Karger AG, Baselĭigital medicine products hold great promise to improve medical measurement, diagnosis, and treatment. This primer is the first in a series that will accelerate the safe and effective advancement of the field of digital medicine. To make this resource engaging and accessible, we have included illustrations and figures throughout that we hope readers will borrow from liberally. We classify types of digital measurements and how to use and validate these measures in different settings. Specifically, we contrast “clinical research” versus routine “clinical care,” outlining the security, ethical, regulatory, and legal issues developers must consider as digital medicine products go to market. We aim to drive the field forward by unpacking that barrier, providing a brief introduction to core concepts and terms that define digital medicine. A major barrier to entry is the cross-disciplinary approach required to create such tools, requiring knowledge from many people across many fields. Yet despite rapid advances, healthcare lags behind other industries in truly putting these technologies to use. Sensors and wearables are getting smaller and cheaper, and algorithms are becoming powerful enough to predict medical outcomes. Technology is changing how we practice medicine.
