Evaluation of the Clinical Benefit of the Aktiia Blood Pressure Monitoring for Early Awareness of Hypertension and Prediction of Cardiovascular Risk

Because Aktiia S.A. has been the first-ever company to put in the market an Optical Blood Pressure Monitoring device, there is a need for Aktiia S.A. to correlate for the first time continual Blood Pressure monitoring and the evolution of environmental and health factors to improve hypertension management.

High Intensity Training for Patients with Anxiety

The aim of the current project is to examine the effects of high intensity exercise (by using 1x4 intervals) to reduce symptoms of anxiety in patients in mental health care. The expected benefits for patients are positive health effects, by improving physical fitness and reducing psychological symptom burden. The patients will have the opportunity to learn to use physical activity as a specific measure to be used in their own lives and be a source of coping. Furthermore, knowledge about physical activity and mental health may be applicable in mental health care as a part of a treatment plan.

Effects of Sleep Body Temperature on Body Composition

This will be a crossover controlled trial designed to recruit 40 participants, who will be divided into two groups of 20 subjects each. The participants will be randomly assigned to either Group A or Group B. Group A will receive the sleep electric blanket intervention for a period of 7 days, while Group B will serve as the control group without any additional intervention. After the intervention period, there will be a washout period of 7 days to ensure that any effects of the intervention have subsided before the crossover. Following the washout period, the groups will switch roles: Group B will then receive the sleep electric blanket intervention, and Group A will become the control group. This second phase will also last for 7 days, preceded and followed by the same assessment procedures as the initial phase. This design will allow for a comparison of the intervention's effects against a control period within the same group of participants, enhancing the study's internal validity.
