# VITALS-WATCH

**Apple Watch and wearable vital-sign flare detection for autoimmune disease**

## What it does

VITALS-WATCH analyzes longitudinal wearable data to estimate autoimmune flare concern from:

- heart rate
- heart rate variability
- oxygen saturation
- step count
- circadian changes
- Bayesian change-point signals across channels

It returns:

- flare score
- risk level
- change-point summary
- baseline summary
- recommendation

## Why it matters

Wearables can capture changes before a patient feels clearly worse or before labs are reviewed. In autoimmune care, that opens a real clinical question: can daily physiology identify flare earlier than symptom recall alone? VITALS-WATCH makes that hypothesis explicit and testable.

## Run

```bash
python3 vitals_watch.py
```
