This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study enrolls healthy adults who are already part of a respiratory virus challenge study at the NIH. Participants wear a smartwatch and use a smartphone to track temperature, heart rate, coughs, and other health signals. The goal is to see if these devices can detect subtle changes that indicate infection, potentially leading to earlier diagnosis.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to wearable-based early detection tools for respiratory infections like flu and COVID-19.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study, not testing a treatment. The digital biomarkers may not prove reliable enough for real-world diagnosis.
