The primary objective is to understand user engagement and feasibility of remotely collecting subjective and self-reported markers of hydration status as well as markers of hydration using transdermal optical imaging (TOI) within the Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI) branded mobile application (adherence and dropout rates, and differences between demographics). The secondary objective is to understand the within subject variability of TOI features before and after acute fluid ingestion during remote data collection.
Tertiary objectives are to compare self-reported measures of hydration status against the TOI hydration model prediction before and after acute fluid ingestion during remote data collection.
An outside service was contracted for recruiting. Please do not contact the investigator to express interest.
