Wearable Assisted Viral Evidence (WAVE) Study A Decentralized, Prospective Study Exploring the Relationship Between Passively-collected Data From Wearable Activity Devices and Respiratory Viral Infections
Purpose
The goal of this decentralized, observational study is to enroll and observe adults in the contingent United States during the 2023-2024 flu season. The main study objectives are to create a dataset of paired wearable data, self-reported symptoms, and respiratory viral infection (RVI) from PCR testing during the 2023-2024 flu season and to develop algorithm that is able to accurately classify asymptomatic and symptomatic RVI and understand the algorithm's performance metrics.
