Digital Medicine
Our scientists are using digital technologies to transform health research, advancing our understanding of how to detect, prevent and manage disease for longer, healthier lives.
Overview
The Scripps Research Translational Institute is an internationally recognized leader in all aspects of the clinical implementation of wireless technologies in healthcare and biomedical research.
Our scientists conduct studies using smartphone app-based research platforms, wireless sensor technologies and at-home sample collection tools to enable remote participation and advance individualized medical interventions.
Now more than ever, with advances from machine learning and artificial intelligence, we have the ability to put diverse data streams together and gain insights that a human mind or human eyes were not able to get before.
The digital medicine revolution
From smartwatches and fitness bands to glucose monitors and in-home ultrasounds, the proliferation of digital devices is igniting a revolution in healthcare and medical research. Patients can now collect thousands of data points about themselves and share that information with their healthcare providers.
