HITLAB Virtual Session: the Impact of Wearable Technology on Digital Diagnostics
Today we attended the 6th session of HITLAB's BT1 Virtual Knowledge Convene to discuss "The Impact of Wearable Technology on Digital Diagnostics". This was an opportunity to talk and discuss about the past, present, and future of medical wearables with Columbia University's HITLAB international community.
A few of the topics we covered:
• How wearables are revolutionizing healthcare data collection
• The potential of wearables for early disease detection and remote patient monitoring
• The future of personalized medicine powered by wearable tech.
Mayo Clinic Seminar on Wearables and Digital Biomarkers in Neuroscience
Our CEO Pierre-Alexandre Fournier was invited by Mayo Clinic to give a seminar on medical wearables and digital biomarkers this week. Thanks again to Dr Jonathon J. Parker, MD PhD, Teryn Johnson, Ph.D., and Bobby Mohan from the Neurosurgery department for organizing the event!
We had the chance to share details about many Hexoskin projects , including our collaboration with Centre de recherche du CHUM (CRCHUM) on epilepsy research, and R&D on respiratory and rare diseases.
We also discussed the importance of running the right trials to validate the digital biomarkers that make medical wearables valuable in different care settings, e.g. before, during, and after hospitalizations. Convincing data from these trials are essential to get through regulatory, reimbursement, and adoption challenges.

Hexoskin @ HITLAB Innovators Summit 2023
This November at the HITLAB Innovators Summit at Columbia University in NYC we officially launched our new Hexoskin OneView platform for clinical research! For a long time we knew there was a need for better software to support digital biomarker development and clinical research with medical wearables.
We understand the needs of research organizations and clinical sites when it comes to onboarding participants, monitoring compliance and data quality.
So we did something about it.
OneView is the best solution for doing clinical research with Hexoskin and Astroskin wearables. It allows you to:
- Manage cohorts and calendars
- Monitor data quality and compliance
- Use study templates, standardized questionnaires and data reports
- Easily clone studies to create new study arms
- Export all data to other systems like R and SAS for biostatistics
The platform also includes a mobile app for patient reported outcomes and participant tasks management.
On top of that, Hexoskin offers turnkey services for clinical trials: protocol planning and design, recruitment, study support, biostatistics and endpoints, etc.
OneView is already used today by a select group of research organizations and Pharma companies - who joined our beta program earlier this year - to run clinical trials with a decentralized or virtual component. Their feedback has been amazing and has helped us improve OneView to make it an essential research tool.
Please visit our website: hexoskin.com/oneview to learn more about digital tools for clinical research.
