Abstract Details

2021, Master of Sciences (Engineering), Case Western Reserve University, EECS - Computer and Information Sciences.
Wearable Data has become prominent in the field of digital health due to its wide variety of data categories, high availability and ease of acquisition. A well-designed platform to recruit participants and collect their behavioral survey and wearable data should be easy to monitor and cost-efficient, as well as secure and HIPAA compliant. In this study, we developed a full-stack platform for data-driven digital health studies, the HeartBit Platform, consisting of a mobile application and a backend infrastructure. The platform implements Quality Control protocols to alert researchers of any issues, utilizes automated programs that can be conveniently supervised and employs state of the art security to ensure privacy and data security. We demonstrated the application of the HeartBit Platform on two human studies, in which we recruited 231 participants contributing to 10,158 behavioral surveys and 70,761 wearable data files of various categories to date.
