科技猎CB Insights:64家医疗物联网创业公司图谱扫描-健康-资讯-TMTforum-观察
数字健康领域涵盖了电子疗法、健康可穿戴设备以及可获取连接设备。据风险投资分析机构CB Insights的最新报告显示，数字健康领域的交易额去年增长了百分之二十。随着数字健康领域的繁荣发展，投资者们也开始把眼光放在专注医疗保健的创业公司上面。
物联网创业公司正在积极开发医疗健康领域的新应用，借助传感器来实现更好的诊断、监测、病人的管理与治疗。一部分创业公司着眼于临床级别的可穿戴设备来采集病人的数据；另一部分公司看到了医院传感器网络的机会，试图实现最优化的医疗保健服务与病人同步监测技术。
CB Insights根据内部的数据，描绘出了64家私营医疗保健领域的物联网创业公司图谱。
这些物联网创业公司都是为解决不同的医疗痛点、病人的实时监控、疾病防预问题而诞生的。CB Insights把其中有代表性的64家公司分成以下七类：
一、改善临床治疗效率：
这一类的创业公司旨在使用连接设备来改善医院和诊所的服务水平、追踪治疗结果，提高医疗服务提供者的治疗效率。比如Augmedix和 Obaa，可以使用像谷歌眼镜这样的智能眼镜用于医疗绘图。Simplifeye可以通过Apple Watch查看医生随访安排和电子病历记录。Awarepoint使用物联网传感器对病人和医疗设备进行实时定位。AdhereTech则通过连接的智能药瓶追踪剩余药品量。
二、临床级别的生物计量传感器和可穿戴设备
这一类的创业公司，如EarlySense和Monica Healthcare，着眼于生物计量传感器，可用于诊所、医院和一些获得FDA批准的专注于病人护理的公司。Quanttus,MC10和其他一些公司在研发临床级别的可穿戴设备，目前正在申请FDA的许可。其他像 Eyenetra这样的临床设备物联网公司，可以连接智能手机进行视力测验。
三、辅助消费者的家庭监测
这类公司致力开发针对消费者的用于收集生物计量信息的技术。包括抑制成瘾习惯的追踪产品Chrono Therapeutics、智能温度测量计Kinsa，以及Qardio和AliveCor这样的监测系统，可以让患者在家完成心电图的检测。
四、脑部、神经传感器
这类公司主要开发用高科技头戴设备获取脑部信息的可穿戴设备。Ybrain和InteraXon公司可以读取脑电波，Thync可以传输心情变化的神经信号。其他，像Neurovigil这样的创业公司专注于非侵害性的神经科技（脑电波的读取与记录），用来分析药品的有效性，追踪神经病理学数据。Neurovigil在去年已经完成了A轮融资，参投的有德丰杰风险投资公司和企业家埃隆·马斯克等。
五、用于运动塑形的可穿戴设备
这一类的创业公司，比如Lumo和OMsignal专注于开发用户健身的可穿戴设备或者智能成衣。Lumo 可以随时监测佩戴者的身体形态，进而通过提醒来改善其坐姿。 OMsignal 开发了一系列的运动服，可以测试人们的心率、呼吸频率和燃烧的卡路里数量。
六、睡眠监测设备
这类公司主要关注于睡眠质量的监测。代表公司有Hello和Beddit。 Hello公司开发的Sense睡眠监测设备， 可以在用户入睡后自动检测睡眠情况并进行打分，还会告诉用户周围环境是否对睡眠质量造成影响。Beddit能够测量用户的总睡眠时间、休息心率、呼吸速率、需要多久才能够入睡、起床次数以及进入深度睡眠的总时间。
七、婴儿监测
这一类公司有Qwlet和Sprouting这样的可穿戴设备技术用于婴儿的活动追踪和健康监测。Owlet婴儿智能袜能够监测宝宝的健康和舒适度，记录宝宝的心率、血氧水平、睡眠质量、皮肤温度以及睡眠位置等信息。Sprouting内置的传感器可以追踪婴儿的心率、皮肤温度，动作和位置。
