OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about new sensors that measure changes in the body that happen during a chest infection, such as breathing rate and heart rate. This study will be with adults who have either cystic fibrosis or bronchiectasis who start treatment with intravenous antibiotics (usually for around 2 weeks). The main question it aims to answer is the change in sensor measure (such as heart rate) between the start and end of treatment for a chest infection. No follow up visits are required for this study.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria4
- ≥ 18 years old
