What the study is about

The TIME Study is a research project aiming to understand the body's natural rhythms. The goal is to see how daily and weekly changes in our bodies-from what's happening at a molecular level to data from wearable devices-are connected.

What is the study about? This study is trying to create a detailed map of how a person's body changes over time. By looking at information from blood, urine, and other samples, as well as data from smartwatches and other devices, researchers want to learn how our bodies' natural cycles work in healthy older adults. The long-term goal is to use this knowledge to help develop more personalized healthcare in the future.

Who can participate? The study is looking for healthy adults, age 55 or older, who have a smartphone and are able to travel to the Buck Institute in Novato, California, for study visits.

Participants will be asked to

Attend weekly visits over 11 weeks to provide blood and other samples.

Wear health-tracking devices like a smart ring and watch.

Use a smartphone app to answer questions about their daily routines.

Complete two "challenge" tests, including drinking a glucose solution and exercising on a stationary bicycle.

Return for follow-up visits after 6 and 12 months.

Are there any risks or benefits? Benefits: There are no direct health benefits for participants. However, the information gained will help scientists create better diagnostic tools and treatments for future generations.

Risks: The main risks are minor discomfort from things like blood draws or skin irritation from the wearable devices. All personal information and data are kept private and secure.

Conditions: Health
