Summary
Researchers are testing whether combining data from wearables and remote monitors can predict a sudden health decline within 72 hours. The study will follow 10,000 adults aged 18 to 90 and collect signals such as heart rhythm, oxygen levels, temperature, gait, sleep, voice, and cough. Instead of looking at one vital sign alone, the team will track how these signals change together over time. The goal is to see if a multimodal digital biomarker model can accurately flag impending deterioration.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- multimodal digital biomarker monitoring using wearables and remote devices
- What this could lead to
- If it works, doctors could get an early warning system that flags a patient's decline days before it becomes obvious, using everyday wearables.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove that acting on the alerts saves lives. Wearable signals can be noisy, and a model that performs well in one group may not work for everyone.

Who is studied
FUSION-72 will enroll an adult longitudinal cohort for prospective evaluation of multimodal digital biomarkers associated with acute clinical deterioration. Participants will undergo protocol-specified collection of wearable and remote digital measurements, including ECG, PPG, oxygen saturation, temperature, gait, sleep, voice, cough, and participant-reported symptoms. The study is designed to evaluate temporal and cross-signal relationships and their ability to predict protocol-defined clinical deterioration within 72 hours.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 through 90 years at enrollment. * Able to provide informed consent, or have a legally authorized representative provide consent when permitted by the applicable protocol and regulations. * Able and willing to participate in prospective longitudinal digital biomarker monitoring. * Able to use, or permit application of, study-authorized wearable or remote-monitoring technologies. * Able and willing to provide protocol-specified physiologic, behavioral, acoustic, and symptom data. * Expected to have sufficient follow-up to permit evaluation of the 72-hour prediction endpoint. * Willing to comply with study procedures and data-collection requirements. Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to provide informed consent or otherwise participate through an approved consent process. * Clinical or technical circumstances that prevent reliable collection of the required multimodal digital biomarker data. * Inability or unwillingness to comply with study monitoring procedures. * Enrollment in another study that, in the investigator's judgment, would materially interfere with FUSION-72 data collection or endpoint assessment. * Any circumstance that, in the investigator's judgment, would make participation inappropriate or compromise the integrity of the study.
