Abstract
With the advent of wearable technology and the ubiquity of smartphones, the way we monitor our health and lifestyle is ready to undergo a revolution. No longer are we limited to self-reporting of our behaviors and health, but we can now collect objective data through sensors that monitor our movements, sleep patterns, stress, wellbeing and more. These behavioral markers provide a wealth of information about our daily routines and can help to make informed decisions about our health and well-being. In this talk, we will explore the latest advancements in wearable and sensor technology, and how they are transforming the way we monitor our lifestyle. We will also discuss the potential applications of this technology in healthcare and research, as well as the challenges that need to be addressed for widespread adoption. By the end of the talk, you will have a better understanding of the potential of behavioral markers and the role they can play in improving our health and quality of life.
