Oura smart ring to be used in weight-loss outcomes trial
· Reported by pharmaphorum
Smart ring manufacturer Oura has launched a clinical trial to see if data collected from its wearable devices can help researchers better understand the physiological changes associated with obesity treatment. The SMART-BMI study will enrol around 260 subjects with overweight or obesity (a BMI of 27 or more) who are scheduled for either bariatric surgery or GLP-1 agonist-based pharmacological treatment for weight loss. It will be run at UC San Diego Health and will use the Oura Ring to collect data on measures like sleep, heart rate, and physical activity.
