How Wearable Technology has Revolutionized Health Research 8 How Wearable Technology has Revolutionized Health Research 8 Research :: Measurement “Accurate and minute measurement seems to the non- scientific imagination, a less lofty and dignified work than looking for something new. But nearly all the grandest discoveries of science have been but the rewards of accurate measurement and patient long-continued labour in the minute sifting of numerical results.” — Baron William Thomson Kelvin, 1871
