MyHeart Counts: Stanford Mobile Cardiovascular Health Study 3.0
Trial ID: NCT04183010
Purpose
MyHeart Counts is a smartphone-based mobile cardiovascular health research study. It will use
the mobile health capabilities of smartphones and wearables to assess daily activity measures
of the general public and compare these to measures of cardiovascular health - risk factors
and fitness. How people divide their time among exercise, sedentary behavior, and sleep all
affect cardiovascular health, yet largely go unmeasured. These can now be measured with
sensors in phones or wearable devices as we have shown on iOS. With the large number of
smartphone users addressable with a HIPAA complaint iOS & Android platform, the investigators
aim to collect activity and cardiovascular health data on many more subjects than in prior
studies as well as provide much more quantitative data on type, duration, and intensity of
daily activities. It also provides a platform to investigate methods to help participants
increase heart-healthy activities. The study also includes a randomized controlled trial on
physical activity. The overall goal is to develop an extensive source of data to help inform
future cardiovascular health guidelines.
