Description

Stanford Medicine partners with Fitbit and other tech and academic partners on the effort, and is now looking for participants to help refine the diagnostic tool. The idea is that smartwatches or other wearable sensors may have the ability to detect symptoms that indicate a viral infection before a person notices it themselves, like higher skin temperature or elevated heart rate.
