Scripps Research InstituteJul 24 2024 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 heartrate, sleep and activity patterns-;what do they do? According to a new study by Scripps Research scientists carried out at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, only a quarter of people follow up such an alert with an at-home viral test.
Giorgio Quer, PhD, first author, director of artificial intelligence at Scripps Research Translational Institute and assistant professor of Digital Medicine at Scripps Research "There are both individual and public health benefits to alerting people of early physiological changes that might signal a viral infection," says Steven Steinhubl, MD, senior author, adjunct at Scripps Research and professor of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University. "It can give people extra time to isolate, change their plans and prevent spreading the virus."
"This is something that we think is really important to keep in mind for future studies on wearable health monitoring," says Quer. "The timing with which you alert people to changes in their health is really critical if you want to ultimately impact behavior."
