Abstract

Inflammatory changes play a central role in both diseases and therapeutic interventions. Wearables are a promising novel method for inflammation detection and tracking through identifying subtle, individualized physiologic changes. We evaluated a wearable-derived individualized digital biomarker, inflammatory multivariate change index (iMCI) against serum biomarkers and reactogenicity following va…
