By 2025, the World Economic Forum<\/a> estimates that 463 exabytes of data will be created each day. Already, a single patient generates close to 80 megabytes each year in imaging and electronic medical record (EMR) data, according to an Innovation in Care Delivery<\/a> article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While many clinicians and health care providers are hesitant to integrate aspects of AI into their practice, patient-generated health data (PGHD) offers numerous benefits. With up-to-date, accurate data, clinicians can anticipate, diagnose, and treat patients more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although data-driven care may lead to concerns about losing some of the personal aspects of patient care, studies<\/a> show that the average length of time allocated to patients in a clinical setting is only 17.4 minutes, which is problematic for patients with chronic conditions who need frequent attention and ongoing care. Utilized together with telehealth, it\u2019s vital to the future of a high quality preventative approach. The Benefits of Daily Monitoring<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Consumer spending on wearable devices (including pedometers and heart rate monitors) will total $52 billion by the end of 2020, according to Gartner<\/a>. Two-thirds of respondents to a Rock Health survey<\/a> said they bought a wearable device to be more active and 42% of those respondents said they would share their health data with physicians if it resulted in improved healthcare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health data is constantly being collected on Fitbits, Apple Watches, and various wearable devices, which not only benefits users on a daily basis, but has the ability to tell clinicians far more than any one-on-one clinical visit can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a patient\u2019s permission, a more complete view of the patient’s needs and health status can be informed through the following collected data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
