This National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant is offered to support the critical task of standardizing data and metadata collected from personal tracking devices. The primary purpose is to empower researchers by providing easy access to this valuable health-related information, fostering new avenues for scientific discovery. Awardees will be responsible for creating robust data formats and protocols, similar in function to the established DICOM or NIfTI standards for medical images. A key expectation for this initiative’s success is active collaboration and partnership with both device manufacturers and the broader research community. This grant aims to facilitate interoperability and maximize the utility of wearable device data in health research.
