摘要

The increasing adoption of smart, wearable technology and remote patient monitoring (RPM) has the potential to revolutionize the way healthcare is provided, giving personal insights into various health metrics including heart rate, VO2 max, sleep, glucose levels, calorie expenditure, and step tracking just to name a few. Most commercial applications of this technology appeal to fastidious athletes and health-conscious consumers, but with continually improving sensors, real-time health monitoring of vitals in sick patients and earlier detection of insidious disease in patients suffering from chronic illnesses are just some of the many possibilities this technology can offer. Wearables like the Apple Watch introduced in 2015 popularized health tracking, but initial poor battery life and limited functions hampered their use as a reliable health device. Now wearables can collect both active and passive data more accurately, enabling digital phenotyping and artificial intelligence (AI)Artificial intelligence (AI)-based risk prediction for various health conditions. As wearable technology and RPM improves, these devices have expanded their reach and are now being utilized in the asthma space with limited applications in patients suffering from rhinitis, primary immunodeficiency, and atopic dermatitis as well. These metrics are giving consumers and their physicians an increasingly nuanced awareness of general health and well-being, compelling users to make wearables an integral part of their everyday lives.
