Wearables for Carotid Artery Stenosis - Clinical Trial

What is the Purpose of this Study?

We are doing this study is to see if we can predict carotid artery function using wearable technology (for example, a FitBit®).

What is the Condition Being Studied?

Carotid Artery Stenosis

Who Can Participate in the Study?

We are enrolling 2 different types of candidates in this study:

  • Cohort 1: Healthy adults ages 18+ who do not have any ongoing medical conditions that require regular medical care and/or routine medication (these participants will be the comparison group).
  • Cohort 2: Adults ages 18+ who are diagnosed with carotid artery stenosis and are undergoing carotid artery revascularization.

Age Group
Adults

What is Involved?

If you agree to participate, you will be asked to wear a FitBit for 18 months. You will also have up to four ultrasounds taken at the following times after your carotic artery procedure:

  • 1 month
  • 6 months
  • 12 months
  • 18 months

Data from these ultrasounds will be collected and compared to the data recorded on the FitBit.
