Ametris Digital Data Summit Atlanta 2026
February 23-25 | ATLANTA, GA
Driving Adoption of Digital Measures in Clinical Research and Development
The Ametris Digital Data Summit is a one-of-a-kind scientific event focusing on the practical application of wearable digital health technology (DHT) in clinical research. Since 2022, ADDS has brought together multidisciplinary leaders across the digital health ecosystem to explore the latest research, case studies, and innovations driving the adoption of sensor-based measures in clinical research and drug development.
ADDS 2026 will feature expert-led presentations and collaborative discussions to address topics including physical activity and mobility, sleep and scratch, AI, regulatory insights, methodology, and pharma innovation. We invite scientists, public health researchers, clinicians, regulators, and technology experts to join us Feb 23-25 in Atlanta, GA for this important event. Together, we can address opportunities and challenges facing broader adoption of digital measures in clinical research.

Why Attend ADDS Atlanta 2026?
ADDS is your chance to learn from, network with, and develop collaborations with colleagues from a variety of disciplines, including clinicians, data scientists, clinical trialists, digital health technology specialists, and public health researchers.
Client Case Studies
Panel Discussions
Networking Forums
Scientific Poster Session
Partner Exhibits
ALS Pre-Conference Workshop
Monday, February 10th, 1:00 PM CT
While many have demonstrated the potential of digital measures, there is still a substantial gap to their use as primary or key secondary endpoints in ALS clinical trials. To make progress towards this finish line, ADDS 2025 will include a focused pre-conference workshop with global KOLs in ALS trial design.
Workshop attendees will gather to discuss open research and methodological questions, needs and barriers in ALS clinical development, and current evidence gaps with the goal of developing an action plan, timeline and establish collaborative efforts.
ActiGraph Headquarters Tour
Wednesday, February 12th, 3:30 PM CT
Our team is proud to host the ActiGraph Digital Data Summit in Pensacola Beach, FL, just minutes away from our company headquarters in downtown Pensacola. This year, we’re excited to invite interested ADDS attendees behind-the-scenes!
Join us for a trolley ride through historic downtown Pensacola (the oldest city in America), and then tour the ActiGraph office space. You'll have the opportunity to meet team members and learn more about both our company history and our future as we pioneer the digital transformation of clinical research.
Scientific Poster Session
During ADDS Atlanta 2026, Ametris will host a scientific poster session where selected researchers will have the opportunity to present their work with digital health technology (DHT) to this diverse audience of digital health leaders and innovators.
What Did Attendees Say About ADDS?
It's nice to have a conference that has a very specific focus, because we can dive much deeper into that and really get into the meat of the data. You can get into a much deeper understanding of the particular topic as well as some of the advancements in the field.
Ariel Dowling, PhD
Head of Sensing and Measurement | Takeda
It's a perfect thing when you can come to a conference, and you can meet people and immediately realize that you have things in common and can help each other; to meet other people who are really in different fields, but experiencing some of the same issues and develop potential collaborations across the board.
Jonathan Soslow
Pediatric Cardiologist | Vanderbuilt University
An event like this brings talent that you normally are not exposed to, and as you see these presentations, you're shocked as to how much innovation is out there.
Peter Fernandes
CEO | Bellerophon Therapeutics
I think a lot of us do research in the technology and how we can apply it to our specific research interests or populations, but learning how to cross those boundaries between clinical populations is important.
Jennifer Schrack, PhD
Professor of Epidemiology and Director | Center on Aging and Health at the Johns Hopkins University
