Health Choice Awards
Wearables & Connected Health
Wearable and connected products that help people carry out a specific health task.
Products considered
This category considers the device, the information it provides and the experience of using it. Identify the hardware, sensors, app and algorithm versions, along with any phone, network or subscription needed. Explain the health task the measurement or function supports.
The assessment
What reviewers consider
- Does the measurement perform under the conditions in which people use the product?
- Can users fit, charge and operate the device and understand its results?
- Are missing readings, connectivity limits and relevant warnings explained?
- Does the supporting evidence apply to the submitted device, app and algorithm?
Your application
Prepare for this category
- Device specifications and relevant app, firmware and algorithm versions
- Performance reports with reference methods, test conditions and relevant participant details
- Setup instructions and evidence of fitting, operation, result interpretation and error recovery
- Information about charging, skin contact, data permissions, updates and ongoing support
Evidence and everyday use
Technical accuracy and practical usefulness answer different questions. Provide both the relevant measurement findings and evidence of how intended users carry out the task. Explain conditions that can affect results.
What if the same app works with several devices?
Compare their sensors, algorithms and user tasks. State which combinations the evidence covers and identify any combination requiring separate support.
