Evaluation of the wearable technology market within the scope of digital health technologies

Öz:
Owing to developments occurring in digital technologies together with electronic and mobile technologies, the businesses have turned towards the technology element more in order to differentiate. Wearable technologies which are rapidly developing technologies, have increased their popularity and become a focus of interest for the businesses to create new markets and produce new technological products. Wearable technologies, which are called as technologies integrated onto the accessories and outfits used by people and have been involved in several sectors, have a particular impact on the health sector. By means of wearable technologies, private data is transferred to smart devices via smart detectors and thus, the individual’s follow-up related to her/his medical condition is fulfilled properly. Wearable health technology products, with their use aimed at increasing the wealth of communities, are turning into a need rather than a personal choice every passing day. Therefore, this study focuses on wearable technological products, which attract the attention of people and the businesses which plan to increase their sales by creating new markets. The purpose of this study is to examine and give information about wearable health technology products and their market, which positively affect community health within the wearable technology products market. The study primarily gives information about the development of wearable technology and wearable health technology. Then it gives information about wearable technology and wearable health technology market and touches upon the situation of the market in Turkey and in other countries. Consequently, it is seen that the wearable health technology market is a rapidly developing market. An increase in the demand for products that may increase people’s quality of life, make instant health follow-up and ease their life; will create a market potential for the businesses. Thus wearable health technology market is considered as a very attractive market for both producers and consumers.

Süratle gelişen teknolojiler olarak karşımıza çıkan giyilebilir teknolojiler, popülerliğini her geçen gün arttırarak işletmelerin yeni pazarlar oluşturmaları ve yeni teknolojik ürünler üretmeleri adına ilgi odağı olmuştur. İnsanların kullandıkları aksesuarların ve kıyafetlerinin üzerine entegre edilen teknolojiler olarak adlandırılan ve pek çok sektörde yerini alan giyilebilir teknolojilerin özellikle sağlık sektörü üzerinde önemli bir etkisi bulunmaktadır. Giyilebilir teknolojiler sayesinde kişiye özel veriler akıllı algılayıcılar ile akıllı cihazlara aktarılmakta, böylece kişinin sağlık durumunun takibi doğru bir şekilde gerçekleştirilmektedir. Giyilebilir sağlık teknolojisi ürünleri, toplumların refah düzeylerini arttırmaya yönelik kullanımları ile gün geçtikçe kişisel tercihten öte ihtiyaca dönüşebilecek niteliktedir. Bu nedenle, hem insanların hem de yeni pazarlar oluşturarak satış rakamlarını arttırmayı planlayan işletmelerin ilgisini çeken giyilebilir teknoloji ürünleri bu çalışmanın ana konusu olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, giyilebilir teknoloji ürünleri pazarı içerisinde toplum sağlığını olumlu yönde etkileyen giyilebilir sağlık teknolojisi ürünlerinin ve pazarının incelenmesi ve pazar durumu hakkında bilgi verilmesidir. Çalışmada öncelikle giyilebilir teknolojinin gelişimi ve giyilebilir sağlık teknolojisi hakkında bilgi verilmektedir. Ardından giyilebilir teknoloji ve giyilebilir sağlık teknolojisi pazarları hakkında bilgi verilerek, pazarın Türkiye ve diğer ülkelerdeki durumuna değinilmektedir. Sonuç olarak giyilebilir sağlık teknolojisi pazarının hızla gelişmekte olan bir pazar olduğu görülmektedir. İnsanların hayat kalitesini arttıran, anlık sağlık takibini yapan ve yaşamını kolaylaştıran ürünlerin talebine yönelik oluşacak bir artış, işletmeler açısından pazar potansiyeli oluşturacaktır. Dolayısıyla, giyilebilir sağlık teknolojisi pazarı hem üretici hem de tüketici açısından oldukça cezbedici bir pazar olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır.
