Choosing the Right Wearable for your next Clinical Trial
So you have decided to begin collecting research data using some type of wearable device. The question becomes "which Wearable should you use"? Do you choose...
A) TZOA or
B) ADAMM?
And how do you make the choice? Does the Accuracy of the wearable matter or do you need a device that sets a Baseline specific to each individual?
What about Battery Life? How long do you want participants to wear the wearable before they need to recharge it? How do participants receive Training how to recharge the wearable?
What Data will need to be captured from the wearable and where will the data reside? How will you obtain the Data to reviewed? Can you review the Data in real-time?
In the coming months, these are a few questions which will need answers for pharma companies, clinical research companies and healthcare professionals trying to decrease time and costs while increasing the amount of real-time data collected for clinical research. Unfortunately, there is no app, no algorithm and no ONE wearable that works in all cases.
Each clinical trial's protocol will require examining several wearables before determine which one will work the best. And with each wearable device having over 12 main attributes to review (Display size, Battery Life, Heart Rate Sensor, etc.) this can become a time intensive task. But it doesn't have to be.
Pharmawearables has been logging wearables in their very own database for the past 3 years and currently has over 76 different wearables with each different attribute listed. By utilizing advanced filters we can quickly find the right wearable for your next clinical trial.
So should you use A) TZOA or B) ADAMM for your next Asthma clinical trial?
Just ask us and we'll tell you.
