The science of using sensor data to define, measure, and create mathematical models of disease can lead to better outcomes—and huge benefits—for everyone in healthcare and life sciences.
Remote, patient-centered technologies, like sensors and wearables, have become an essential part of clinical research, especially in the age of Covid-19, when physical restrictions placed on patients and clinical sites have accelerated the adoption of virtual clinical trials. Beyond the context of the pandemic, collecting high-fidelity sensor data continues a trend in the virtualization of clinical trials.
