Duke teamed up with health IT company HumanFirst to launch the Digital Measures Evaluation Center, which will focus on assessing sensors and other digital measures used in clinical research. 

With the rapid adoption of digital health tools during the COVID-19 pandemic, Duke cited a need for increased evaluations of these technologies to determine their accuracy and how measurement errors may affect research conclusions and healthcare decision-making. 

Duke will use HumanFirst’s platform to create and conduct protocols to test sensors and other digital measures on behalf of sponsor partners, according to the news release.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
