Continuous Cardiorespiratory Monitoring in Cystic Fibrosis

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Cystic Fibrosis
Interventions
Device: Wearable device
Registration Number
NCT04489186
Lead Sponsor
Byteflies
Brief Summary

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a disease without a primary cure that requires lifelong care and is characterized by pulmonary exacerbations (PEx). Wearable devices could provide a way for long-term monitoring of disease progression and early signs of PEx to intervene as early as possible, thereby improving long-term outcomes.

This in-hospital feasibility study will assess the ability of Byteflies Sensor Dots to collect relevant cardiorespiratory data in people with CF and its compatibility with clinical workflows, 2) identify candidate digital biomarkers, and 3) collect user feedback from patients and healthcare providers.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Sensor Dot usabilityUp to 24 hours

Assessed via user (healthcare professional and patient) surveys.

Sensor Dot data qualityUp to 24 hours

Evaluated by visual examination of recorded electrocardiography (ECG), bioimpedance (bioZ), and accelerometry (ACC) data.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Screen for candidate digital biomarkers in CFUp to 24 hours

Evaluate correlations between the recorded vital sign data (Sensor Dot) and CF severity scores derived from routine pulmonary function testing (PFT, based on Global Lung Function Initiative) and PEx.

Quality of calculated vital signs: heart rateUp to 24 hours

Compare Sensor Dot heart rate (derived from ECG) in beats-per-minute against heart rate as measured by standard hospital equipment.

Quality of calculated vital signs: respiratory rateUp to 24 hours

Compare Sensor Dot respiratory rate (derived from bioZ) in breaths-per-minute against respiratory rate as measured by standard hospital equipment.

Cough detectionUp to 24 hours

Assess if cough events can be derived from the wearable data, as compared to self-reported outcomes.
