PROVIDEMUS
Researchers from the Quality of Life Lab at the University of Geneva (Switzerland) are looking for volunteers for a longitudinal study starting in 2024.
The study requires, on average, 45 minutes of your time per month over a maximum of two years of participation. It will imply mostly passive data collection using a smartphone and a smartwatch.
It will focus on assessing patterns in repetitive behavior and cognitive performance in different contexts of everyday life.
Each participant will receive a brand new Withings Smartwatch ⌚ for participating.
The study will require participants to wear that smartwatch daily and to dedicate between half and two hours to answering questionnaires and cognitive games on a mobile application every three months.
This study protocol was approved by the Commission Cantonale d’Éttique de la recherche (CCER) on the 25 of July 2023.
This is a joint initiative between the QoL Lab and the Cognitive Aging Lab, supported by swissuniversities.ch AGE-INT.
