Clinical assessments for Parkinson’s disease depend on clinician-administered scales, which have limitations in sensitivity and real-world applicability. Wearable inertial sensors offer a promising ...

A 28-day wearable-sensor study of 26 healthy naturally menstruating women found that active energy expenditure varied across the menstrual cycle and was higher in the early follicular phase than the ...

When seemingly healthy people receive an alert from a wearable sensor telling them they might have a respiratory virus—based on small changes in their unique heart rate, sleep and activity ...

Insufficient physical activity during hospitalization correlates with decreased physical functionality, prolonged stays, and higher readmission rates among the elderly population. Wearable systems ...

Modern medicine is largely reactive—treating illness only after symptoms emerge. But a new study from the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Center (The Institute) and McGill ...

University of Illinois professors Manuel Enrique Hernandez and Richard Sowers, in collaboration with James R. Brasic, professor at Johns Hopkins and New York University, have published a study ...

Wearable sensors remain largely underused, despite their utility in improving data collection and regulatory compliance.

In a recent study published in the journal NPJ Digital Medicine, researchers used the large-scale accelerometer dataset from the United Kingdom (U.K.) Biobank consisting of unlabeled data for 700,000 ...

Huawei’s blood sugar tracking timeline shows how its watches moved from blood pressure monitoring to diabetes risk alerts, ...

Biogen Idec has partnered with Google X, Google's business unit for long-term “moonshot” projects, to study outside factors that might contribute to the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS), ...

A new wearable sensor could help people avoid the dangers of dehydration by alerting them when their bodies need more water. Developed by researchers at the University of Texas, the non-invasive ...

Flexible pressure sensors can detect subtle mechanical stimuli, making them suitable for use in wearable sensors for human health monitoring and motion analysis. However, current sensors suffer from ...
