Observing Performance of Haptic Vibrotactile Trigger Technology by Measuring Changes in Resting Metabolic Rate: Assessment and Analysis

概要

This study evaluates whether a drug-free, non-invasive topical patch embedded with Haptic Vibrotactile Trigger Technology (VTT) - the IGNITE Patch (The Super Patch Company) - is associated with changes in resting metabolic rate (RMR) in healthy adults. Approximately 100 healthy men and women, ages 18 to 85, will have their RMR measured at baseline and again after wearing either the active VTT patch or a visually identical inactive patch on the forearm for 45 minutes. Participants in the crossover group wear the inactive patch first, followed by the active patch, with RMR reassessed after each wear period. The entire study visit lasts approximately 1 hour.
