Researchers want to understand whether wearing a smartwatch—specifically a Fitbit Charge 6—can help predict your risk of heart disease or help manage existing heart conditions. You'll wear the device continuously for six months while completing brief health surveys online, and you'll visit the clinic three times for full heart health checkups. The goal is to learn whether the data collected by wearables, combined with information about your lifestyle and mental health, can give doctors a better picture of your cardiovascular risk.
Many people with heart disease don't know they're at risk until it's too late. Researchers believe that continuous data from smartwatches—tracking things like heart rate, sleep, and activity—might help identify people at risk earlier and help those with existing heart conditions stay healthier.

You will receive a Fitbit Charge 6 smartwatch to wear continuously for six months. At baseline, three months, and six months, you'll visit the clinic for a cardiovascular health assessment—they'll check your heart health and ask about your lifestyle, mood, and sleep. Between visits, you'll complete brief online surveys once per week about your symptoms, sleep, alcohol use, stress, and fatigue, plus one longer sleep survey each month. The smartwatch will automatically send your activity, heart rate, and sleep data to researchers throughout the study.
