A prediction model that used wearable data was able to detect pre-symptomatic H1N1 and rhinovirus.
Wearables may be the key to detecting the flu even before a patient begins to show symptoms, according to a new study in JAMA.
The small study zeroed in on two cohorts of participants that volunteered to be infected with the H1N1 virus and the rhinovirus. Researchers developed digital biomarker models that pulled wearable data for early detection of the viruses and severity prediction, which was aimed at the time frame after pathogen exposure and before symptoms developed.
The models developed included a swath of biometric data including heart rate, skin temperature, electrodermal activity and movement, however, it is important to note that the...
