B Data

Wearable sensors are becoming ubiquitous in healthcare and are making their way into prosthetics and orthotics. This session will focus on sensing technologies that are, or soon will be, available, how scientifically reliable these data sources are, and whether they can adequately measure changes due to clinical intervention. It will also explore how data can help justify medical necessity, allow for early intervention to improve clinical outcomes, and, in the future, how ‘Big Data’ can be leveraged to guide clinical decision-making and will likely influence reimbursement decisions.
