Using data from Wearables and Mobile Apps in Chronic Disease Research

Date: November 17, 2016 Time: 1:00 pm (EDT)
Hosts: Sharib Khan, MD, MA, MPH and Chintan Patel, PhD

The growing popularity of wearables and smartphone devices among consumers has led to a new opportunity for large-scale data driven chronic disease research in diabetes, obesity, hypertension and so on. The wearables and devices capture in-depth accurate data on a variety of health variables/metrics of interest including physical activity, sleep, weight, heart rate, blood glucose and blood pressure. In this webinar, we will discuss

  • The type of wearables/devices in market that are relevant to chronic disease research
  • Results from existing research studies that have successfully incorporated data from wearables
  • Various challenges, assumptions and issues to consider when using data from wearables
  • Pushing the data from wearables into Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Clinical Trial data capture systems.
  • Demo of GET Digital Health, a turn key solution to conduct research studies by leveraging data from wearables without any IT support.
