Google X is working on a smart health connected bracelet to fight cancer

Google is currently testing in its Google X Labs laboratories the design of a smart health connected bracelet which, based on the use of nanoparticles, aims to fight cancer

Project display

Last October, the laboratory research teams Google X, gathering the craziest projects of Google, announced to work on a pill containing nanoparticles to detect the presence of cancer cells. Google just announced this week using previously developed technology to provide cancer detection no longer via a pill, but thanks to a smart health connected bracelet.

The bracelet smart health connected from Google is based on nanoscopic particle analysis circulating in the blood. These particles have the property of being 2,000 times smaller than a blood cell and circulate in the blood to measure the biochemical changes predicting a tumor, a heart attack or a stroke. These particles have the function of attaching to a particular type of cell (tumor for example) so that the body identifies it as cancerous. A detection of an abnormal concentration of these particles could therefore be a sign of cancer.

Google's strategy in the Internet of Things in which we claimed that Google is betting on OS to enter the Internet of Things market in order to position itself as platform smart health connected objects.

• Google is banking on OS to enter the Internet of Things market …

The ads are therefore multiple but characterize a unique strategic desire, that of entering the smart health connected objects market via proprietary solutionsBONE and software intelligence by surrounding themselves with smart health smart health connected object manufacturers who support Google solutions. As smart health connected objects multiply and diversify, Google is also diversifying its operating systems for solutions more suited to the specifications of different smart health connected objects. The objective is clear: to be everywhere, take root on all the smart health connected objects that will surround the individuals of tomorrow to extend the activity that currently generates income on the virtual internet, targeted advertising and the use of user data.

• … And position itself as a platform for smart health connected objects

The entry by the OS is only one block of a global strategy aiming to become the platform smart health connected objects, a platform providing the link between the physical smart health smart health connected object and the service offered through the object. The Business Model behind this strategy rests on two pillars, monetization of data and intermediation on the one hand, the ultra-targeted advertising on the other hand.

• And what about the anti-cancer smart health connected bracelet?

The development of a smart health smart health connected object does not go in the direction mentioned above, arguing for Google’s entry into the IoT market via OS and software intelligence. But other similar cases, Google Glass, Google Chromecast also refer to a strategy for the development of smart health connected objects. Like Google Glass, the anti-cancer smart health bracelet is the result of advanced technological development in the market that only Google has thanks to its advanced laboratories. The strategy behind the development of these smart health connected objects is based on market domination via a competitive advantage based on technology (even if for the time being, the first version of Google Glass has not met expectations, we believe in a second version with more advanced technology that will penetrate the market B2B).

The interest for Google to develop smart health connected objects itself is to give credibility to its OS and software solutions : as Chromecast will serve the benefit of Android TV, the smart health connected anti-cancer bracelet will generate data feeding the solution Google Fit, Google's health platform.

Price and availability

The bracelet is still in development and no marketing date has been announced. And for good reason, the technology developed by Google must be improved to work with different skin types (thickness, color, blood characteristics). It is for this reason that the Google X laboratories have developed a bionic arm, covered with synthetic skins and human skins, in order to Review the effectiveness of its tool:
