Wearables of the future might be used as a diagnostic tool to spot disease early, according to a study by the Stanford University School of Medicine.
The researchers collected approximately two billion measurements from 60 people for the study, who wore between one and eight commercial wearable devices. Using that data, the researchers were able to recognize changes in a person’s heartrate, blood oxygen, skin temperature, sleep, and calories burnt, which correlate with the onset of a disease.
