INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The ActiControl study is a monocentric, academic, and fully remote observational study designed to build a normative, longitudinal dataset using the Syde® wearable device. The study will enroll 200 healthy volunteers across all age groups, genders, and backgrounds. Participants will be remotely recruited and followed over two years, wearing the Syde® device for 3-week periods every 6 months. All study visits, including consent, data collection, and follow-up, are conducted remotely via phone or video conferencing. The primary objectives are to collect reference data on gait and movement patterns and to assess adherence and acceptability of the device. Secondary objectives include evaluating the reliability of digital endpoints and the influence of demographic and lifestyle factors on these measures.

Interventions
Syde is an innovative device intended to be used in a home-based environment. It is composed of two watch-like sensors, each containing a magneto-inertial sensors that record the linear acceleration, the angular velocity, the magnetic field of the movement in all directions.The two watches can be worn as wristwatch or placed near the ankle.
The post-recording questionnaire aims at describing as much as possible the subject activity and quality of life during the recording period while being as low a burden as possible for the subject. The question formats are, on one hand, inspired by Quality of life and Physical Activity questionnaires usually used in Clinical Research and, on the other hand, based on device-specific needs for an optimal analysis. It covers fatigue status, physical status, physical activity with the Syde®, event(s) or condition(s) that may have impacted the ability to wear the Syde® during the recording.
