Digital Health Program

The RECOVER Digital Health Program helps researchers learn more about how participants’ health is similar to, or different, from other people in RECOVER. Participants can use a wearable device, like a Fitbit, and have the option to share other information, like their electronic health record (EHR). An EHR is a digital medical chart that has health data like doctor visits, lab results, and other health history. Joining the program is optional, so participants can choose to take part or not.

Get a Free Fitbit!

All participants in the Digital Health Program can order a free Fitbit (or connect their own wearable device, such as an Apple Watch or Garmin smartwatch) to share digital health data with the RECOVER team.

The Fitbit collects and shares data to the RECOVER app, MyDataHelps, like:

Heart rate
Activity
Oxygen levels
Sleep
