NCT ID NCT07290179
First seen Jan 03, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study tests whether a smartwatch can automatically detect when parents and children eat or drink, both in a lab and during daily life. Thirty-five parent-child pairs will wear the watch and use phone prompts to log meals, while video recordings confirm actual eating. The goal is to see if the watch is accurate and easy to use, which could lead to better diet tracking without manual logging.
