Abstract:This talk explores how patient-generated data from wearables, ambient devices, and digital health tools can transform the delivery and quality of individualized clinical care. Digital Biomarkers (DBx) and Digital Therapeutics (DTx) leverage AI to convert raw data into action, helping clinicians adjust treatments, patients manage conditions, and researchers understand differentiated outcomes. Successes in Parkinson’s management and metabolic interventions demonstrate the value of integrating these technologies into specific care pathways. However, to realize scalable and affordable benefits for patients, providers, and payers will require implementing hybrid care systems that optimize patient-clinician collaboration across conditions and episodes of care.I will begin and end with reflections on my rather non-traditional trajectory over the last 4 decades since leaving MIT/LCS.Bio:Deborah Estrin is a Professor of Computer Science at Cornell Tech in New York City where she holds The Robert V.
