Cardiopulmonary clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
Cardiopulmonary refers to the heart and lungs working together to supply oxygen to the body. UCSF is researching ways to estimate how fit someone is using cardiopulmonary exercise tests. The study checks methods for accurately predicting fitness levels without needing additional testing.
Supporting Validation of VO2Max Estimation Methods Using Results in Patients Receiving Standard of Care Cardiopulmonary Exercise Tests (CPET)
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
In this study, the hypothesis being explored is that VO2Max and other CPET parameters can be accurately estimated from biosignals (namely, motion from accelerometers and cardiopulmonary variables from EKG) collected during activities of daily living using wearable biosensors worn by study participants. This study will aim to collect development and validation data for a machine learning algorithm and to evaluate the performance of the algorithm. A total of 500 participants will be enrolled including: (Normal) 100 participants, self-reported healthy male and female participants aged 18 to 80 and (Standard of Care) 400 participants.
