Help Shape the Future
of Lifestyle Science
We're recruiting 100+ adults from Eastern Europe to share 16 weeks of wearable data for academic research on physical activity, sleep, and heart health.
Fully anonymous · GDPR compliant · No personal data required
This study looks at what everyday wearable data — sleep, activity, heart rate — can tell us about lifestyle and health, in a region largely missing from existing wearable research.
How it works
Sign up
Complete a short consent form and basic demographics. Takes under 3 minutes. No name or email needed.
Connect your device
Link your existing wearable — Garmin, Fitbit, Oura, Polar, WHOOP, and Suunto are supported.
Wear it as usual
Your device continues to sync automatically for 16 weeks. No surveys, no diaries.
Supported devices: Garmin, Fitbit, Oura, Polar, WHOOP, Suunto.
Apple Watch / Apple Health can't be included at this stage.
What data do we collect?
Daily activity
Steps, distance, calories, MVPA minutes
Sleep
Duration, stages (light, deep, REM), wake periods
Heart rate
Resting HR, average HR, HRV (RMSSD, SDNN)
Workouts
