A Platform to Record Patient Events During Physiological Monitoring With Wearable Sensors: Proof-of-Concept Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patient journals have been used as valuable resources in clinical studies. However, the full potential value of such journals can be undermined by inefficiencies and ambiguities associated with handwritten patient reports. The increasing number of mobile phones and mobile-based health care approaches presents an opportunity to improve communications from patients to clinicians and clinical researchers through the use of digital patient journals.

Objective

The objective of this project was to develop a smartphone-based platform that would enable patients to record events and symptoms on the same timeline as clinical data collected by wearable sensors.

Methods

This platform consists of two major components: a smartphone for patients to record their journals a
