I just did my annual check-up at the doctor’s office. I’m kind of bad about going, but I’m young and healthy, so it’s fine I don’t really go very often, right?  

Anyway, I showed up at my doctor’s office and the tech they were using made it seem like decades since my last visit.  

They had the iPad, stats on me from all sorts systems and every test I’ve taken since I was a baby — and they could even send it all to my iPhone. It was amazing, but it’s just the beginning.  

Connected worker 4.0 is changing so many industries, but its impact on healthcare is set to change the world.  

To learn more about how, I invited Wonjin Kim, Director of Digital Health Wearable Solutions & Partnerships at Samsung, onto the show today to pick his brain about wearables and health.  

And, after forgiving me for owning an iPhone, he shared a lot of the amazing ways Connected Worker 4.0 will be shaping health outcomes in the near future.  

Wonjin went over:  

  • How wearables are already changing healthcare 
  • What wearables will mean for the future of health 
  • Some of the biggest challenges facing a Connected Worker 4.0 future 
  • The Christmas tree problem
