Preparing Devices and Participants Before Starting Data Collection

Introduction

Introduction

This guide provides clinical site teams with essential steps to prepare wearable devices and participants before starting data collection in a Koneksa clinical study. Proper preparation is critical to ensure accurate, timely, and reliable data collection, minimizing errors and delays throughout the study.

Prerequisites

Before device and participant preparation, ensure the study protocol and device-specific setup instructions are available and thoroughly reviewed by the clinical site team.

Materials and Resources Needed

• Koneksa wearable devices assigned for the study participants.
• Access to the Koneksa app or platform for device pairing and data synchronization.
• Participant informed consent forms and instructional materials.
• Chargers and necessary accessories for devices.
• Initial calibration tools or software as specified for the devices.

Step-by-Step Preparation Instructions

Step 1: Charge Devices Fully

Ensure all wearable devices are fully charged using the approved chargers before deployment. This prevents interruptions during initial data collection sessions.

Step 2: Device Configuration and Pairing

Configure each device according to the study protocol settings. Pair devices with the Koneksa app or platform and perform a test synchronization to confirm successful data transmission.

Step 3: Participant Instruction and Consent

Provide participants with clear, concise instructions on device usage, including wearing schedules, charging procedures, and basic troubleshooting tips. Obtain informed consent and confirm participant understanding of their responsibilities related to device operation.

Step 4: Initial Device Calibration or Setup

Perform any initial calibration or device-specific setup required as per the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure accurate data capture from the outset.

Tips and Best Practices

• Document device serial numbers and pairing status to track assignment and configuration.
• Schedule a practice session with participants to familiarize them with device operation.
• Verify data flow to the Koneksa platform regularly during initial days of collection to catch potential issues early.
• Keep spare devices and chargers on hand to handle replacements promptly if needed.
