Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is an observational COVID-19 study that uses wearable health monitoring technology to follow COVID-19 positive individuals to monitor persistent symptoms and any potential long-term complications or cardiovascular and behavioral impacts from the disease.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Detailed Description

    Participants will wear a Biostrap wristband device that captures high-fidelity, raw photoplethysmography (PPG) waveforms and collects important indicators of heart and mental health, including heart rate, heart rate variability, pulse points, oxygen saturation and sleep patterns. Biometric data will be collected and participants will be alerted if any measurements are outside their normal range.

    Researchers are recruiting 100 participants who were diagnosed with COVID-19.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Incidence of major cardiovascular events [12 Months]

      Including arrhythmia occurrence or recurrence, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy and ischemic stroke.

    2. Incidence of atrial arrhythmia [12 Months]

      Including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia

    3. Mental health effect of COVID-19 measured by incidence of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) using Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) Scale [12 Months]

      Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) Scale includes 7 questions to be answered by the patient, each answer is scored from 0 to 3, and the scale range is from 0 to 21, with a higher number representing more severe GAD level

    4. Mental health effect of COVID-19 measured by incidence of depression using Beck Depression Fast Screen Scale [12 Months]

      Beck Depression Fast Screen Scale includes 21 questions to be answered by the patient scored from 0 to 3, and the scale range is from 0 to above 40, with a higher number representing more severe depression level

    5. Mental health effect of COVID-19 measured by incidence of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) using the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist- Standard Form (PCL-S) scale [12 Months]

      Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist- Standard Form (PCL-S) Scale includes 20 questions to be answered by the patient scored from 1 to 5. Total symptom severity score (ranging 0-80) can be obtained by summing the scores for each of the 20 items. Higher number represents more likely that the patient has PTSD.

    6. Mental health effect of COVID-19 measured by incidence of substance abuse using a baseline use of alcohol survey [12 Months]

      Baseline use of alcohol survey includes ten questions to be answered by the patient scored from 0 to 4 with a higher number representing increased alcohol consumption

    7. Mental health effect of COVID-19 measured by incidence of substance abuse using a baseline use of drugs survey [12 Months]

      Baseline use of drugs survey includes ten questions to be answered by the patient scored from 0 to 4 with a higher number representing increased drug use

    8. Mental health effect of COVID-19 measured by incidence of substance abuse using a baseline use of nicotine products survey [12 Months]

      Baseline use of nicotine products survey includes 4 questions to be answered by the patient to find out which nicotine products the patient is using if any and how many cigarettes they're smoking per day
