A study was conducted by health startup Cardiogram and UCSF and has followed more than 6,000 subjects, some of whom had diagnosed hypertension and sleep apnea. Researchers studying the healthcare implications for modern wearable devices have found that wrist-worn gadgets like Apple Watch and Fitbit can be used to accurately detect hypertension and sleep apnea. The research claims that data from wearable heart rate sensors, when combined with machine learning algorithms, can surface hidden patterns that predict whether a person is at risk for certain health problems. More broadly, the research aims to spur business development around the use of wearables within preventive medicine. "What if we could transform wearables people already own -- Apple Watches, Android Wears, Garmins, and Fitbits -- into inexpensive, everyday screening tools using artificial intelligence?" wrote Cardiogram co-founder.
