Reports

As we already know from past analyses, the average resting heart rate of an individual deviates from baseline levels following a COVID-19 infection. In this blog post, we further investigate how this systematic change in heart rate relates to the number of COVID-19 symptoms experienced.

Many factors determine whether a person actually engages in appropriate protective behavior. In a recent journal article, we use survey data from 29,355 data donation participants to examine which characteristics alter behavior in the private domain, and how social environments affect behavior in the workplace. Here we summarise the most important results for you.

The collection of data has come to an end. In 2023, we refocus our efforts on data analysis and activate a new phase of the research cycle. This post will guide you through our roadmap for 2023.

Dear Donors, About a year ago, we were able to take stock of the first year of Datenspende. Today, around 470 million donated data points on heart rate, step count and sleep provide us with a unique insight into the development of vital signs under pandemic conditions.

The question of how many new COVID-19 cases per week continues to navigate our political and personal decisions. How we assess the risk of infection, the methods we use to protect ourselves, and how we handle the pandemic in the future all depend on the answer to this question.

Dear Donors, For almost two years now, your data has helped us to better understand the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. For this, we would like to thank you once again.

Dear donors, For about half a year now, you have not only been able to donate your vitals and sleep data, but also to respond to various regular surveys about your personal experience and behaviour during the pandemic.

In this analysis, we examine how vaccinations influence the impact of infections on resting heart rate, step count, and sleep patterns by contrasting infections prior to and subsequent to being fully vaccinated.

Introduction In this blog post, we will give you further insight into the socio-demographic characteristics and the health situation of the data donors in the sub-study “Tests, Symptoms and Living Situation” (hereafter referred to as “sub-study”).

Introduction In previous blogposts, we have already discussed the sociodemographics and spatial distribution of donors. In this blogpost, we will again look at the sociodemographic composition and spatial distribution of donors.
