BioSticker & BioButton medical grade wearables

Continuous 30-day biometric measurements including body position, RHR, temperature, respiratory rate, gait quality, activity, sleep and more.

If they work as advertised these look to have potential in ME research to get some good data for a whole month pre and post an intervention or CPET. I don't think I've seen them used yet though?

Sounds potentially exciting for ME research, even just to provide a better description of our symptoms even before evaluating any interventions.

 

Just saw on the news here that these have been used for remote monitoring of Covid patients and that NZ is going to trial them for other conditions.

A quick google shows trials elsewhere, too. Mainly, it seems, for cancer patients at high risk of infections due to their lowered immunity. The patches seem to be good at picking up changes in body temperature and the algorithm takes into account the individual patients' normal when assessing the relevance of changes in temperature (something literally coldblooded me has long been wondering about)

Didn't see anything regarding the other stuff the device monitors, like body position, RHR and gait, but only looked for 30 seconds.

Still think that if it works as advertised this device would have some very useful applications in ME research
