Stanford University is launching a new lab designed to pull measurable and meaningful data from wearable devices.
The Stanford Center for Medical Mobile Technology is being overseen by Matthew Smuck and Christy Lane, co-founders of Vivametrica, a Canadian company working on an analytics platform for wearables. Lane, an “exercise scientist” who has worked at academic medical institutions in both the United States and Canada, sees the new lab as an opportunity to tie consumer devices to the provider community.
