  • A Taxonomy-Based Analysis of Platform Ecosystems for Fitness Trackers
    Is Open Always Better? - A Taxonomy-based Analysis of Platform Ecosystems for Fitness Trackers Anne-Katrin Witte1, Rüdiger Zarnekow1 1 Technical University of Berlin, Chair for Information and Communication Management, Berlin, Germany {a.witte,ruediger.zarnekow}@tu-berlin.de Abstract. The wearable fitness technology sector is growing steadily as a result of the increasing miniaturization of sensors and the rapid rise of the mobile internet. In this context the use of fitness trackers promises the consumer the provision of personalized health services. This additional value cannot be achieved by a single company but is realized by a multitude of different actors that collectively create value within platform ecosystems. In order to understand their structure and properties and get a current market overview, a taxonomy to analyze wearable fitness technology platform ecosystems is developed following the methodology by Nickerson et al. [1]. The empirical-to-conceptual approach is conducted by applying the flagship fitness tracker of the ten highest rated manufacturers as a fundamental platform technology. Using the taxonomy four clusters could be identified that primarily distinguish the fitness tracker companies regarding their openness to consumers and developers. Keywords: Fitness tracker, wearable fitness technology, platform ecosystem 1 Introduction Fitness tracker offer the potential to provide personalized and ubiquitous health services to consumers [2]. Through their numerous sensors and functions, they enable and empower users to track and change their habits to lead a healthier lifestyle. This can be either done for private application by using an app to analyze the recorded health data or in context with medical treatment where the physician receives the collected health data to improve the care of the patient.

  • U.S. Health Care Technologies
    U.S. HEALTH CARE TECHNOLOGIES Quianta Moore, M.D. Ashleigh Johnson, M.P.H. U.S. HEALTH CARE TECHNOLOGIES Technology has permeated every sector of the market, making services and goods faster, cheaper and mobile. Not surprisingly, advancements in technology have also increased access to health information and self- monitoring for individual consumers, as well as increased health care providers’ ability to diagnose, monitor or treat their patients remotely. A plethora of health-related technology is available on the market. This brief summary provides a snapshot of the scope of what has been developed, which may also provide insight into the current needs or demands of patients and providers. Methods: We performed a search for health technology available to consumers and health care providers. The terms health or technology, equipment, consumer, portable, top and available were entered into the Google search engine. Inclusion criteria for search results were: 1) technology was available for purchase by consumers or health care providers, and 2) technology was used to monitor, prevent, diagnose or treat health issues or to increase access to health care treatment or information. The equipment category was then further divided into: 1) equipment for health care providers, 2) equipment for consumers, 3) equipment for consumers focused on physical fitness, and 4) equipment for consumers that has yet to be publicly released. We also performed a search for health technology mobile apps that are currently available for mobile use. The terms “health apps,” “health mobile apps,” “fitness apps,” “health apps physicians,” “health apps consult physicians,” and “top mobile health apps,” were entered into the Google, Apple store and Google Play search engines.

The one area that we feel is certain to gain momentum and have a huge impact on how the mobile industry develops in 2014 is the number of brands that we will see moving from the sidelines and fully into the game. The impact of this will be seen both in the gains in mobile spend as brands move away from the 1% average that we’ve been seeing and start moving towards 10-15% mobile spend with increased ROIs as a result. We will also start to see how mobile is driving both innovation in marketing and transformation of business. As always, the MMA will be providing support and guidance for the entire industry, shining a light on inspiration, capability development, measurement and advocacy allowing all constituents to continue building their businesses, with mobile at its core.
