About this study

Official title: Digital Health Technologies for Infectious Disease Monitoring

This study will reach out to patients who have undergone diagnostic testing for the following respiratory illnesses from January 1st, 2018 to July 9th, 2023: COVID-19, Influenza, Rhinovirus, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus. This study aims to develop a forecasting model to predict infection onset prior to symptom onset using wearable device data and known symptom onset and test dates.

Read the detailed description

DUHS patients who have diagnostic testing for Influenza, COVID-19, Respiratory syncytial virus, and Rhinovirus testing within the past 5 years will be initially screened for an email address. Participants will learn about this study via email with a link to complete the survey. A Study ID will be generated for all individuals with an email.

Participants will be asked to complete an e-consent via a REDCap survey. If participants have questions, they are provided with study contact information via e-mail. Participants will complete the survey which will have questions on prior symptoms and device ownership (anticipated time to complete: 5 minutes). If the participant owns one of the following wearable devices (Fitbit, Garmin, or Apple Watch), they will be sent to a redirect URL to login into their device account (for Fitbit or Garmin) or be provided with instructions to export their Healthkit data and dump their data into a unique Strongbox link (for Apple Watch). If participants choose to contribute their wearable device data to the study and the data obtained pass through data quality thresholds, they will receive compensation. There is no compensation for survey completion. The investigators will ask participants if they wish to be re-contacted for future studies related to this project.

The investigators will collect endpoint data values from the wearable. These data will be used to estimate daily activity amounts and intensity (i.e., exercise and walking), standing, sleep amounts, sleep quality, heart rate variability, SpO2, respiratory rate, and heart rate. All of the wearable device data will be identified using a Study ID.

The investigators will use statistical and machine learning models to develop personalized "baseline" models of health and detect anomalies that can help in identifying COVID-19 infection. The investigators will validate and test the sensitivity and specificity of our mode for detecting respiratory infection vs. no infection against symptom surveys and diagnostic testing as ground truth. The model testing and validation will be done separately for each brand of device and will be further modified according to the type of respiratory infection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Develop a forecasting model to predict infection onset prior to symptom onset using the amount of time between known symptom onset and test dates

    Known symptom onset and test dates will serve to validate the model

    Measured: 18 Months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Determine if there are signal differences that can differentiate the type of respiratory infection (e.g., COVID-19 vs. Influenza)

    Measured: 18 Months

  2. Percentage of missingness in the wearable device data

    Used to determine the performance of the forecasting model.

    Measured: 18 Months

  3. Determine the performance of the forecasting model on a new viral strain through transfer learning

    Measured: 18 Months

  4. Determine if there are physiological differences between initial infection and reinfection

    Measured: 18 Months

  5. Determine if there are physiological differences between varying respiratory infections over time

    Measured: 18 Months

  6. Determine the performance of the forecasting model based on the severity of symptoms

    Measured: 18 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COVID-19 Respiratory Infection and Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections, run by Duke 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 3 Jul 2024. 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?

Develop a forecasting model to predict infection onset prior to symptom onset using the amount of time between known symptom onset and test dates (time frame: 18 Months). 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 3 Jul 2024.
