A Multimodal Wearable Platform for Heart Failure Disease Stratification
Sponsor: McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre
Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out if there are any patterns in the way people's bodies react to physical activities and their voices when they have heart failure, a disease where the heart cannot function sufficiently. To do this, the investigators will use a smartwatch that can measure multiple signals like the participant's heart rate and movement. Investigators will ask participants with and without heart failure to wear the Watch HOP (from HOP-Child Technologies Inc.) and sensors during physical tasks at their clinic visit at the McGill University Health Centre. Researchers will also record the participants' voices between their visits. The key signals can help find who is at risk for heart failure or develop new ways to monitor and treat it.
