Vasomotor symptoms monitoring with a commercial activity tracking watch

Abstract

Personal fitness/health tracking devices that include electrodermal activity sensors enable tracking of vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes).  Multiple conditions are associated with vasomotor symptoms.  This article describes nighttime tracking of vasomotor symptoms for an individual over a two-year period.  This volunteer was a participant in a longitudinal study on volunteers wearing physiological monitors.  Personal tracking of vasomotor symptoms will provide new insights on the differences between conditions and impacts on individual’s health.
