COVID-19 has forced people around the world to make drastic changes to their lives and routines. In the midst of these changes, digital health companies find themselves in a unique position to help people stay active, eat nutritious foods, sleep well, and manage stress during these challenging times. They are also partnering with public health and research partners in order to leverage behavior and biometric data to help detect and prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Fitbit’s Medical Director John Moore and Scripps Research Epidemiologist Jennifer Radin will provide insights as to how wearables can help keep people healthy in times of change, and help detect the spread of influenza-like illnesses, including COVID-19.

Join us to learn:

• How wearables can help keep people healthy in times of change
• How digital health companies can use their products and services to better support users during the COVID-19 pandemic
• How Scripps research harnesses data from Fitbit and other digital health platforms in order to improve detection of influenza-like illnesses
