Wearable monitoring to catch lung fibrosis flare-ups early

This trial is testing whether a wearable wristband called Bora Band® can help catch early signs of serious flare-ups in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (a progressive lung condition that causes scarring). You would wear the device at home for a year while your regular medical team continues your normal care. The researchers want to see if the vital sign data collected by the device can predict when a flare-up is about to happen, before you even feel symptoms or need to see your doctor.

People with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis can have sudden, serious flare-ups that are hard to predict and can be life-threatening. This trial exists to see if continuous monitoring of vital signs at home could catch warning signs early enough to alert doctors before a flare-up becomes severe, potentially helping prevent hospitalizations.
