writes for Re/code according to her the Apple iWatch is hyped to mythical proportions not only that she goes on to add, there is no certainity that it will be called iWatch.
The Apple iWatch focuses mainly on health care but there are reasons to be cautious.
The iWatch will send health data to doctors and with the healthkit the data collected will be directly sent into the patients EPIC health records. Most of the data are not needed by the doctors. This gadget would be beneficial for people who exercise on a regular basis to monitor their heart rate.
The information that is sent to a health provider should be accurate and rumours state that the developers are still in the process of searching for alternatives to find a way to listen to blood flow and the ways to predict heart attacks.
"Developing a bonafide medical breakthrough device in such a compressed timeframe runs against all notions of plausibility," writes Heisler
Last but not the least consumers will get bored with wearing the iWatch. People who benefit from the device may buy it, but getting consumer who would constantly wear a device would be difficult.
In the recent past many firms have ventured into the health care industry but have failed miserably.
For Apple iWatch to make a big impact on the health industry they have to venture deeper and find answers for all the problems that this technology will face and set themselves apart from the others in the industry.
