On & Off the Scene
Protecting Your Health
The MyBeats + FDM Pilot Project offers a unique opportunity for firefighters and related emergency personnel to gain valuable insights into their body's responses during rest, training, and real-life emergency situations.
- Device Flexibility: You can participate using your own device, including Apple Watch, Fitbit, or Garmin. If you have another health tracker, its data can likely be integrated by connecting it to Apple Health or Android Health, which can then be linked within the MyBeats app.
- Provided Device Option: If you do not have a compatible device, we can provide one for you to use throughout the 30-day pilot program (July 1 - July 31, 2025). This device will need to be returned to us after the study concludes.
- Real-Time Monitoring: The MyBeats app tracks key biometrics like instantaneous heart rates, sleep behavior, activity levels, diet, water intake, or any other physiological data recorded by your health tracker.
- Personalized Tips: The app will provide daily personalized tips to improve your health based on real-time data.
- Contribute to Vital Research: By participating in this pilot, you will improve your understanding of your health and contribute to firefighter health research.
- No Cost to You: Your participation in this 30-day pilot program, running from July 1 to July 31, 2025, is entirely free of charge.
- Your Privacy is Paramount: This pilot adheres strictly to HIPAA regulations and all relevant privacy laws. Your individual health data is fully anonymized and will only be used in an aggregated format for research purposes, ensuring it is never linked to your name or any other personal identifying information.
- Flexibility to Opt Out: You retain the complete freedom to withdraw from the pilot program at any point should you choose to do so.
Your Commitment
We ask that you wear your tracker as often as possible for the 30-day duration of the pilot – ideally 24/7, but no less than 8 hours per day. Your consistent participation will ensure the accuracy and value of the data collected. You will also be asked to complete a brief post-pilot survey to share your valuable feedback.
