Can You Trust Your Wearable?
In this episode of The DNA of Things with Dr. Jeremy Koenig, Marco Benitez, CEO and co-founder of ROOK, discusses one of the biggest challenges in digital health: turning fragmented wearable data into clean, standardized, and usable information.
Wearable data is becoming one of the most valuable signals in health tech, but device fragmentation continues to make it difficult for companies to build reliable products at scale. Two devices can be worn by the same person at the same time and still produce very different outputs, creating challenges for teams working in insurance, pharma, remote patient monitoring, clinical trials, longevity, AI, and digital health.
This conversation explores why clean data is becoming a critical infrastructure layer for better insights, smarter health products, and more reliable outcomes.
Topics covered:
Why wearable data is valuable but difficult to use
The impact of device fragmentation on digital health products
Why two devices can produce different outputs for the same person
The importance of clean, standardized, and usable health data
How wearable data supports insurance, pharma, RPM, clinical trials, longevity, and AI
Why data infrastructure matters for better insights and outcomes
How companies can turn fragmented health signals into actionable intelligence
Listen to the episode to learn why standardized wearable data matters and how companies can turn fragmented health signals into actionable intelligence.
