Abstract:
Digital phenotyping is increasingly used in the medical field as a moment-by-moment quantification of individual human phenotypes using data from personal digital devices,such as smartphones and wearable sensors.Using this technology to obtain various kinds of data in patients'daily life for analysis can better predict the outcome of surgical patients and provide personalized treatment.In neurosurgery,digital phenotyping primarily focuses on monitoring postoperative outcomes in spinal surgery patients.Most studies employ objective data such as step counts,activity distances,and GPS trajectories to reflect functional mobility changes and assess rehabilitation progress.This technology demonstrates advantages including high-frequency objective data collection,personalization,and cost-effectiveness,yet faces challenges related to ethics,privacy and data processing.Future development of digital phenotyping requires refining ethical frameworks while advancing multi-disease research and developing dynamic intervention models to promote precision medicine in neurosurgery.
