Business Economics Assignment # 1 Apple Watch Case Study Submitted By: Muhammad Ahmed MS IBF Business Economics Assignment # 1 Apple Watch Case Study Submitted by: Muhammad Ahmed MS IBF ERP ID: 23212 Q1 The buyers of the smartwatches include young athletes and affluent people. Following are the three needs that are fulfilled by a smart watch: 1. Ability to monitor Health and fitness activities 2. Communication, such as sending and receiving notification and search/ social networking 3. Style and fashion b) Who are the sellers? Identify three sellers and highlight their differentiating features The sellers of smartwatches are Pebble, Samsung, Apple, Motorola, LG. following are the differentiating features of three sellers: 1. Pebble: Pebble smartwatches have long battery life as compared to other smartwatches, its agnostic approach to operating feature was its unique feature and it was able to connect to both Apple and android devices through Bluetooth. 2. Samsung: Samsung Gear S had was first to free itself from a phone with its own 3G and Wifi connectivity. 3. Apple: it was a great combination of technology and art, and was as per the need of what people wanted. Q2 a) Apple watch is a consumer good because it cannot be used to produce anther consumer good or service in future. B) Study of Apple watch is a microeconomic study as it is concerned about an individual industry and not taking about economy as a whole, it is focusing on supply and demand, and other forces that determine price levels, making it a bottom-up approach which makes it the study of microeconomics.

II) PGEAR S: the positive sign indicates there is a positive(direct) relationship between price of Samsung GEAR S watch and Quantity demanded of Apple watch, an increase in price of GEAR S will increase the quantity demanded of Apple watch and vice versa. III)PPEBBLE: the positive sign indicates there is a positive(direct) relationship between price of Pebble watch and Quantity demanded of Apple watch, an increase in price of Pebble will increase the quantity demanded of Apple watch Apple watch per week and vice versa. IV)PiPhone6: the sign is negative and it indicates that there is a negative(inverse) relationship between price of iPhone 6 and quantity demanded of Apple watch, an increase in price of iPhone 6 will decrease the quantity demanded Apple watch per week and vice versa. V) A: the positive sign indicates positive(direct) relation between Advertisement budget and quantity demanded of Apple watch per week, as the budget increases so do the quantity demanded of Apple watch per week and vice versa.

    Review 850 Healthcare Applications of Smart Watches A Systematic Review Tsung-Chien Lu1,2; Chia-Ming Fu1; Matthew Huei-Ming Ma1; Cheng-Chung Fang1; Anne M. Turner2,3 1Department of Emergency Medicine, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan; 2Division of Biomedical and Health Informatics, Department of Biomedical Informatics and Medical Education, School of Medi- cine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA; 3Department of Health Services, School of Public Health, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA Keywords Other clinical informatics applications, Interfaces and usability, Healthcare, Wearable device, Smart watch Summary Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to synthesize research studies involving the use of smart watch devices for healthcare. Materials and Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Ana- lyses (PRISMA) was chosen as the systematic review methodology. We searched PubMed, CINAHL Plus, EMBASE, ACM, and IEEE Xplore. In order to include ongoing clinical trials, we also searched ClinicalTrials.gov. Two investigators evaluated the retrieved articles for inclusion. Discrepancies be- tween investigators regarding article inclusion and extracted data were resolved through team dis- cussion. Results: 356 articles were screened and 24 were selected for review. The most common publi- cation venue was in conference proceedings (13, 54%). The majority of studies were published or presented in 2015 (19, 79%). We identified two registered clinical trials underway. A large propor- tion of the identified studies focused on applications involving health monitoring for the elderly (6, 25%). Five studies focused on patients with Parkinson’s disease and one on cardiac arrest. There were no studies which reported use of usability testing before implementation.

  • The Use of Activity Monitoring and Machine Learning for the Functional Classification of Heart Failure
    The Use of Activity Monitoring and Machine Learning for the Functional Classification of Heart Failure by Jonathan-F. Benjamin Jason Jérémy Baril A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Health Science, Clinical Engineering Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering University of Toronto CC BY 4.0 by Jonathan-F. Benjamin Jason Jérémy Baril, unless otherwise prohibited The Use of Activity Monitoring and Machine Learning for the Functional Classification of Heart Failure Jonathan-F. Benjamin Jason Jérémy Baril Master of Health Science, Clinical Engineering Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering University of Toronto 2018 Abstract Background: Assessing the functional status of a heart failure patient is a highly subjective task. Objective: This thesis aimed to find an accessible, objective means of assessing the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification (FC) of a patient by leveraging modern machine learning techniques. M ethods: We first identified relevant quantitative data and upgraded Medly, a remote patient monitoring system (RPMS), to support data collection. We then proceeded to build six different machine learning classifiers including hidden Markov model, Generalized Linear Model (GLM), random forest and neural network based classifiers. Results: The best overall classifier was found to be a boosted GLM, which achieved a classification performance (Cohen’s Kappa statistic 휅=0.73, balanced accuracy=85%) comparable to human level performance (휅=0.75). Conclusions: Although the investigated classifiers are not ready for implementation into a real RPMS, they show promise for making the evaluation of NYHA FC more universally consistent and reliable. ii dédié à Papa, sans ton encouragement cette thèse n'aurait jamais existée iii Acknowledgments Ah!

  • Samsung Gear S and S2 Heuristic Evaluation
    Stephanie Wong Samsung Gear February 28, 2016 User Design Evaluation Report Samsung Gear S SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION This report is an evaluation of the smartwatch ‘Samsung Gear S’. It is designed and marketed by Samsung Electronics on August 28, 2014 and is the successor for Samsung Gear 2. Compared to the previous model, Samsung Gear S has a curved screen with a 360x480 resolution, a 300ppi Super AMOLED capacitive touch-screen that displays colors more vibrantly and bright. In this report, the smartwatch is analyzed for its usability and its compatibility with the Smartphone. Its interface is tested to see which tasks are supported successfully and to identify those tasks that have a need for improvement. These are listed with their severity level in our final results, along with recommendations on how to improve the user interface for future design solutions. My own opinion: SECTION 2: THE METHODOLOGY As ‘Heuristic Evaluation’ is considered to be used by single experts and is feasible – we used this as our design evaluation. The report is divided into two sections. The first half has the overall user experience- which is a higher categorization and review. The second half covers tasks users could perform or interact with the watch on a daily basis. The severity levels provided in each are indicators for the team to prioritize the tasks that should be addressed first. With each task, we have also provided corresponding recommendations. SECTION 3: RESULTS & INTERPRETATION Samsung Gear S has two main core features, one is to provide notifications and the other is to provide user access to their mobile phones.
