SUMMARY:Using Smartwatches to Improve Personal and Population Health
DESCRIPTION:Wearable technology such as smartwatches has the potential to transform the management and control of infectious diseases. Smartwatches provide continuous data about an individual’s health (e.g.\, heart rate\, sleep patterns\, physical activity). This data can be exploited to determine when an individual has become infected with a communicable disease\, allowing for treatment of the disease and implementation of disease control measures. This talk presents two studies. The first study uses data from a clinical trial of 4\,795 participants to examine changes and behavior and biomarkers during the diagnostic decision period (the time from infection exposure to testing decisions) for three respiratory diseases. We find that smartwatches can detect infection before individuals are aware of their infection\, and that patients have a delayed response in seeking testing and reducing social contacts. The second study builds on this finding\, developing a mathematical model to assess the potential impact of early smartwatch disease detection on control of communicable diseases. The findings underscore the revolutionary potential of smartwatches to manage seasonal diseases and alter the course of future epidemics. \n\n\n\n\n\nBio: Margaret L. Brandeau is Coleman F. Fung Professor of Engineering and Professor of Health Policy (by Courtesy) at Stanford University. Her research focuses on the development of applied mathematical and economic models to support health policy decisions. Her recent work has examined HIV and drug abuse prevention and treatment programs\, programs to control the opioid epidemic\, and housing programs for persons experiencing homelessness. She is an INFORMS Fellow. From INFORMS\, she has received the Philip McCord Morse Lectureship Award\, the President’s Award\, the Pierskalla Prize (twice)\, and the Award for the Advancement of Women in Operations Research and the Management Sciences. She has also received the Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Registry Paper of the Year Award from the Center for the Evaluation of Value and Risk in Health and the Award for Excellence in Application of Pharmacoeconomics and Health Outcomes Research from the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research. At Stanford she has received the Stanford Medicine Integrated Strategic Plan Star Award\, the Eugene L. Grant Faculty Teaching Award from the School of Engineering\, and the Graduate Teaching Award from the Department of Management Science and Engineering.
