Digital Biomarkers

What to Expect

In this Ideathon, Lux explores innovations and challenges in digital biomarkers for consumer health, highlighting emerging innovators, their progress, and the evolving market landscape. Digital biomarkers are revolutionizing health and wellness by turning everyday data from wearables, apps, and smart devices into meaningful insights about sleep, mood, stress, metabolism, and more. While obstacles like inconsistent data quality, maintaining consumer engagement, and limited validation persist, startups are pioneering frictionless tracking technologies and user-centric platforms and building, testing, and training their algorithms with diverse and larger real-world data sets to unlock digital biomarkers’ full potential for proactive self-care.  

This Ideathon will explore the following three key questions: 

• Which platforms and sensors are best positioned to capture digital biomarkers that deliver the most compelling short- and long-term wellness applications for everyday users? 

• How are innovators enhancing the quality and accuracy of digital biomarkers, minimizing friction in data collection, and translating real-world signals into intuitive and actionable insights? 

• How are companies designing digital biomarker solutions to align with evolving consumer expectations, behavior-change goals, and emerging wellness trends?
