more thoughts
Fox Insight is just getting rolled out so please check in from time-to-time (and watch for our announcements) as features and platforms are added. For instance, the original tools (pebble watch and android phone) were selected for the feasibility trials and proof of concept work because they were open source platforms that allowed us to test/learn from the data. The platform however is being built by Intel to ultimately be "technology agnostic" (ie, eventually it will work for other wearables and other smart phone platforms like iOS/Apple for instance). It is our hope that the data collected will be useful for researchers and patients alike. This is very ambitious.
We look forward to getting more feedback for the initial 1000 "wearables" participants. A big thanks to those who are in Fox Insight (and contributing data via the web portal -- over 4000 so far) and to those who are going further to add the "wearables" feature (100's so far) so that we can complement the reported data with objectively collected data. We are going for something big here and I hope we can encourage many more to help us find the way. Patients hold the key to the details of what is really going on with the disease in their lives and we are hoping that by capturing that detail and sharing it with researchers, we can transform the insights and speed progress.
