“At the initial study visit, 2 apps (Garmin and Labfront) were downloaded onto the participant’s smartphone to facilitate deidentified passive (raw sensor) and active data collection for the daily survey. The Garmin app facilitated data collection from the smartwatch sensors. The Labfront [1] app is a research platform that collects and organizes the Garmin smartwatch data and enabled the study team to monitor adherence and data collection in real time and remotely through a user-friendly study dashboard. The Labfront app was also used to deliver the daily EMA surveys.”
