About this study

Official title: Advanced, Bio-Integrated, and Cloud-Enabled Sensors for Early Diagnosis of Respiratory Infections in the Home Setting

This study will monitor physical bio-markers such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature to detect potential respiratory infections.

Read the detailed description

The advanced, bio-integrated wireless sensor (ADAM) that provides a comprehensive assessment of cardiopulmonary health. The technology employs advanced low-power operation, in-sensor analytics, and cloud integration. The sensor's novel soft mechanics allows for comfortable placement on the suprasternal notch, a location of unique anatomical importance, to collect both core vitals (heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, and physical activity including sleep quality) and novel respiratory digital biomarkers (cough count, swallowing, throat clearing and respiratory effort). The investigators will deploy this system in a cohort of high-risk patients for respiratory infection in a home setting to predict for respiratory infections prior to clinical deterioration.

The investigators aim to capture data on 122 study subjects over the course of 52 weeks of continuous wear or the investigator's device to thoroughly characterize physiological data and diagnosis of respiratory infections. Data from standard of care appointments, diagnostic testing or imaging, or treatment will be collected from the patient medical record to validate device data.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Efficacy of wearable device to detect respiratory infection parameters: cough count

    Device data measuring cough count. Captured by analysis of peak acclerometer graphing and duration in meters per second squared (m/s2).

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Monitoring of respiratory infection symptoms, WURSS-11 Survey

    WURSS-11 survey. https://www.fammed.wisc.edu/files/webfm-uploads/documents/research/wurss-11.pdf The WURSS-11 survey will be conducted on a weekly basis by study subjects for the duration of the study (up to 52 weeks).

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by Northwestern University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Efficacy of wearable device to detect respiratory infection parameters: cough count (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Feb 2023.
