Pair of soft, flexible sensors sit at the base of the throat and wrap around a finger to monitor respiratory health.
Sticker-like medical device streams symptom data to physicians
Northwestern University researchers caution that consumer wearables are not sophisticated enough to monitor the complicated illness.
“According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, the three most important early symptoms for COVID-19 are fever, shortness of breath and coughing,” Rogers said. “For a wearable technology, you want to track those key symptoms. A conventional wearable device, such as a fitness tracker, sits on the wrist or finger — not the anatomical location that is most relevant to COVID-19.”
“We are already seeing clear vital sign differences collected by the sensor between patients with COVID-19 and healthy-matched controls,” said Arun Jayaraman, a researcher assistant scientist at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, who leads the algorithm development. “We’re working together to develop predictive algorithms for detecting the disease earlier.”
