Smartphone data offers objective assessment for chronic disease symptoms

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a method to assess fatigue, sleep, and activity levels in patients with neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases using smartphone data. This approach aims to provide a more objective and reliable measurement compared to traditional patient-reported outcomes, which can be subjective and less sensitive to changes. The study involved 137 participants across six disease groups and a healthy control group, analyzing the correlation between screen time and app usage with PRO scores. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more objective and continuous monitoring of chronic disease patients, potentially improving treatment efficacy and patient outcomes.
