    Digital Health: Tracking Physiomes and Activity Using Wearable Biosensors Reveals Useful Health-Related Information

    <div><p>A new wave of portable biosensors allows frequent measurement of health-related physiology. We investigated the use of these devices to monitor human physiological changes during various activities and their role in managing health and diagnosing and analyzing disease. By recording over 250,000 daily measurements for up to 43 individuals, we found personalized circadian differences in physiological parameters, replicating previous physiological findings. Interestingly, we found striking changes in particular environments, such as airline flights (decreased peripheral capillary oxygen saturation [SpO<sub>2</sub>] and increased radiation exposure). These events are associated with physiological macro-phenotypes such as fatigue, providing a strong association between reduced pressure/oxygen and fatigue on high-altitude flights. Importantly, we combined biosensor information with frequent medical measurements and made two important observations: First, wearable devices were useful in identification of early signs of Lyme disease and inflammatory responses; we used this information to develop a personalized, activity-based normalization framework to identify abnormal physiological signals from longitudinal data for facile disease detection. Second, wearables distinguish physiological differences between insulin-sensitive and -resistant individuals. Overall, these results indicate that portable biosensors provide useful information for monitoring personal activities and physiology and are likely to play an important role in managing health and enabling affordable health care access to groups traditionally limited by socioeconomic class or remote geography.</p></div

    <p>Participant #1 hourly summaries in (A) sleep, (B) HRs, (C) skin temperature, and (D) steps as measured using the Basis Peak device over 71 nontravel d. (E) Summaries of 43-person cohort for daily HR and skin temperature from all data and (F) differences in resting (fewer than five steps) nighttime and daytime HRs (Note: one person did not have nighttime measurements and is not included) and skin temperature. (G) Daily activity plots for 43 individuals. Based on number of peaks in the curves, four general patterns of activity behavior are evident. The plots in Fig 2G were aligned according to the first increase in activity.</p

    <p>Bar plot (upper panel: bars in blue) showing the amount of radiation that Participant #1 exposed to over a 25-d time window. Bar plot (lower panel: bars in magenta) showing the time that Participant #1 spent in airplane flights over the same time period. The maximum cruising altitude of each flight was labeled in the zoomed view of the bar plots. Asterisk represents the amount of radiation monitored during the airport carry-on luggage check (range 0.027 to 0.031 mRem). Other events that resulted in relatively high radiation are also labeled in the figure.</p

    <p>(A) Example of a flight with continuous SpO<sub>2</sub> measurements (blue) taken using a Masimo finger device. Altitude recorded using FlightAware (green). (B) Heat map showing distribution of SpO<sub>2</sub> measurements recorded using a forehead Scanadu device at different flight stages: before takeoff, ascending, cruising, descending, and on ground post flight. (C) SpO<sub>2</sub> levels recorded using iHealth-finger device during 2-h automobile ride over a mountain. Average measurements and standard error measured over a 15-min window (Blue). Altitude recorded from sign markers or town elevations and/or using DraftLogic website. (D) Distribution of SpO<sub>2</sub> measurements taken from 18 individuals at cruising altitude (blue) versus on ground (green). (E) Distribution of SpO<sub>2</sub> measurements after the participant reported feeling alert (red) or tired (cyan). (Upper panel) Measurements from nonflying days. (Lower panel) Measurements from flying days. The significance of the difference between the two distributions was assessed by two-sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. (F) Scatterplot of response time and SpO<sub>2</sub> level recorded during one flight. The data recorded during another flight are shown in <a href="http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.2001402#pbio.2001402.s005" target="_blank">S5D Fig</a>. The response time was derived from the psychomotor vigilance test to objectively quantify the fatigue of the participant. Self-reported tired and alert states are labeled by cyan triangles and red dots, respectively. (G) (Upper panel) Example of a flight with continuous SpO<sub>2</sub> measurements (blue) taken using a Masimo finger device. Altitude recorded using FlightAware (green). Note the increase in SpO<sub>2</sub> level towards the end of the flight. (Lower panel) Sleepiness recorded by Basis device. Magenta and cyan colors represent sleep and awake status, respectively. (H) A scatterplot of duration of time and the increase of SpO<sub>2</sub> in the last quarter. All data points were collected at altitudes higher than 35,000 feet. (I) Empirical cumulative distribution function plot of SpO<sub>2</sub> levels >7 h after takeoff (red) versus <2 h after takeoff (blue). All the data points were recorded at altitudes higher than 35,000 feet (<i>p</i> < 1e-307; two-sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test).</p
