Digital Biomarkers: The New Era of Wearable Technology

The recent pandemic underscored the healthcare industry’s need for less invasive, timelier methods of diagnosing severe diseases. As wearable devices of all kinds become widely adopted by healthcare-conscious consumers, we find ourselves with the perfect conditions for the increased use of digital biomarkers to predict future health outcomes and explain diseases in a more data-driven manner.

In this paper, we explore the current state of the wearable diagnostics market and learn about the possibilities of using human perspiration to monitor patients for potentially life-threatening diseases. We’ll study the use case of using perspiration to detect cytokine storms via the specific biomarkers that are evident in both blood and sweat.
