Wearable data and self reported fatigue scores from a remote observational study in Sjogren's disease, SLE and healthy participants

Fatigue is a subjective, complex, and multi-faceted phenomenon, commonly experienced as tiredness. However, pathological fatigue is a major debilitating symptom associated with overwhelming feelings of physical and mental exhaustion. To date, there is no consensus about reliable quantitative assessments of fatigue. We collected observational data for a period of one month from 296 participants (healthy volunteers, Sjogren’s Syndrome, and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus patients) in the United States. Data comprised continuous multimodal digital data from Fitbit, including heart rate, physical activity, and sleep daily features, and app-based daily and weekly questions (e.g., pain, mood, general physical activity, and fatigue). When matching both sensor data and PROs, and excluding missing data, the dataset contains data from 183 subjects and 3950 recording days. The analysis of the association of digital data to self-reported fatigue was published at Rao C., et. al. (2023), Association of digital measures and self-reported fatigue: a remote observational study in healthy participants and participants with chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease, Frontiers in Digital Health. Demographics, digital parameters, and other information on this dataset can be found in the aforementioned manuscript and related supplementary material.
