Data Preprocessing Techniques for AI and Machine Learning Readiness: Scoping Review of Wearable Sensor Data in Cancer Care

Abstract

While wearable sensors are gaining traction in cancer care, realizing their full potential hinges on the ability to reliably translate raw outputs into high-quality data suitable for AI/ML applications. This review found that researchers are using various preprocessing techniques to address this challenge, but there remains a lack of standardized best practices. Our findings suggest a pressing need to develop and adopt uniform data quality and preprocessing workflows of wearable sensor data that can support the breadth of cancer research and varied patient populations. Given the diverse preprocessing techniques identified in the literature, there is an urgency for a framework that can guide researchers and clinicians in preparing wearable sensor data for AI/ML applications. For the scoping review as well as our research, we propose a general framework for preprocessing wearable sensor data, designed to be adaptable across different disease settings, moving beyond cancer care.
