EmbracePlus, Care App and Aura Usability Study
Study for the Evaluation of the Usability of EmbracePlus, Empatica Care Platform and Aura Algorithm
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usability of the system which includes the wearable device, app and cloud data processing, including an algorithm (Aura) capable of detecting possible early signs of respiratory infections in healthy individuals.
In addition, the investigators would like to evaluate the presence of any allergic reactions to materials used in the manufacture of the EmbracePlus.

Healthy Users
Each subject will be provided with a wearable device (smartwatch EmbracePlus manufactured by Empatica), to be worn every day outside of work hours for a total of 6 weeks.
After the 6 weeks of data collection the participant will be asked to fill an online questionnaire related to the system usability (max 20 min).
|
A survey will be administered to the subject at the end of the 6th week of product usage related to the wearable device and the related software platform's usability.
Survey items will include both Likert-scale items that will be analyzed quantitatively and open-ended feedback that will be summarized qualitatively.
