The future of healthcare is already here. From automated insulin pumps to diagnostic instruments that can interpret their own results, today's medical devices are smarter and more sophisticated than ever. X-rays, MRIs, and ultrasounds produce diagnostic images that let doctors identify abnormalities that can't be seen from the outside. But what if the same machines that took the images could also interpret the results? Data analytics can be used to help imaging devices learn to recognize abnormal scans. Smart imagers could soon be connected to vast image libraries and patient health records.

The future of health care is wearable devices that transmit our vitals to our physicians. Instead of self-reported data, which is often inaccurate (no offense, but your memory just kind of sucks), doctors will have real numbers to form the basis for diagnoses and treatment plans. In the wake of Apple's CareKit launch, connected medical device maker Qardio is launching a platform to share health data from its hardware with your doctor. QardioArm is a medical-grade smart blood pressure monitor that can send data to your doctor. The company has two FDA-approved products for consumers: the smart blood pressure monitor QardioArm and wireless scale QardioBase.
