Optical Sensing for Digital Biomarker Development - Jessilyn Dunn | Duke FIP

2022 Fitzpatrick Institute Symposium at Duke University:
Digital health is rapidly expanding due to surging health care costs, deteriorating health outcomes, and the growing prevalence and accessibility of mobile health and wearable technologies. Data from mobile and wearable technologies can be transformed into digital biomarkers that act as indicators of health outcomes and can be used to diagnose and monitor a number of chronic diseases and conditions. Optical sensors provide novel data streams for digital biomarker development. In this talk, I summarize our recent work developing digital biomarkers of chronic and acute conditions including pre-diabetes, influenza, and COVID-19, using optical and other digital sensing technologies.
