Smartwatch Applications in Clinical Settings w/ Ruhi Bajaj: 31 May, 2023

Data from Fitbit smartwatches is being used to provide key information to healthcare providers, in a new study pioneered by University of Auckland doctoral student Ruhi Bajaj. 

They developed a prototype app that would allow for tracking of vital signs to be analysed using machine learning and stored in a database, which could then be analysed by healthcare providers to provide early warning signs.  

Arno spoke with Ruhi to find out more about the study. Arno started by asking what the hypothesis behind the study is.
