The Activ8rlives SENSOR I Respiratory Research App for iPads was developed as support for those volunteer patients with long-term respiratory conditions taking part in research for the record and tracking of a range of pulmonary and cardiovascular health parameters.

Activ8rlives Lung Research (SENSOR I) differs from the Activ8rlives Lung Health (SENSOR II) App in that Activ8rlives Lung Research is blinded, i.e. you will not be able to see your longitudinal (recorded) data over time.
• Activ8rlives Lung Research does not show all your recorded (longitudinal) data. Only the research team will view this retrospectively.
• The Activ8rlives Lung Research App is divided into a series of sections, with simple brightly coloured instructions included on each screen.
• Using Activ8rlives Lung Research begins with login to an existing FREE Activ8rlives account (via the login function on the homepage of Activ8rlives www.activ8rlives.com).
• During the registration process, the user records: height, weight, age and gender. Activ8rlives Lung Research automatically calculates the users ideal weight and predicts target lung function parameters using NHANES III (the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a survey research programme conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children and to track changes over time).
• Through a series of visual and easy-to-read screens, Activ8rlives Lung Research takes the user through a number of pages of simple questionnaires, asking the user to record: health status, severity of cough, appetite and energy levels.
• Activ8rlives Lung Research then takes the user through questions to record the roles within the users medical team that they have had contact with. This supports the research teams seeking to understand the Health Economics of a particular patient group.
• The third stages asks the user to record whether they have started a course of antibiotics or steroids and the way these were taken, as this can be used to mark the onset of an exacerbation or flare-up. This section concludes by asking the user to record whether they are currently in hospital as an in-patient.
• The user is then guided to measure and upload a series of vital statistics from compatible devices available through Activ8rlives which include: Smart Scales; Activity Tracker; Pulse Oximeter; Temperature; Blood Pressure and Peak Flow/FEV1. Set-up and pairing is created though a highly structured and simple wizard process, so as to make set-up and training of patients, their families and care staff as accessible as possible.
• The Activ8rlives Lung Research App process completes by supporting the user in the collection of sputum and urine sample for that day if appropriate. Data recorded is transmitted to the Activ8rlives cloud-database so that the research team can understand their long-term respiratory or cardiovascular health conditions.
• The Activ8rlives Lung Research App is designed as a research tool to collect data for researchers interested in learning about vital signs within pulmonary and cardiovascular disease patient cohorts.
