A digital biomarker refers to measurable data about physiological functions or behaviors collected through digital devices and technologies, such as wearables, implants, ingestible sensors, smartphones, and mobile applications. These biomarkers provide continuous, real-time insights into an individual’s health status and are used to monitor normal biological processes, disease progression, and responses to treatment or interventions.

Digital biomarkers are entering a phase of deeper integration and maturity. The future lies in multi-modal biomarkers, where multiple data streams such as physiology, movement, behavior, and speech are combined into composite measures that reflect health more holistically. As regulatory frameworks evolve and real-world evidence grows, digital biomarkers have the potential to move from experimental tools to trusted clinical instruments, enabling earlier intervention, better outcomes, and a more continuous understanding of human health.
