The Long COVID Wearable Study officially launches today!

We aim to rigorously validate what patients have experienced - that wrist worn wearables (in this case @Garmin devices with the body battery feature) can help decrease symptom severity.

We will compare symptoms between groups at 3 months & continue to examine use & effects for 12 months.
