In this publication, Existing clinical measures for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients, eg: Disease Activity Score (DAS)28 are labor-intensive and typically compiled once every three months by a physician. In contrast, wearable fitness activity trackers allow for continual measurement of activity and lifestyle events. If correlated to disease activity, use of data from “wearable” will provide an understanding of impact on activity on a more frequent basis than the physician-applied tests. Objectives: The primary aim of thi...
