Digital Biomarker Limitations

Meaning

This refers to the inherent constraints and potential pitfalls in interpreting an individual’s physiological status based solely on data derived from digital sensing technologies, particularly when applied to the complex, feedback-regulated endocrine system. These limitations include issues of sensor accuracy drift, lack of standardization across competing devices, and the inability of current technology to capture all relevant biochemical feedback loops directly. We must remain judicious about over-interpreting derived metrics in isolation.
