Study to evaluate how behavioral and sensor data from wearables and blood tests can be leveraged to help individuals better assess and manage their metabolic health

这项研究旨在评估如何利用可穿戴设备和血液测试的行为和传感器数据来帮助个人更好地评估和管理其代谢健康

SECAUCUS, N.J., Jan. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fitbit and Quest Diagnostics (NYSE: DGX), the world's leading provider of diagnostic information services, today announced a collaboration to study the potential of wearable devices to improve metabolic health, which influences risk of developing several diseases, including diabetes and heart disease..

新泽西州塞考克斯（SECAUCUS），2024年1月17日/PRNewswire/--全球领先的诊断信息服务提供商Fitbit and Quest Diagnostics（纽约证券交易所：DGX）今天宣布合作研究可穿戴设备改善代谢健康的潜力，代谢健康会影响患糖尿病和心脏病等多种疾病的风险。。

The Wearables for Metabolic Health (WEAR-ME) pilot study will pair behavioral and biometric data from Fitbit devices with health insights from Quest Diagnostics' laboratory tests to explore ways data can be combined and analyzed to improve the assessment and management of metabolic health and help to inform the prevention of disease..

代谢健康可穿戴设备（WEAR-ME）试点研究将Fitbit设备的行为和生物特征数据与Quest Diagnostics实验室测试的健康见解相结合，探索数据组合和分析的方法，以改进代谢健康的评估和管理，并帮助预防疾病。。

The study aims to evaluate the effect of wearables on users' behaviors as assessed based on objective laboratory test results. While data shows wearables can favorably influence users' modifiable behaviors, such as diet, exercise and sleep, research on health outcomes by objective measures is less established..

该研究旨在根据客观的实验室测试结果评估可穿戴设备对用户行为的影响。虽然数据显示可穿戴设备可以有利地影响用户的可改变行为，如饮食、运动和睡眠，但通过客观测量对健康结果的研究还不太成熟。。

'This study aligns with our goal at Quest to empower people to take control of their health, with convenient access to more than 75 lab tests with physician oversight, but without the doctor visit,' said Richard Adams, Vice President and General Manager of Consumer-Initiated Testing at Quest, which includes the company's consumer-initiated testing platform at questhealth.com.

Quest消费者自主测试副总裁兼总经理理查德·亚当斯（Richard Adams）说：“这项研究符合我们在Quest的目标，即让人们能够控制自己的健康，在医生的监督下，可以方便地进行75多项实验室测试，但不需要医生的访问。”。

'By teaming up, Quest and Fitbit will harness laboratory testing to better understand the type of information that motivates people to make healthy choices that ultimately improve their health.'.

“通过合作，Quest和Fitbit将利用实验室测试来更好地了解激励人们做出最终改善健康的健康选择的信息类型。”。

The IRB approved study will invite approximately 1,500 existing Fitbit users to join and consent to share three months of their Fitbit data. They will also be given the opportunity to receive laboratory testing at no cost using a panel of blood tests specifically designed to assess metabolic health, including blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides.

IRB批准的研究将邀请大约1500名现有Fitbit用户加入并同意分享他们三个月的Fitbit数据。他们还将有机会免费接受实验室检测，使用专门设计用于评估代谢健康的一组血液检测，包括血糖、胆固醇和甘油三酯。

Study participants will sign up through the Google Health Studies App, where they will be prompted to schedule an appointment for a blood draw at a Quest patient service center. A third-party physician will order tests for participants. In addition, participants will have direct access to their lab test results through the Google app and through Quest's free mobile app, MyQuest..

研究参与者将通过谷歌健康研究应用程序注册，在那里他们将被提示预约在Quest患者服务中心抽血。第三方医生将为参与者安排测试。此外，参与者将可以通过谷歌应用程序和Quest的免费移动应用程序MyQuest直接访问实验室测试结果。。

Poor metabolic health is a major risk factor for chronic diseases and serious health conditions including heart disease, diabetes and stroke. Metabolic health is assessed using several benchmarks including blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglycerides. In a recent study that explored the prevalence and risk factors of metabolic health, prevalence of metabolic syndrome among participants was 63 percent.1 Physical activity, a healthful diet and quality sleep can help reduce the risk of developing these conditions..

代谢健康不佳是慢性病和严重健康状况（包括心脏病、糖尿病和中风）的主要危险因素。代谢健康是使用包括血糖、胆固醇和甘油三酯在内的几个基准来评估的。在最近一项研究代谢健康的患病率和危险因素的研究中，参与者中代谢综合征的患病率为63%。1体育锻炼、健康饮食和优质睡眠可以帮助降低患这些疾病的风险。。

'Improving metabolic health is essential to prolong the time we stay healthy and disease free,' said Javier L. Prieto, Ph.D., Principal Investigator and Senior Staff Research Scientist, Google. 'Metabolic health is influenced by many factors. We think this study will help us uncover how biometrics measured by wearables can help you understand your metabolic health.

谷歌首席研究员兼高级职员研究科学家贾维尔·普里托（JavierL.Prieto）博士说，改善代谢健康对于延长我们保持健康和无病的时间至关重要代谢健康受到许多因素的影响。我们认为这项研究将有助于我们揭示可穿戴设备测量的生物特征如何帮助您了解代谢健康。

With that understanding you will be able to improve your health through better activity, sleep and dietary habits.'.

有了这种理解，你将能够通过更好的活动、睡眠和饮食习惯来改善你的健康。”。

This study is an important step in our efforts to understand the potential of wearable devices to improve metabolic health and develop new strategies for managing chronic diseases. The WEAR-ME pilot study is expected to be completed in 2024.

这项研究是我们努力了解可穿戴设备改善代谢健康的潜力和开发管理慢性病的新策略的重要一步。磨损试验研究预计将于2024年完成。
