Wearable devices have new features coming out constantly, but perhaps the most useful are those related to health. A recent Stat News article discussed a new study aimed at determining if wearables can be used to detect presymptomatic and asymptomatic infections. Subjects in the study were given Empatica’s E4 wristbands, which record heart rate, skin temperature, movement, and electrodermal activity. They were then exposed to viruses, and were instructed to report daily symptoms to researchers so they could quantify their viral shedding.

Researchers were able to detect infection with up to 92% accuracy in folks inoculated with viruses.
