BHF DSC Monthly Webinar: November 2023 Smartphone & Wearable Data for Cardiovascular Research (40.09)

The aim of the BHF Data Science Centre’s Smartphones and Wearables thematic area is to support research that securely and fairly uses smartphone and wearable data to improve cardiovascular health. Professor Tim Chico talks about the potential of smartphone and wearable data linked to healthcare data in cardiovascular research, the challenges involved, and how the BHF Data Science Centre is addressing these. He presents findings from our recent surveys that identify what researchers believe is the most important smartphone and wearable data to collect and public views on the acceptability of sharing this data. Tim is Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Sheffield and honorary Consultant Cardiologist at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. He is also Research Director for Healthcare Data / AI in the Institute of In Silico Medicine (INSIGNEO) and leads the EPSRC South Yorkshire Digital Health Hub. The webinar was chaired by Dr Jackie MacArthur, Senior Scientific Programme Manager for the BHF Data Science Centre.
