The tech company is touting a future where smartwatch data is used in doctors’ offices, in clinical research and by insurance companies<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

For Garmin, the future of healthcare will be found on people\u2019s wrists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the 10th annual Garmin Health Summit, held this week in Prague, the tech company pointed to a future where fitness trackers and smartwatches are an integral part of global healthcare systems, with doctors having access to patients\u2019 information like sleep and heart rate data to inform better treatment plans, and health insurance companies leveraging large biometric data sets to deliver services on a macro scale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garmin<\/a> is confident its wearables will be at the forefront of this movement, which the brand calls \u201csmartwatch-enabled digital health.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the smartwatch space has become highly competitive, with some of the biggest brands in the world entering the space<\/a>, Garmin\u2019s executives believe the Kansas-based company, founded in 1989, has a competitive advantage when it comes to wearables and healthcare.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGarmin\u2019s business strategy is to be an ecosystem player,\u201d Scott Burgett, senior director of Garmin Health Engineering, told Athletech News at the event. \u201cWhen you look at the breadth of our wearable products, the breadth of our data, and the ease of integration \u2013 we\u2019re agnostic between iOS and Android \u2013 we really are the best company (to work with).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Garmin Advantage <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Summit<\/a>, Garmin\u2019s executives touted its wearables as the best devices on the market to support doctors, healthcare companies, and clinical researchers, thanks to their long battery life and high-quality biometric sensors, which track metrics including stress, heart rate variability (HRV) and skin temperature, among others, with high accuracy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most Garmin smartwatches<\/a> have a battery life of at least 5 days, with some lasting far longer than that<\/a>. That’s significantly higher than new versions of the Apple Watch<\/a> (between 18 hours and 3 days, depending on model) and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7<\/a> (around 2 days, according to online reviews). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longer battery life leads to higher customer engagement and longer wear times, which means more data for healthcare professionals, Garmin points out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so important that you can put on a wearable and leave it on for seven days,\u201d Burgett said. \u201cEvery time you take it off, there\u2019s a chance you might not put it back on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe focus on battery life because it\u2019s a unique selling point that none of our competitors really can touch,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the biometric data side, Garmin believes its wearables are the best in the business \u2013 the brand released its first smartwatch in 2003, over a decade before other tech players entered the space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn 2015, we launched our first in-house PPG sensor. We\u2019re now on Gen 5 and you can see how often we update that throughout the year,\u201d Burgett said. \u201cIt\u2019s one of our constant initiatives. We continue to innovate in our sensor technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond its smartwatch tech, Garmin believes it’s got the best system to support businesses and organizations as they pursue digital health innovation. The brand established Garmin Health in 2014, growing it into a full-scale B2B solution for healthcare, research and clinical trials, insurance companies, gyms and fitness brands, corporate wellness, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garmin wearables have been part of more than 1,000 research studies<\/a> in areas including sleep, well-being, rehabilitation, physical activity, and disease management.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Executives also touted Garmin\u2019s commitment to data privacy \u2013 the Garmin Health API allows third parties to ask customers whether or not they consent to sharing their wearable data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Glimpse Into the Future <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there\u2019s a consensus among experts that we\u2019re at the very beginning stages of wearables becoming important in healthcare \u2013 operational, regulatory, and economic challenges currently prevent wider adoption \u2013 some organizations are already embracing the future imagined by Garmin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this year\u2019s Summit, Garmin highlighted some of the companies already using its wearables to make a difference in people\u2019s health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

VigiLife, Inc., and Metluma were announced as winners of the 2024 Garmin Health Awards, voted on by a panel of industry experts and Summit attendees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

VigiLife, an Ohio-based company, created SafeGuard, a platform that protects employees from workplace hazards like heat stress by leveraging environmental sensors to detect noise, radiation, and certain\u00a0chemicals. The brand uses Garmin smartwatches and fitness trackers in conjunction with its environmental sensors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metluma, an Australian telehealth platform, helps women navigate perimenopause and menopause by connecting them with medical professionals and providing other digital support. The female-founded company leverages wearable data to provide treatment for its users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to celebrate this year\u2019s Garmin Health Awards entrants,\u201d said J\u00f6rn Watzke, senior director for Garmin Health. \u201cOver 75 leading providers from 35 countries worldwide submitted their innovative solutions. We were so impressed by the diversity and level of innovation demonstrated in these solutions and we offer a huge congratulations to this year\u2019s winners and to all who participated.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Garmin is touting a future wear smartwatch data is used in doctors offices, in clinical research and by insurance companies.","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":111971,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"disable_comments":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","tpd_franchise_content":"","hide_featured_img_single_post":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"tpd_featured_video":[],"tpd_sponsored_post_logo":"","tpd_sponsored_post_logo_link":"","tpd_sponsored_post_logo_width":0,"tpd_sponsored_enable_nofollow":true,"tpd_disable_incontent_ads":false,"tpd_disable_right_rail_ads":false,"tpd_disable_after_content_ads":false,"tpd_disable_header_ads":false,"tpd_disable_sticky_footer_ads":false,"tpd_disable_video_ads":false,"tpd_disable_outbrain":false,"tpd_affiliate_disclaimer":[],"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[536,273,336,1098,296,3955,947,5431],"post-options":[],"vertical":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-111969","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tech","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-apple-watch","10":"tag-garmin","11":"tag-healthcare","12":"tag-samsung","13":"tag-samsung-galaxy-watch","14":"tag-wearables","15":"tag-wellness-tech","16":"pmpro-has-access"},"acf":[],"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2024_GarminHealthAwards_Finalists-_1_-1-e1727473355118-1180x590.webp","author_name":"josh-liberatore","author_avatar":"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cropped-Josh-Headshot-96x96.png","primary_category":{"term_id":5,"name":"Tech","slug":"tech","taxonomy":"category","url":"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/category\/tech\/"},"yoast_head":"\nGarmin Eyes Wearables as the Future of Healthcare -
