Forecast: To predict a future event

“One of the greatest challenges in rheumatoid arthritis is predicting who will have worsening symptoms or inflammation. It’s exciting to think that by using something as simple as a wearable device we may be able to predict what will happen with someone’s disease and improve their care.”

Robert P. Hirten, MD

Gastroenterologist and Principal Investigator

The information collected by your smart watch, fitness tracker or wearable device might shed light on flares of rheumatoid arthritis and if a flare might happen soon. 

Join our novel study, RA Forecast, to help us learn how to identify and predict flares in the hopes of transforming rheumatoid arthritis care. In the study, we collect data from your wearable device and through brief app-based surveys.
