The Next-Generation 6MWT: Best 6-Minute Effort (B6ME™)

Posted by Kate Lyden on January 13, 2023

Movement and mobility-related information collected passively and continuously from digital health technologies (DHTs) as patients go about their daily lives can significantly advance our understanding of patient functioning. The Best 6-Minute Effort (B6ME)™ is a novel outcome measure that captures the maximum effort exerted by a patient as they go about their typical daily life, providing insight into their lived experience.

Here's an overview of what B6ME™ is and how it augments the 6MWT to provide additional granularity of patient functioning and novel movement and mobility-related outcomes.

Good Data is Essential in Digital Biomarker Development

Posted by Dudley Tabakin on November 4, 2022

Good data is more important than big data in developing digital biomarkers. Big data is often sold as the solution to all digital data analyses and is touted to revolutionize healthcare in the coming years. However, the problem with a superabundance of data is that digital biomarker development becomes a fishing expedition, and the catch may not be relevant to the question. Without a hypothesis (often the case in biomarker development with big data), accurate results may be too low to use in a clinical trial or, even worse, divergent with no findings.
