Wearable Sensor May Help Curb Opioid Relapses, Overdoses

"The study participants were given the wireless wrist sensor, which continuously measured physiological signals like heart rate, skin temperature, accelerometry, electrodermal activity, and interbeat interval. The researchers collected 2,070 hours, or 86 days, of sensor data and observed a total of 339 opioid administrations.

The study shows that the machine-learning sensor was able to detect an opioid administration as well as predict the exact moment of administration by analyzing the physical characteristics and physiological trends that indicate opioid use."

The wrist sensor is designed to identify psychophysiological signs and determine whether they are consistent with opioid cravings, researchers said.
