The study of anatomy plays a pivotal role in the development and optimization of wearable devices and mobile health applications. It is through the integration of cutting-edge technology and human anatomy that wearables and mHealth are paving the way for better remote health care. By utilizing the intricate structure and function knowledge of the human body, these technologies can provide real-time insights into health conditions that enable physicians to make informed decisions regarding patients' health. This presentation will provide a variety of examples of wearables and mHealth applications that our group has developed based on applied anatomy, including wearable positioning, capturing deep brain responses, and non-contact neuromodulation.
