Important Information
Summary
You are invited to join a research study evaluating whether sleep changes while using WAVwatch. We do not know whether WAVwatch will improve your sleep.
The study lasts about 35 days. For the first 7 days you will not use WAVwatch and will complete study assessments about your usual sleep. You will then use WAVwatch nightly for 28 days and complete several brief sleep assessments, a safety check, and a final assessment.
Voluntary Participation
Participation is voluntary. You may stop at any time. Choosing not to participate will not affect your access to ordinary medical care.
Costs and Payment
You will not be paid for participation. The study includes the commercially available WAVwatch product and research-related services at the study price shown during enrollment.
Possible Benefits
You may or may not experience improvement. A possible benefit is learning more about your own sleep patterns and contributing data that may help determine whether WAVwatch warrants further study.
Risks
Possible risks include skin irritation or discomfort, sensitivity to sound, annoyance or frustration, privacy risks associated with online research, and unforeseen effects. If you experience severe or concerning symptoms, stop using the product as appropriate, seek medical care, and notify Efforia after urgent needs have been addressed.
Other Sleep Treatments
When possible, avoid intentionally starting or stopping other sleep-focused products or supplements during the study because those changes can make results harder to interpret. Do not delay or change medically necessary care for research purposes.
Privacy
Efforia will collect study data and protect it according to applicable research and privacy procedures. De-identified or aggregated results may be analyzed, reported, or published.
Questions
Contact Efforia at help@efforia.com with study questions, concerns, side effects, or requests to withdraw. In an emergency, seek local emergency care first.
Consent
By signing, you confirm that you have reviewed the study information, had the opportunity to ask questions, understand that participation is voluntary, and agree to participate.
