A team of researchers will monitor the physiological conditions of more than 100 study participants
Researchers at the Tampa-based University of South Florida will examine how wearable technology can help the body’s physiological response to COVID-19, with the goal to develop an early warning system for those most at risk of severe infection.
University researchers point out that while the total rate of COVID-19 infection “is alarming, the percentage of those patients who experience severe illness from the virus remains relatively low.” As such, they note, experts say certain factors, such as age and health history, appear to play a role in overall outcomes. Now, USF researchers are hoping to better understand the differences in physiological changes between those...
