According to reports, early studies have shown that wearable devices such as Fitbit or Apple Watch can help track patient data when patients recover from the long-term side effects of COVID-19. A research paper seen by the New York Times published on JAMA Network Open on Wednesday pointed out that after the diagnosis of new coronary pneumonia, data from Fitbit or Apple Watch will show that it may last for several weeks or months. Physiological and behavioral changes.
According to this study, the duration of symptoms of COVID-19 patients is longer than that of patients with other respiratory diseases. In addition, wearable devices are also a consideration because the data shows that they are a reliable way to track the long-term effects of COVID-19 and other diseases.
This is an interesting study, and I think it is very important, said Dr. Robert Hirten, a wearable device expert from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Unobtrusively monitor people’s abilities over time to see in an objective way how exactly does the virus affects them? It is reported that Dr. Hirten was not involved in this research.

The test results come from the Digital Engagement and Tracking for Early Control and Treatment study, which was carried out by researchers at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California. The study surveyed more than 37,000 participants between March 25, 2020, and January 24, 2021. Participants downloaded an app, agreed to share their wearable device data and used the app to report symptoms and COVID-19 test results.
In addition to evidence that wearable devices can help track health indicators and disease recovery, this research also provides scientists with some insights into the long-term effects of COVID-19 infection. According to this study, common long-term side effects of COVID-19 include increased heart rate. On average, participants with COVID-19 need 79 days to return to a normal heart rate. However, those with other respiratory diseases can recover to an average heart rate in only 4 days.
