Design of wearable devices for diverse populations (Conference Presentation)
Abstract
The use of wearable devices is changing the way patients manage many chronic health conditions, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, outside the clinic. The ability of wearable to provide continuous monitoring makes them particularly suitable for the management of these chronic disorders which are disproportionately present in minorities. Compared to Caucasians, African American are 30% more likely to die of cardiovascular diseases, while Hispanic and Latino are 65% more likely to be diabetic. These groups have also significant higher rate of obesity. In this talk we will introduce some of our work aimed at the development of optical wearable devices targeting chronic diseases. We will show, through Monte Carlo modeling, how common optical wearable devices do not address the need of all users and are particularly limited in dealing with highly pigmented skin tones as well as large adipose layers. Strategies to overcome these limitations will be presented.

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.
