Use of Wearables to Detect Infections in Kidney Transplant Recipients

Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Kidney Transplant Infection
Registration Number
NCT06364618
Lead Sponsor
Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine
Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to develop a machine learning algorithm for early detection of infections in kidney transplant recipients using data recorded by wearable digital health technologies.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. What are the biometric data pattern changes in impending infections?

2. What accuracy the machine learning algorithm can achieve?

Participants will be given/use their own wearable device that will record biometric data. Any infection event will be recorded and an algorithm will be trained to recognize changes in biometric data preceding symptomatic infection.
