Articles and Insights About Wearables for Clinical Trials

At the a2 National Symposium: Empowering Innovation in AI/Tech + Aging, Senior Research Scientist Jen Blankenship, PhD, presented our ongoing work with the Center for Human Health and Performance at the University of Massachusetts Amherst to develop digital clinical measures that capture how patients with Alzheimer’s disease function in their real-world environments. 

VivoSense, a trusted leader in the development, validation, and delivery of digital clinical measures, announced today that it has been awarded a research grant funded by the National Institute of Aging (NIA) and the Massachusetts Artificial Intelligence and Technology Center for Connected Care in Aging & Alzheimer’s Disease (MassAITC; grant number 5P30AG073107-02 Pilot A2).

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease that progresses to impact every dimension of a patient’s life. With no cure and limited options to manage symptoms, research is underway to develop drugs that impact the most burdensome aspects of AD: memory problems and the ability to function independently.
