Detailed Description

Functionality & Mechanism

PULSE for Research is a wearable data-contribution platform developed by the Center for Computational and Digital Health Innovation at Duke University. After enrollment, it connects to a participant's wearable device and collects health-related metrics automatically in the background, while participants authorize which categories of data to share through their device settings and app permissions.

Intended Use & Scope

PULSE is intended for volunteers who choose to contribute personal wearable data to a Duke-managed research registry. It does not diagnose, treat, or provide medical advice, and participants may choose which data to share, revoke permissions, or withdraw from the registry at any time.
