Watching for Disease: the Changing Paradigm of Disease Screening in the Age of Consumer Health Devices
Open accessAbstract
There has been a recent proliferation of consumer health devices (CHDs) that enable user-initiated screening for a variety of diseases. These devices represent a paradigm shift in the deployment of disease screening, a process that has historically been led by clinicians following the guidance of professional bodies. The detection of AF via CHDs is a contemporary example of this phenomenon and highlights several important implications of the shift of disease screening from clinicians to CHD users. These include responsibility for patient data and outcomes, healthcare costs and access, and an evolution of the patient-provider relationship. However, as CHD technologies mature and become more affordable, they have the potential to detect actionable subclinical disease and improve health. Rather than allow CHDs to enter the marketplace organically with the potential for unintended negative consequences, it is critical that clinical, research, and industry communities proactively collaborate and establish best practices for their use.

The constant flow of digital health information can motivate some individuals to engage in healthy behaviors, but may also inadvertently contribute to obsessive symptom monitoring, increased anxiety, and greater health care use in others.
“While the constant flow of digital health information can motivate some individuals to engage in healthy behaviors, these data may also inadvertently contribute to obsessive symptom monitoring, increased anxiety, and greater health care use in others.”
From Wearable Devices, Health Care Use, and Psychological Well-Being in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation (2024) · cites this paper as [9]
The copy’s Abstract (page not provided) says consumer health devices may motivate medication adherence and exercise, while device alerts may increase patient anxiety and lead to additional testing and health care utilization. It does not describe obsessive symptom monitoring, and its discussion concerns device alerts rather than the constant flow of digital health information generally. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
