Believe it or not, COVID-19 is now a part of our lives.
So the question arises.

Some researchers have suggested simple data from these devices can also help in the early detection of COVID-19 symptoms before worsening the situation.
In my last blog, I have explained how the Apple Smart Series 6 watch has a new feature a sensor that allows us to measure the blood oxygen level and at what principle it works.
Most recently; Fitbit and Apple have collaborated with Stanford Healthcare innovation Lab to upgrade there wearables to detect COVID-19.

The main aim is to detect the onset of the Viral Infection with the initial symptoms.
Dr. Laura Nicholson, a hospitalist at Scripps Health and associate professor of molecular medicine at Scripps Research said,
"Our medical professionals work closely with scientific researchers to further our collective understanding of the threats this novel Coronavirus."
The DETECT study is the great collaboration of upgrading the capabilities of the tool to the next level against COVID-19 and to track individual healthcare.
