Utility of the Ava Bracelet to Diagnose and Monitor Symptoms Potentially Related to COVID-19
*The Ava Bracelet is currently CE-marked according to MDD 93/42/EC for the purpose of measuring and displaying physiological parameters to facilitate conception and to provide general information on health and wellness to users. The device is listed with US FDA.
The Ava Bracelet is not approved for COVID-19 monitoring. This product is intended to support data collection and research during the COVID-19 pandemic but is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent COVID-19.
Our idea is to offer our bracelet at a significant discount to researchers recognizing the value these physiological datasets add to public health research of infectious diseases.
While the Ava Bracelet was designed to measure physiological changes across the menstrual cycle8,9, its sensors work across genders and age groups. We foresee our device as capable of providing relevant insights for men and women alike during this pandemic, including among those populations most at risk of developing serious complications.
The Ava Bracelet may be of particular interest to research or healthcare professionals who want to:
Some precedence for the novel use of wearable devices exists. Researchers from Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center implemented a continuous temperature sensor to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in China.10 By monitoring infected individuals’ temperature in real-time, healthcare professionals limited their in-person exposure to patients suffering from COVID-19 thereby reducing the possibility of transmission. The Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center also announced plans to use wearable sensors to monitor heart and respiratory rates in future COVID-19 patients, rolling out their protocol to other hospitals across China.
Designed to combine multi-parameter measurement into one device, the Ava Bracelet can leverage its real-time monitoring system to fight a novel health threat. We believe the simple but continuous monitoring of temperature, breathing and pulse rates could provide guidance around if and when people should seek medical care. Furthermore, the recorded physiological data could vastly improve our knowledge of COVID-19’s early signs and overall trajectory; when sharing their data in a clinical research trial, Ava Bracelet users can personally contribute to advancing science and shape our future response to COVID-19.
Users wear the Ava Bracelet on their wrist each night while sleeping. The bracelet measures:
