NCT05203393

Brief Summary

The REFRESH study is designed to collect data related to a signal in the brain that MindRhythm has named the Headpulse. The Headpulse occurs as a natural movement of the brain in conjunction with the beating of the heart. 500 "normal" subjects who are considered healthy as they do not have any current known neurological injury will collect the brain signal data from the non-invasive headband style headset for a duration of 3 minutes either once or multiple times. Upon consenting to participate to the study by way of the accompanying MindRhythm app, participants will be sent a Harmony headset kit which will include ECG leads to collect cardiac data in conjunction with the brain signal. The participant will receive training materials and instructions on how to collect and transmit data to investigators by way of the MindRhythm app. The data collected by these "normal" patients will be used as a comparator to individuals who are suspected of neurological injury. This data will assist in training the data analysis algorithm to optimize its diagnostic abilities in detecting neurological injury or abnormalities including but not limited to stroke, stroke type, and concussion. The data set will also be analyzed to determine how the signal varies within an individual and amongst other "normals." An additional benefit of collecting this data will be to gain knowledge related to the ergonomic factors of the app and the headset and its "user friendliness."

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Development of comparative cohort of baseline intracranial waveform data in adults with no known neurological injury.

    To collect un-blinded HeadPulse waveform with the Harmony 4000 from normal adult subjects including and above the ages of 18 during normal circumstances in order to create a comparative cohort. These normal data sets will assist in improving the diagnostic capabilities of the Harmony 4000 device in detecting neurological abnormalities.

    These subjects will be recorded once or multiple times as a time series covering recordings up to two years in duration.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • To collect intracranial waveform data to analyze the quality of the signal when varied individuals collect it under varied circumstances.

    The analysis of the quality of the data will be evaluated as the data is transmitted to the investigators over a period of 2 years during the duration of the study.

Interventions

The Harmony headset is a non-invasive nonsignificant risk observational device to collect intracranial waveform data. The headset will be placed on "normal" study participants to collect data for a period of 3 minutes and transferred to investigators for analysis.
