He does not see future challenges in the technical field. The technology is available. In fact, Christian Stammel sees the difficulty of making progress in developing practical applications, algorithms and data analyses. He noted that sensors, which are already being used in smart watches, are not used enough. In particular, he sees a forward-looking trend concerning the change and observation of behavior patterns by means of mobile devices. On November 16 and 18, the MEDICA CONNECTED HEALTHCARE FORUM will give hospitals and physicians the opportunity to gather information on the latest developments. Thereby, Wearable Technologies will not only present new devices, but also other important elements of the supply chain. For example, Markus Sieber from TÜV SÜD Produkt Service GmbH,will talk about the testing of wearables as medical devices.

At the MEDICA App COMPETITION on November 17 it is all about the best medical app for professional use within the scope of the everyday routine of doctors and in hospitals. Thereby, the consumer market of fitness and wellness apps is explicitly not being focused on, according to the organizer Mark Wächter, Chairman of MobileMonday Germany. From August 10 to October 10, app developers from around the world can submit their medical apps to participate in the competition. These submissions are then pre-selected by the MEDICA expert team and ten developer teams will be able to qualify for participation at the live pitch taking place at MEDICA in hall 15 - with the winner selected on site by a top-class jury. In addition to user friendliness, criteria will particularly be the business model and the contribution to process optimization and increasing efficiency. Last year’s winner was “Medopad”, a suite of iPad applications which makes it possible to add captured health data to existing databases and make them available on tablets.
