How your Apple watch could say if you have COVID-19
The researchers believe that the health data of the laptops could predict the cases of coronavirus.
Health officials in the world have talked about using applications to draw COVID-19 and slow cases or prevent potential exhibitions, but one day your smartwatch or your Fitbit could be able to diagnose the disease. -same.
The researchers conduct studies on behalf of whether a portable algorithm could be developed to follow the cases of coronavirus, or even detect the disease in a wearer,United States today reported this week.
At least half a dozen major studies are in progress. Fitbit has announced its own CIVID-19 study that will be done via an integrated Fitbit application. They are looking for more than 21-year-old volunteers who currently have or have symptoms of CVIV-19 or flu. "This study will help determine if Fitbit can help build an algorithm to detect COVID-19 before the start of symptoms," said the companyIn a recent blog article.
At the Stanford Healthcare Innovations laboratory, researchers are researcherslooking atIn order for volunteers to participate in a similar study, which they call a "crowdsource effort to analyze and predict potential CVIV-19 cases by donating your portable data". They are looking for participants who have a heart handset that measures heart rate - including the Apple, Fitbit, Empatica, Garmin or Oura Bagon - are over 21 years old and have been diagnosed with Covid-19, had suspicious symptoms, Or work a job it puts you at higher risks of exposure, such as health or grocery store.
And the Scripps Research Translation Institute launchedDetect (digital engagement and follow-up for early control and treatment), a study that will examine whether heart rate data can be used to detect and track the propagation of coronavirus. Volunteers will share healthy health data, including the Followers of the Apple, Fitbit and Garmin Fitness watch. It is an extension of an earlier study in which Scripps researchers followed heart rate, sleep and activity data to see if this could predict influenza epidemics. The respected medical newspaperThe lancet Called this "encouraging concept proof".
"In the light of the current flu season and the Global Pandemic of COVID-19, we see a huge opportunity to improve disease monitoring to improve the health of the population," said Jennifer Radin epidemiologist , the epidemiologist leading the detection study.
They do not fire only in the dark. Thursday, the researchers of the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute said they determined that the data of the Oura ring (a wearer who looks like a jewel) could predict when people will have a fever, a cough or shortness of slake. Three days. in advance. And Friday, Stanford researchers told theWashington PostThis analyzing FitbiT heart rate changes made it possible to detect cases of coronavirus before or at the time of diagnosis in 11 of the 14 patients in their study.
