New research from Mount Sinai suggests that data collected by smartwatches and smart rings can be used to predict the flare-up of chronic diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and even identify the deterioration of related symptoms. The study found that biomarkers such as heart rate variability, oxygen levels, daily activity, and heart rate were affected when participants showed inflammation symptoms, even before they became visible.
Table of Contents The wearable segment is seeing multiple, exciting breakthroughs at the moment. At CES 2025, we saw Novosound showcase a sensing kit for ultrasound-based real-time blood pressure monitoring, expressing its readiness for the smartwatch and smart ring form factors. Blood glucose sensing is already in the works, and researchers are also exploring how sleep data can be used in the context of chronic problems for better health analysis.

It is characterized by episodes of remission, where symptoms like diarrhea, fatigue, pain, ulcers, and rectal bleeding trouble sufferers.
Specifically, the team monitored biomarkers such as heart rate variability, oxygen levels, daily activity, and heart rate in over 300 participants recruited across three dozen states. They were also asked to report their symptoms daily, while also facilitating blood and stool analysis. “These physiological markers could detect inflammation even in the absence of symptoms and distinguish whether symptoms were driven by active inflammation in the intestines,” says the press material provided by the Mount Sinai Hospital and Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
