Abstract

Medical wearables, non-invasive devices that measure physiological biomarkers, are potentially disruptive and powerful tools to promote health equity at scale. Here we describe our experiences designing, validating, and deploying wearable sensors in vulnerable patient populations to improve health outcomes.
