How Can I Use this Technology for my Study?

Hear how leaders of large-scale populations studies have successfully integrated wearables into their study operations, the health-related insights gained from leveraging wearable data, and how you can access these publicly available resources to advance your research questions.

NHATS

Wearables were integrated into this NIA-funded study to capture objective, normative data in hundreds of older adults for important insights into function and care as individuals age.

NHANES

This study including a US nationally representative sample of individuals across all ages leverages wearable data to inform health indicators such as physical activity.

UK and China Kadoorie Biobank

Wearables contribute important insights in these large-scale, diverse population studies. Well-validated models generated from these data are freely available.

Multifaceted Value of Population Health Data

Population studies provide valuable insights to inform public health policy, clinical care, and important guidelines to enhance health and well-being. They also provide a rich and diverse data set that otherwise researcher may not have the means to collect, expanding the analyses they can perform to address key health-related questions.

Learn how the science team at Ametris has leveraged wearable data from NHANES to improve digital endpoint selection and algorithm accuracy.
