Stanford study on stress and depression utilizes VivaLNK's wearable devices

Published September 16, 2018

Vivalink is providing its wearable Vital Scout patches to students at Stanford in the effort of experimentation. The Vital Scout is a product that goes under the clothes and monitors/measures how the body responds to physiological changes and impacts from emotional or physical distress. Vivalink hopes that this study will help connect a link between stress and depression in order to reduce the rate and effects of depression. In addition to being used in the research of this study, Vital Scout is commercially available to consumers in the remote patient monitoring market. Vivalink is pushing the study and research of these wearable sensors by partnering with organizations to use wearable sensor technology for studies on health related topics like heart failure event detection and chemotherapy remote patient monitoring.
