Status Quo:

At-home health monitoring devices often require behavior changes, such as remembering to take measurements or charge devices, which can be difficult to maintain. More seamlessly integrated solutions could enhance adherence to home-based health monitoring.

What We Study:

The COMMODE-seat study evaluates The Heart Seat, a toilet seat with embedded cardiac sensors that passively monitors vital signs and transmits data via Wi-Fi. Developed by Casana, this investigational device aims to help individuals with chronic conditions manage their health from home by providing continuous, unobtrusive monitoring.

How We Innovate:

Participants will use The Heart Seat for up to one year, benefiting from:

  • Home Installation: The Heart Seat is installed by the team, with no user maintenance required.
  • Device Integration: Participants can sync their own smart devices with the MyDataHelps app.
  • Symptom Tracking: Participants can log symptoms and view trends in the MyDataHelps app for comprehensive health monitoring.
