Wearable vital-sign sensors for early detection of severe dengue and sepsis: Clinical applications and implementation in resource-limited settings
Early evidence shows that low-cost wearable sensors can deliver clinically meaningful lead times for severe dengue and sepsis in developing countries' hospitals. However, generalizability, artifact suppression, power autonomy, and economic sustainability remain unproven. Multicentre pragmatic trials, edge-optimized algorithms, and full cost-effectiveness analyses are needed before routine adoption.
