ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called the Validation Study of Bioelectronics, is looking at new sensors that can be worn on the body to see how safe and effective they are for healthy individuals. The sensors are designed to track various health behaviors, and the researchers want to make sure they are comfortable and function well when worn. The study is currently recruiting participants aged 18 to 99 who are in good health, meaning they do not have any serious illnesses.

If you join the study, you will wear these sensors for a short time and help researchers understand how well they work. To be eligible, you should not be pregnant, have any skin conditions that could be worsened by wearing the sensors, or have had allergic reactions to certain materials in the past. Participants will also need to be able to perform daily activities and participate in some moderate exercise for a short duration. This study is a great opportunity to contribute to research that could improve health monitoring technology in the future!

• • Healthy individuals (not known to suffer any significant illness relevant to the proposed study).
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • Pregnant or lactating.
• • History of active (clinically significant) skin disorders that make skin vulnerable to contact conventional electronic devices.
