The future of nutrition in the digital world
Believe it or not, nutrition and digital are very linked because the digital world can help you put more information in the hands of your people.
Technology and nutrition are the common denominator in today’s world. According to the Wall Street Journal, in just one year, Google went from investing 8% of its budget for new companies to 36%. Only for the area of health care (approximately 425 million dollars), this area being the one that receives the largest amount of resources today. * On the other hand, the giant Apple is not far behind and is also committed to health. As we all already know, one of the big releases included in iOS 8 was the personalized health section “HealthKit”. That through the use of apps developed by Apple and third parties, collects information and provides individualized reports. Or nutrition, food, sleep, body measurements, vital signs, among many more. On top of all this, Apple launched the Apple Watch, which is the most personal device the firm has ever developed. But the Apple Watch is not the only one in the battle, Google is also in the fight, the Android line also has devices. There are also newer companies, which are growing at a constant rate, the most successful example being the company Pebble. That in 2012 launched a crowdsourcing campaign on the Kickstarter platform and to date has raised more than 20 million dollars. Pebble today offers similar devices at much more affordable prices and has sold more than 1,000,000 units. What good does knowing all this do to improve our health?
What is the use of this information?
What allows us to obtain information and advances in the area of health is medical research.** This is based on studies and the information obtained from them. Medical research methods have not changed much over the years. Researchers go to great lengths to attract interested people. * In being part of your studies, the most important thing is to obtain quantitative information. Dr. Kathryn Schmitz, a researcher in the area of clinical epidemiology and cancer. He has stated that throughout his medical career he has sent more than 60,000 invitations to participate in his research. Of which only 305 people have participated in their studies.
The future of nutrition and medicine
For these reasons, the collection of information through devices such as smartphones and smartwatches is essential for health. This will allow researchers to have access to a database of millions of users who collect their information daily. And it will allow them to develop the necessary tools to conduct much more accurate clinical studies. Since they will be able to collect information every second and not every 3 months as previously happened. It is estimated that by 2018 in the world there will be more than 2.56 billion smartphone users that will supply the database. * If you thought that your smartphone is only used to read your email or check your Facebook. Now you know that you can also contribute in the battle against diseases such as cancer, obesity and more. **Put the solutions of the future of medicine in the hands of patients.
