Business Insider Intelligencecouple new sensor technology with advancements in artificial intelligence. To learn more about the diagnostic potential of smartwatches, we spoke to Adel Laoui, the CEO and co-founder of NeuTigers, a machine learning company that spun out from Princeton University.
Laoui believes that advancements in machine learning, edge computing, and sensor hardware will enable smartwatch platforms to eventually diagnose thousands of diseases. NeuTigers has been on the vanguard of this research, having developed clinical proof of concepts to show that machine learning and smartwatch sensors could be used to diagnose diabetes, depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.
Laoui pointed out, however, that NeuTigers used smartwatches developed by MIT with research-grade sensors, while Fitbit's EDA sensors aren't yet clinically proven: "It's one thing to integrate these sensors, it's another thing to demonstrate their medical-quality grade." Nevertheless, the commercial availability of the technology is promising since researchers have EDA sensors to accurately register emotional states such as fear, anger, surprise, and happiness.
The increasing diagnostic potential of smartwatches raises privacy concerns, however, as tech companies promote the use of smartwatches in the workplace.
I don't think smartwatches should be be promoted for workplace usage unless the person wants to wear them.
