Per 45 CFR 46.104, this analysis is exempt from human subject research regulation. This project involved no direct contact with human or animal subjects. For this post-hoc analysis, we were provided fully de-identified data from the clinical studies ATOM (NCT03512262) and wearABLe (NCT04064411).

For this type of study, formal consent is not required.
