Respiratory Rate Validation Study

United States36 participantsStarted 2025-05-05

Plain-language summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test how accurately a new chest-worn device called the Perin Health Patch measures breathing rate in adults aged 22 and older. The main question it aims to answer is: How accurately does the Perin Health Patch measure breathing rate compared to a standard medical device that measures carbon dioxide in exhaled breath? Participants will: * Wear the Perin Health Patch on their chest during the study session * Breathe through a mouthpiece or nose tube connected to a standard breathing monitor * Follow guided breathing exercises at different speeds (from very slow to fast breathing) using a breathing app * Sit and lie down in different positions during the measurements * Complete the study in one visit lasting about 1-2 hours The study will include both healthy adults and people with conditions like asthma, COPD, heart failure, diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity to test how well the device works for different types of people. Researchers will compare the breathing rate numbers from the new chest patch to the standard medical device to see if the patch is accurate enough for medical use.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participant must have the ability to understand and provide written informed consent. * Participants or legally authorized representative must be able to read or write in English. * Participant is adult, ages 22 years or older. * Participant must be willing and able to comply with study procedures and duration. Exclusion Criteria: * Participant unwilling or unable to provide written informed consent. * Participants evaluated by the Investigator and/or Clinical Staff and found to be medically unsuitable or have self-reported health conditions that are currently unstable as identified in Health Assessment Form and Health Screening. * Compromised circulation, injury, or physical malformation of the fingers, toes, hands, ears or forehead/skull or other sensor ROI, which would limit the ability to test ROI. * Tattoos in the optical path, which would limit the ability to test ROI. Certain malformations may still allow participants to participate if the condition is noted and would not affect the ROI. * Participants with severe contact allergies to standard adhesives, latex, or other materials found in pulse oximeters, ECG electrodes, or other medical sensors (self-reported). * Any other known health conditions may be evaluated and should be considered upon disclosure in health assessment form.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
