Which areas of healthcare do
you believe are ripe for tech
breakthroughs?
AI and data built into products
will take them to new levels. We'll
see solutions that sense changes
in health and well-being without
being prompted or directed. That
means tools will focus on deep
learning data sets, predictive
diagnosis and preventive care.
Implantables, wearables and
diagnostics data powered by
AI will come together to greatly
alter how people manage their
healthcare in an increasingly selfdirected way.
What types of new products will
help people manage chronic
diseases such as diabetes or
heart disease?
Our focus is on innovations that fit
easily into a person's life so they
can do the things they love to do
without constantly thinking about
their chronic health condition. We
think about how to create smaller,
less invasive devices that have the
potential to replace medications
as the first or only line of defense.
For people with diabetes, our
FreeStyle Libre continuous
CARDIAC RHYTHM
MANAGEMENT
The Confirm Rx™
Insertable Cardiac
Monitor (ICM) detects
irregular heartbeats. It's
the first smartphone -
compatible
insertable
cardiac
monitor
to support
optimal
diagnosis and
treatment
The FreeStyle Libre system uses a small
sensor, about the size of two stacked quarters,
that can be scanned discreetly with a
smartphone or reader, even through clothing.
Glucose levels are tracked in real-time, and
users can see patterns and trends that can
help them better manage their diabetes.
glucose monitoring system uses a
sensor that can be scanned using
a smart phone to let patients track
glucose levels without having to
stick their fingers. Our insertable
cardiac monitor - the size of a
paperclip, inserted just below
the skin in the chest through a
quick out-patient procedure -
monitors heart rate and rhythm
and connects people with their
doctors to more accurately detect
and diagnose irregular heartbeats.
How do you see the
personalization of healthcare
being important?
This AI-driven, smart devicepowered world is changing
the way we live and how we
manage our care. The more
personalized we can get, the
more promising the benefits
for healthcare efficiency and
diagnostic accuracy. For example,
we can analyze a patient's data to
identify genetic factors associated
with serious conditions and spot
elevated risks of developing
chronic conditions as early as
possible so people can take
measures to mitigate or manage
the condition before it presents
itself.
With the growth of traditional
tech companies entering the
healthcare space, what can each
industry learn from each other?
We believe there's much
technology companies can learn
from the healthcare industry,
and vice versa. By combining
our collective expertise and
perspectives, we can put the
right technologies together
with the right sets of data to
improve patient health and safety,
decrease medical errors, protect
patient data and privacy, and
ultimately, improve the quality of
healthcare delivery. Collaboration
is key to the impact of advances in
healthcare technologies.
Why is CES important to you?
CES brings together the world's
leading thinkers and producers of
consumer technology. For Abbott,
a company dedicated to helping
people live their best lives through
life-changing technologies, it's
an incredible opportunity to not
only share what we're seeing and
delivering, but also be inspired by
what new technologies are poised
to help us further our mission.
