Lawrence<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Pentagon is expanding the use of wearable fitness trackers to help predict outbreaks of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 as use of the technology, such as watches and rings, spreads in the military despite early security concerns.<\/p>\n<p>The Defense Innovation Unit, an entity within the Pentagon focused on pairing commercially available technology with military uses, says that it had success during the pandemic in identifying infections by marrying an artificial intelligence algorithm with a commercial device.<\/p>\n<p>The breakthrough allowed the DIU to predict sickness and transmissions days in advance. Its announcement comes as the Pentagon looks to apply wearable trackers across the force, not only to better detect diseases, but to bolster health through sleep, diet and exercise tracking.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.military.com\/daily-news\/2023\/05\/01\/military-expanding-use-of-fitness-trackers-detect-disease-outbreaks-such-covid-19.html\">Military.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not chipped like the neighbor&#8217;s Golden Retriever?
