FAQ

How does it work?

With an activity tracker or smart watch, all of a participant's activities are easily and automatically recorded. As a researcher, you then have real-time, remote access to the data. Additionally, participants can track their disease burden and daily activities with just a few clicks via the Healthy Chronos app.

Why Real World Data?

Illness and its consequences are primarily experienced at home. However, most data collection in healthcare is limited to the clinical environment. Smartwatches and a smart diary app now make it easy to collect data in the home setting as well. This way, you get a broader view of the disease burden, daily activities, and quality of life of participants in your research.

How much time does it take to set up and implement Healthy Chronos?

You can get started with Healthy Chronos in just 2 steps:

Invite a participant to your study.
The participant links the wearable to Healthy Chronos.

Once the wearable is linked to the Healthy Chronos platform, everything is updated automatically and in real-time.

How do you handle participant data?

All health information is stored on servers in the EU.
Only participants and researchers have access to this data.
Zodra een deelnemer niet meer deelneemt en de onderzoeksgegevens veilig zijn gesteld wordt alle data verwijderd.

Which wearables do you support?

We currently support all Fitbit and Garmin wearable models, and through integration with Google Fit, it is possible to link other wearable models.

What does it cost?

The cost depends on the type of research, the number of participants, and the duration.
