Mobile, wearable devices support noninvasive, biometric monitoring. They are generating a wealth of data detailing important indicators of the user’s health, ranging from heart rate, respiration, and temperature to perspiration, gait, blood sugar levels, balance, grip, and more. Incorporation of data from sensor-enabled devices with other health and medical information adds a real-time capability to healthcare that has been lacking in all but the more complex medical device monitoring applications to date.

In this Advisor, I highlight the need to understand the optimal granularity level in analytics to maximize business value. I also point to the need for business owners and strategists to incorporate context in analytics in a balanced manner in ascertaining the granularity levels. Granularity levels can vary dynamically depending on the needs of the business. Due consideration to such dynamicity ensures that time, cost, and corresponding use of resourcing in undertaking analytics are all utilized to provide maximum value to the business.

Ronald Birk, Lori W. Gordon, and Eleanor Mitch outline the factors behind the need for a system that dynamically updates space supply chain information. Along with higher demand, there is competition among sectors, such as medical device and auto makers, for certain commodities and many rare-earth elements. The authors propose a distributed ledger technology (DLT) system called “Space supply chain Topology for Assessing Risk (STAR)” that would create a nexus for all stakeholders in the space supply chain community. STAR would include trusted partnerships via information-sharing agreements, information wells that let partners leverage an array of structured and unstructured data, a network of cloud-based platforms that enable secure processing of data among partners across the space enterprise, data integrity via DLT, and assessments of priority items to discover weak areas in space supply chains. The article describes the four key risks STAR would identify and calls for community dialogue about a space enterprise solution that “shines a light on dynamically evolving risks.”

Connected insurance (from wearables usage to mobile health appli­cations) presents great potential for both the insurer and the insured. Such potential should be harnessed in a profitable way by targeting less risky clients and presenting them with an improved, better-priced value proposition. For this to happen, insurance companies will have to seek partners from both the technological innovation sphere and the medical field, keeping in mind that insurance’s role in the health system is changing from payer to player.

There are no whole truths; all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil. -- Alfred North Whitehead
