Why Wearable Health Trackers Alone are Not Enough

Wearable heath technology has exploded over the last few years, and now comes in many forms. Popular devices include smartwatches like Apple Watch and the Samsung Galaxy Watch, health tracking bands and straps like FitBit and Garmin, and rings like Motiv and Oura. There are other less common devices like tracking patches, ECG trackers, and blood pressure monitors.

Vivi360 utilizes a health tracking band and has plans to support a variety of wearable health tracking tools in the future.

 

While these devices all provide valuable health tracking capabilities—with varying levels of success—there can be a lack of guidance on how to use the data and keep devices synchronized. In some cases, not knowing what to do with the information can lead people to abandon or stop using these devices. Apple has even acknowledged the perils of too much data, opting for simpler messages to improve user behavior.

One Thing is Missing

Many users simply don’t know what to do with the volume of information provided by the device alone, and they may not know how to interpret it.  Charts and graphs without context and insight are not always very useful.  Treatment providers in the recovery space are trained in care and counseling, not data science.

That’s where ViviHealth comes in. Vivi360’s Insight Engine transforms data from sources like health tracking wearable devices into personalized insight.

These insights provide unique, actionable considerations about the patient, distilling things down to its essence and being truly helpful in any moment.

Our system processes the data into the actual learnings and trends in plain language.

Our “insight-as-a-service” makes the role of the treatment team easier, providing details about what is going on beyond the wearable while also making the empirical data available if further analysis is needed.

 

Supporting the wearer, not the wearable

Sometimes technology solutions neglect to make the user of the devices themselves the center of the ecosystem.

Our attention is on the wearer—the person in recovery working to maintain their sobriety:

• ViviCompanion empowers the user in their own recovery, and the health tracker is just one component of the integrated system.
• ViviClinic gives clinicians deep insight about each person in recovery treatment, strengthening their therapeutic alliances.
• ViviCircle facilitates social connection with their support circle, including sponsors.

At the center of it all is the person, the wearer. Our mission is a holistic approach to support life transformation and make lasting recovery possible.
