The WearDuke Feasibility Study (2020-2022) is an initiative aimed at promoting health awareness and engagement among Duke University undergraduates through the use of wearable devices. The project aims to determine whether interventions, such as health and wellness event awareness and individual/group competition, positively impact student health outcomes. The project will involve developing an iOS app for study participants to download, and enhancing the user experience by providing further details on activity, point accumulation, and weekly activity summaries. The project also seeks to enhance data collection and simplify the process for study participants to redeem rewards based on participation. The project has various stakeholders, including the Duke University School of Medicine, Sanford School of Public Policy, and Office of Information Technology. The project has identified assumptions, constraints, dependencies, risks, and success indicators, and will follow established guidelines and processes regarding the collection and use of sensitive data.

The WearDuke Feasibility Study (2019-2020) is a campus initiative aimed at promoting health awareness and engagement among Duke undergraduates using wearable devices. The project involves implementing the technical infrastructure to capture and store data from wearable devices, survey study participants, and collect and store survey results. The project will be conducted as a feasibility study targeting a subset of Duke undergraduates during the academic year. The findings will inform the project team whether to expand the initiative beyond the pilot group to the general student body.
