What it takes to get useful health data from your smartwatch Training an algorithm is an essential part of translating our bodies’ signals into early diagnoses.

MIT researchers designed a computationally efficient algorithm for machine learning with symmetric data that also requires fewer data for training than conventional approaches. Their work could inform ...

Most medical algorithms are trained on data collected in New York, California, and Massachusetts. That might skew they’re accuracy if they’re used in other places, researchers suggest.
