Gout is a painful inflammatory arthritis affecting more than 8 million Americans. Identifying high-risk patients in early life could potentially encourage people to adopt lifestyle changes to prevent gout. Polygenic risk score (PRS) provides an overall estimate of an individual's genetic liability to develop a disease and can be used for early iden...

Background Stress is a risk factor associated with physiological and mental health problems. Unobtrusive, continuous stress sensing would enable precision health monitoring and proactive interventions, but current sensing methods are often inconvenient, expensive, or suffer from limited adherence. Prior work has shown the possibility to detect acut...

Environmental exposures such as nutrition during life stages with high developmental plasticity—in particular, the in utero period, infancy, childhood, and puberty—may have long-lasting influences on risk of chronic diseases, including obesity-related conditions that manifest as early as childhood. Yet, specific mechanisms underlying these relation...

Chagas disease, caused by the infection with the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi , is clinically manifested in approximately one-third of infected people by inflammatory heart disease (cardiomyopathy) and, to a minor degree, gastrointestinal tract disorders (megaesophagus or megacolon). Chagas disease is a zoonosis transmitted among animals an...

Background Several studies have shown that facial attention differs in children with autism. Measuring eye gaze and emotion recognition in children with autism is challenging, as standard clinical assessments must be delivered in clinical settings by a trained clinician. Wearable technologies may be able to bring eye gaze and emotion recognition in...

This viewpoint describes the urgent need for more large-scale, deep digital phenotyping to advance toward precision health. It describes why and how to combine real-world digital data with clinical data and omics features to identify someone's digital twin, and how to finally enter the era of patient-centered care and modify the way we view disease...
