This leads to intermittent, sparse, or nonexistent monitoring of a patient’s health status over long periods of time. As a result, millions of individuals are being wrongly treated, underdiagnosed, or simply not diagnosed at all. For more than a decade, an assembly of scientists, physicians, researchers, and engin
