Digital health expertsAbout digital health applications
The work on Halo has moved past step counting. Seven entries read a biochemical signal off the body continuously, through sweat, saliva or an aptamer wearable, and four close a loop back to the person in real time, mostly during sleep. Therapy and coaching are delivered by text and conversation. On Halo it spans six groups, including wearable biochemical sensing, therapy and coaching delivered digitally, and at-home testing read digitally.
Stage of development. Work on digital health applications on Halo is split between university programs and companies. 49% of the solutions are in market. Co-development and sponsored research are the usual partnering routes, and about 34% of the solutions that state terms offer pilot engagements.
Three trends in digital health technologies on Halo
The wearable has gone biochemical. Seven entries read a molecule off the body, not a movement: hormones in sweat, cortisol and oxytocin through aptasensors in a buccal prosthetic, saliva biomarkers measured electrochemically, continuous hormone tracking across a menstrual cycle. Heart rate and step count are commodity now, and chemistry is what these sell.
Four systems that act, then check. A wearable that intervenes during sleep and measures whether it helped, auditory stimulation that adapts through the night, autonomic regulation aimed at waking with no grogginess, and a digital twin tracking emotional and cognitive state as it shifts. Measurement alone has stopped being a product; the loop has to close.
Women's physiology is the commercial core. Five entries track the menstrual cycle or the hormones behind it: urine hormone testing read across a whole cycle, a wearable reading it through saliva spectroscopy, continuous hormone monitoring, and stress sensing tied explicitly to hormonal balance. It is a signal that changes daily, matters to the user, and has been poorly served by consumer devices built around steps.

Frequently asked questions
What are digital health technologies?
Digital health applications covers software and connected devices that act on a person's own physiology. It spans wearable biochemical sensing of hormones, sweat and saliva, closed-loop systems that regulate sleep or autonomic state, therapy and coaching delivered through text and conversation, clinical and cognitive tools, at-home tests read digitally, and connected fitness. Consumer health brands, clinics and employers are the buyers.
