The WEAR IT Study Description: This study explores how technologies such as smart watches can support heart health among Aboriginal people. Smart watches can now track heart health and physical activity, but it is not yet known how useful these tools are for Aboriginal communities.
STARDIT ID:
The study aims to learn whether these technologies might help improve heart health outcomes for Aboriginal people. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn more about their own heart health by wearing a smart watch.
This research aims to determine what is needed to implement acceptable and efficacious wearables programs for older Indigenous people associated with Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCO).

Aims
learn whether smart watches might help improve heart health outcomes for Aboriginal people
determine what is needed to implement acceptable and efficacious wearables programs for older Indigenous people associated with Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCO)
Identify which of the health metrics provided through wearable technologies (watches and patches) Indigenous people are interested in monitoring and sharing with their healthcare professionals.
Determine if augmenting standard care with digital health technologies leads to earlier screening and better management of atrial fibrillation (AF) in Indigenous adults aged 55 and older.
Integrate the perspectives of ACCO staff about integrating data from wearable programs into community organisations, including primary care.
