Heart rate monitor accuracy for overweight young adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study checks if wearable heart rate monitors are accurate for young adults who are overweight or obese. By testing these devices, researchers hope to help people track their heart health during daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial uses wearable devices to measure how much energy you burn while exercising on a bike. It helps researchers improve how they track energy use in healthy people.
This study tests whether a smartwatch can accurately measure how fast you breathe. Researchers will compare the smartwatch's readings to medical-grade equipment to see if smartwatches could be useful for health monitoring.
This trial checks whether a new computer algorithm that uses an accelerometer (movement sensor) can accurately estimate your body’s activity and energy use. It compares the phone/wearable movement data to results from a special way of measuring how your body uses energy.
This trial tests if a smartwatch app can help people who are overweight and have slightly high blood pressure, sugar, or cholesterol improve their heart health. If you qualify, you'll use a smartwatch to track your activity and get coaching.
This study tests whether wearing a fitness tracker and getting health coaching by phone or video can help adults with central obesity become more active and improve their heart health. It lasts for 6 months and is run by the University of Hong Kong.
This study tests a mobile health app to help African American women with overweight or obesity in specific DC and Maryland neighborhoods improve their heart health. Participants will use the app and wear a wrist device to track activity, with the goal of reducing heart disease risk.
