Wearable device

In Trial design & structure

Also known as: digital health technology, DHT

A wearable device collects health data continuously while a participant goes about normal life, such as activity, heart rate, or sleep. It can produce far richer data than periodic clinic measurements. To be used for an endpoint it must be validated for that purpose, with defined handling of gaps and device failures.
