Digital biomarkers for health research, digital therapeautics, and precision medicine

A method performed by one or more computers, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the one or more computers, monitoring data generated by devices that are respectively associated with different subjects, the monitoring data comprising values for physiological or behavioral measures for the subjects, including data collected by the devices according to one or more data collection parameters;
• storing, by the one or more computers, marker data defining a marker for a health condition, wherein the marker is configured to output a marker score indicative of an occurrence of the health condition for a subject or a predicted likelihood of the health condition for the subject, the marker score for the subject being based on input values for the subject for a particular set of variables associated with the marker, the particular set of variables including at least a subset of the physiological or behavioral measures;
• generating, by the one or more computers, a marker metric based on the monitoring data, the marker metric characterizing a relationship between (i) marker scores generated by applying the marker to the monitoring data for the different subjects and (ii) outcomes for the health condition for the different subjects;
• based at least in part on the marker metric, determining, by the one or more computers, that the marker satisfies one or more accuracy criteria that specify a minimum level of accuracy;
• and
• in response to determining that the marker satisfies the one or more accuracy criteria, causing, by the one or more computers, a device associated with a particular subject to adjust operation of the device by the one or more computers transmitting data collection parameters or configuration settings to the device over a communication network, the transmitted data collection parameters or configuration settings causing the device to alter interactions with the particular subject or to alter operation of one or more sensors such that the device acquires data for one or more of the variables in the particular set of variables associated with the marker.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that are operable, when executed by one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, by the one or more computers, monitoring data generated by devices that are respectively associated with different subjects, the monitoring data comprising values for physiological or behavioral measures for the subjects, including data collected by the devices according to one or more data collection parameters;
• storing, by the one or more computers, marker data defining a marker for a health condition, wherein the marker is configured to output a marker score indicative of an occurrence of the health condition for a subject or a predicted likelihood of the health condition for the subject, the marker score for the subject being based on input values for the subject for a particular set of variables associated with the marker, the particular set of variables including at least a subset of the physiological or behavioral measures;
• generating, by the one or more computers, a marker metric based on the monitoring data, the marker metric characterizing a relationship between (i) marker scores generated by applying the marker to the monitoring data for the different subjects and (ii) outcomes for the health condition for the different subjects;
• based at least in part on the marker metric, determining, by the one or more computers, that the marker satisfies one or more accuracy criteria that specify a minimum level of accuracy;
