Novel wearable’s physiologic data inform real-time on-duty firefighter cardiovascular risk assessment guiding future strategies for earlier interventions to lower adverse cardiovascular outcome

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this stusy is to collect physiologic data from a single chest wall patch wearable and hydration metrics from a skin patch sensor to inform on- and off-duty firefighter CV risk assessment in real-time. These data will a) inform individual firefighters with health metrics for real-time risk assessment, which may motivate behavioral change; and b) guide future investigations, by expanding data collection and processing, that will inform subsequent implementation strategies to decrease CV risk, and ultimately death.
