Take me to PSFK iQThis PSFK guide is a connected wellness report explores the innovative solutions for personalized, data-driven behavioral and health experiences.
A new generation of digitally connected devices, wearables, and software platforms are leveraging consumer data to create intelligent feedback loops and provide users with personalized treatments and recommendations for their physical and mental health, as well as promote positive behavior both in-the-moment and over the long-term. Currently there are just-under two active IoT-connected devices per individual existing in the world, and for any active connected (but not necessarily IoT) device, that ratio jumps to 3 per person. These wellness market devices can be just as unique as the consumers who use them, enhancing various elements of life and human health.
In this cross-sectional study, the PSFK iQ research team explores the innovative solutions being adopted across the full spectrum of personalized, data-driven behavioral and physical health experiences. To help our members better understand the trajectories at play in this increasingly important and connected health space, PSFK has identified 6 key trends behind the tools, insights, and approaches consumers are trusting their mental and physical wellbeing with.

In contrast to wearables, ambient health technologies use connected sensors alongside image/video and audio recognition capabilities to measure biometric data without skin-on-skin contact—offering more flexible and comfortable approaches to health tracking and support. On a larger scale, contactless monitoring technologies can also track environmental quality to ensure optimal conditions. While much of this technology is currently for use within clinical settings, the next step will be integrating these capabilities into people’s homes.
Connected CoachingFitness is not a one-size-fits-all approach. People respond differently to workouts and newcomers often have trouble ensuring proper form and technique. Together these factors can limit the effectiveness of training and sometimes result in injury. Absent a dedicated coach, armchair athletes must have to seek other resources or figure these things out on their own. Connected fitness gear from wearables to equipment are solving that problem through real-time tracking and monitoring of a variety of...
Digital TherapeuticsBehavior change and adherence are difficult. People need to break out of well-worn patterns and embrace new ways of thinking and acting and keep that up consistently over time.
