New study at Murdoch Children's Research Institute in Melbourne has progressed from collecting reliable data to actually testing a combined AI and wearable technology as an early warning system to catch potential infections during cancer treatment in children.

The MCRI recently announced that the WEARABLES study team, led by Professor Rachel Conyers, is set to try out the Apple Watch and a custom-designed application to detect early signs of infection among children undergoing chemotherapy at The Royal Children's Hospital.
