Wearable technologies in clinical research — their potential, practical hurdles and the debates shaping whether they’ll remake how trials are run.
Key Takeaways
- Wearable sensors like PPG-equipped watches and patches enable continuous physiological monitoring outside clinics.
- Clinical adoption has been gradual because measurement validation, regulatory approval, and ethical concerns limit broader use.
- Cardiology has led wearable integration in trials, with activity and heart-rate data predicting heart-failure severity.
