Summary

COHORT A: To study whether a digital health tool called Actigraph can be used to collect information on gait and physical activity in healthy children aged 3-17. The study will be conducted at the Pfizer Innovation Research Laboratory (PfIRe Lab) in Cambridge MA. In the lab at the first visit, we will ask participants to do activities such as walking on different surfaces as well as to roll a dice and move between different activity stations. Children will wear 2 Actigraph devices, one as a watch and one as a belt. They will then go home and do usual daily activities while answering a brief daily activity diary for approximately 2 weeks. The conclusion of the study will be over the telephone and include questions on the comfort and wearability of the device. The analysis of gait and physical activity as well as adherence and wearability will be looked across three different age groups 3-5, 6-11, and 12-17. COHORT B: Cohort B of the study aims to evaluate the feasibility of the Panoramic Bracelet and associated algorithms such as SleepPy and GaitPy compared to the GENEActiv device and to evaluate the comfort and wearability of the Panoramic Bracelet. The results of this study will enable the use of novel devices in future clinical trials measuring scratch and sleep. . In the lab at the first visit, we will ask participants to do activities such as walking on different surfaces as well as to roll a dice and move between different activity stations. They will then go home and do usual daily activities while wearing both devices in the same wrist at different times stipulated in the protocol, answering a brief daily activity and sleep diary for approximately 2 weeks. Cohort B includes questions on the comfort and wearability of the Panoramic device on Day 7 approximately. The conclusion of the study will be over the telephone.The analysis will be looked across three different age groups 3-5, 6-11, and 12-17

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	COHORT A: Actigraph	The ActiGraph CentrePoint Insight Watch is a small worn activity monitor designed for documenting physical movement associated with applications in physiological monitoring.
DEVICE	Panoramic Bracelet and GENEActiv	Panoramic Bracelet: The Panoramic Digital Health Bracelet is a wearable inertial measurement unit "intended for use by researchers and healthcare professionals for high frequency or continuous collection of physical data in home and professional healthcare settings during research studies." It includes a 3 axis accelerometer and gyroscope, as well as magnetometer, pressure, and temperature sensors. The bracelet has no interface or screen for participants to interact with. GENEActiv: The GENEActiv device is a wearable inertial measurement unit "designed for public health research and clinical trials." The device is a circular unit with attachable wrist-bands, and has no interface or screen for participants to interact with. The GENEActiv device is FDA 510(k) exempt. The device records acceleration data and can collect data remotely for up to 1 month.
