Assessment and Prediction of Cardiovascular Health and Disease Risk Using Longitudinal Wearable Biometrics: a Prospective Cohort Study.
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
This prospective, observational cohort study will evaluate the associations between wearable-derived biometrics and cardiovascular health, quantified by the American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8 framework, as well as related cardiovascular risk factors. The study aims to determine whether wearable biometrics can support the assessment of cardiovascular health and cardiovascular disease risk, both when used in isolation and in combination with point-of-care assessments.

Treatments
Patients with cardiovascular disease and healthy individuals
A single prospective cohort will be recruited, comprising predominantly individuals with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Patients with mild, moderate and severe ASCVD will be recruited, including patients from cardiac rehabilitation physiotherapy classes and post-operative percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients. A sub-group with good cardiovascular health - without diagnosed cardiovascular disease - will also be recruited as part of this cohort to facilitate analysis across the full spectrum of cardiovascular health and development of statistical models for cardiovascular health assessment.
