We talked with Ted Ladd, Director of Development Relations at WIMM Labs, about the biggest challenges, trends and developments in health care technology at the Health 2.0 San Francisco 2011 Fall Conference.

Hardware that measures a variety of human activities is increasingly popular and transforming consumer engagement. People’s data is automatically being added to the Data Utility Layer from a multitude of devices, including updates from wearable sensors.

Ted Ladd, Director of Development Relations, WIMM Labs
WIMM Labs makes wearable technology which collects data from body sensors, displays it as information, and helps users interact with it. But the real key is that it’s a platform for other applications, allowing users to connect body sensor devices or display information from the cloud. It’s also tech manufacturing giant’s FoxConn’s entry into the measurement game.
