thewayneAt least three new studies opened for enrollment through their Research app. You may need to update the app first, I was able to enroll in the hearing study and also the heart health study. The women's health study is also available for enrollment. Why I cannot delete that from my list, I don't know.
I'm glad I did as my age bracket in the hearing study is pretty low!
It took me maybe ten minutes to buzz through all the questions required, no big deal.
One problem that I did run in to was the app defaults your birth date to today, and it seemed like it wouldn't let me change it from March to December. The issue was I didn't change to an earlier year and it wouldn't let me move the month to a future date.
So now I'm in two more studies in addition to what I'm in at National Institutes of Health! The studies just collect passive data, and theoretically may pop up questions every once in a while. The women's study does ask for data regarding characteristics of your period, that one is more active.
And they probably want you to wear your Watch as much as possible. A friend of mine pretty much only wears his when he leaves the house. To each their own.
