first two years, Snyder and
several other volunteers had
minor cold-like illnesses
that began with higher-than-
normal readings for heart rate
and skin temperature — and
correlated with blood tests
showing inflammation was
on the rise before any snif-
fling.
In addition, the Stanford
team detected variations in
heart rate patterns that could
tell the difference between
study participants with what’s
called insulin resistance — a
risk factor for Type 2 diabetes
— and healthy people.
No, don’t try to self-di-
agnose with your fitness
tracker any time soon. The
findings in Thursday’s report
are intriguing but the study
is highly experimental,

reported.
It was that phenomenon
that alerted Snyder, the
longest-tested
participant,
“that something wasn’t quite
right” on one of his frequent
long flights.
Landing in Norway for
a family vacation, Snyder
noticed his oxygen levels
didn’t return to normal like
they always had before.
Plus his heart rate was much
higher than normal, which
sometimes signals infection.
Sure enough, soon a
low-grade fever left him
dragging. He feared Lyme
because two weeks before
going abroad, Snyder had
helped his brother build a
fence in a tick-infested rural
area in Massachusetts. He
persuaded a Norwegian
doctor to prescribe the appro-
priate antibiotic, and post-va-
cation testing back home
confirmed the diagnosis.

But a first step is learning
what’s normal for different
people under different condi-
tions.
The Stanford team is
collecting reams of data —
as many as 250,000 daily
measurements
— from
volunteers who wear up to
eight activity monitors or
other sensors of varying sizes
that measure heart rate, blood
oxygen, skin temperature,
sleep, calories expended,
exercise and even exposure to
radiation. That’s paired with
occasional laboratory tests to
measure blood chemistry and
some genetic information.
An initial finding: Blood
oxygen levels decrease with
rising altitudes during plane
flights, in turn triggering
fatigue. But toward the end
of long flights, oxygen begins
rising again, possibly as

He envisions one day
