Heath Houston, President of Vigor Health Technologies based in the United States participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Health and Fitness Wearables.
Health and Fitness Wearables
The science and technology advances in wireless communication and sensor networks have enabled the design of affordable, accessible, smart, and small medical sensor nodes that can be strategically placed near the human body, on the human body, and perhaps inside the human body.
As a result, with the improving effectiveness in design, these smart medical sensor wearables create a wireless human body area network that can monitor various physiological vital signs for a specified period of time to provide real-time feedback to the patients and physicians.
This emerging real-time potential and promise of human health wearables are on their way to revolutionize human health monitoring and bring healthcare much-needed transformation, in the way they do many things.
As the potential of human health wearables is likely to lead the healthcare industry to a future of countless possibilities, it is important to evaluate not only how health and fitness wearables will fundamentally transform human healthcare, but also what complex security challenges it brings to patients and physicians.

Health and Fitness Wearables
As we enter a new age, where connected technology will not only be applied as wearables on human bodies but will soon be merged with them for many different applications inside the human body and or near the human body, it is important that we evaluate its associated security risks. Time is now to talk about health and fitness wearables security risks!

About the Guest
Heath Houston is the President of Vigor Health Technologies based in the United States. His goal is that everyone should be able to afford a wearable to assist with their long-term health and fitness.
To accomplish this goal, four years ago in the US, he launched Nuband, a global fitness wearable brand that has become a mainstay in the mid-tier retail distribution channel with retailers such as JCPenney, Sears, and Boscov’s. Due to our success with Nuband, they created two divisions – Nuband Team and Vigor Health Technologies.
