About this study

Official title: Developing Health Care Service System Based on Participatory Big Data

"Increased health risks and diseases are believed to be caused by multilevel interactions of genetic and environmental factors (including lifestyle habits). Considering the recent advancements in genetic analysis, wearable devices, and big data analysis techniques, collecting and analyzing personal genetic information, lifelogs, and environmental data and predicting the exact health risks of individuals could be possible.

Read the detailed description

These changes enable the development of healthcare solutions that allow users to actively engage in healthcare and provide appropriate care measures to sufficiently delay or prevent chronic diseases, thereby minimizing the financial losses of the individuals and the society. In particular, chronic diseases such as metabolic syndrome can be prevented or delayed through healthy lifestyle habits. Controversy regarding the effectiveness of using wearable devices and mobile health applications for maintaining lifestyle habits and losing weight exists. Additionally, a study assessing the health of the participants and the disease prevention care for the participants using the genetic data and the lifelog data by the wearable device has not been conducted yet. Therefore, the objective is to operate a lifestyle correction program for examinees who visited a family medicine and health checkup center to develop a user-participation health and disease prevention care system using genetic data and lifelog data. From adults who visited a family medicine and health checkup center, the following should be performed: (1) collect a variety of clinical information, including lifestyle data, physical information, metabolic parameters, genetic information, and metagenomes, which can affect chronic diseases; (2) establish a service model that combines lifestyle data, examination data, and genetic data and analyzes and identifies one's health level through a smartphone application; and (3) examine the effects on the metabolic parameters, lifestyle data, and metagenome (gut microbiome) after using the device (smart healthcare).This pilot study aimed to provide personalized "my data" by linking clinical data and personal lifestyle patterns of the participants who visited a family medicine and examination center.

From adults who visited a family medicine and health check-up center, the following should be performed:

  1. Collect a variety of clinical information, including lifestyle data, physical information, metabolic parameters, genetic information, and metagenomes, which can affect chronic diseases
  2. Establish a service model that combines lifestyle data, examination data, and genetic data and analyzes and identifies one's health level through a smartphone application
  3. Examine the effects on the metabolic parameters, lifestyle data, and metagenome (gut microbiome) after using the device (smart healthcare) "

  • Wearing a Wearable device (Fitbit inspire HR)Device

    'Wearing a wearable device (the smart watch) for 8 weeks

    The smart watch to be used in this study is Fitbit Inspire HR. This is a device that has a high worldwide use rate and has active research on its accuracy. It is worn like a normal watch, and it can check heart rate, exercise level, energy consumed, and sleep quality. The values can be checked in real-time on a smartphone application.'

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in metabolic parameter (HOMA-IR) at 8 weeks after smart healthcare intervention

    Changes in HOMA-IR (calculated using fasting glucose and insulin level) at 8 weeks after smart healthcare intervention.

    Measured: 8 weeks after smart healthcare intervention

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in other metabolic parameters, inflammatory parameters, metagenome related to the gut microbiome, and sleep quality, diet, and exercise at 8 weeks after smart healthcare intervention

    Changes in lipid profile (total cholesterol, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C levels) at 8 weeks after smart healthcare intervention.

    Measured: 8 weeks after smart healthcare intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Wearing a Wearable device (Fitbit inspire HR) in people with Metabolic Syndrome, run by Gangnam Severance Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 May 2020. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jiwon Lee, Professor (82-2-2019-3480, INDI5645@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in metabolic parameter (HOMA-IR) at 8 weeks after smart healthcare intervention (time frame: 8 weeks after smart healthcare intervention). 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 7 May 2020.
