Wearable Technologies

Building on the recent advances in mobile health and real-time patient monitoring technologies, as described above, we propose the development of a patient-caregivers engagement framework based on a combination of wearable devices and mobile technology coupled with state-of-the-art data integration and risk prediction technologies. 

Specifically, the wearable device can harvest patient’s physiological markers including heart rate, body temperature, motion activity etc. while mobile applications will provide behavioral data and allow for patient engagement. This technology will integrate real time monitoring of patients’ vital signs via a wearable device, regularly scheduled test results and patient reported outcomes with a predictive behavioral component. This technology will provide a framework for early risk identification, emergency notifications, and enable timely intervention.
