Integration of Personal/Wearable Devices with an EMR at Cedars-Sinai

Ray Duncan, MD, CTO, Cedars-Sinai Health System.  In April 2015, Cedars-Sinai opened up their EMR patient portal for patients to link their wearable/personal devices and upload their fitness data. Since then, more than 2000 patients have voluntarily uploaded data from Withings, Fitbit, and Apple Watch devices. Dr. Duncan reviews their experience with managing and visualizing patient-contributed data, lessons learned, and initial approaches to identifying outliers for clinical follow-up.
