You are being asked to participate in this research repository.  A research repository is a special type of research also known as a tissue bank or data registry.  A repository provides a way for researchers to store samples of tissues (for example, blood, tissue specimens obtained from biopsies, and tissues or organs removed during surgery) and medical information (for example, information from your medical record about your condition) about a person for future use in research studies.  In this consent form, tissues of all types will be referred to as “tissue” and private medical information will be referred to as “data”.  Together, tissues and data stored in a repository are referred to as “materials”.

Purpose of the Study and Reason for Your Involvement:

If you are providing consent for someone else (e.g., your child, a next-of-kin, or someone for whom you are the legal guardian or are designated as a surrogate decision maker on a medical power of attorney), please note that in the sections that follow the word “you” refers to the person for whom you are providing consent.

You are being asked to participate in this research repository.  A research repository is a special type of research also known as a tissue bank or data registry.  A repository provides a way for researchers to store samples of tissues (for example, blood, tissue specimens obtained from biopsies, and tissues or organs removed during surgery) and medical information (for example, information from your medical record about your condition) about a person for future use in research studies.  In this consent form, tissues of all types will be referred to as “tissue” and private medical information will be referred to as “data”.  Together, tissues and data stored in a repository are referred to as “materials”.

Materials from a repository can be used in research to help find out more about the causes of disease, how to prevent it, and how to treat it.  Storing tissue and information about the person who provided the tissue in a repository is one way that researchers plan for new research. 

This research repository was designed because we want to learn about ways daily activity can improve cognitive behavior, and whether or how these behaviors change cellular and molecular functions in humans.

To achieve this overall goal, we are collecting the following data:

  1. Wearable device data by recording daily human activities (sleep, heartrate, oxygen levels and steps walked). Fitbit is the wearable fitness device we are currently using for this study, and henceforth it will be called “the device” or “activity tracker.”
    a. Protocol personnel will provide the device to the subject.
    b. Data from the device will be downloaded to UTSA research files and kept secure.
    c. Participants will notify research team via phone or email if device activity tracker malfunctions or is lost. Another wearable device will be provided if participant is consistently compliant with wearing the activity tracker (>75% of time since the device was activated).
     
  2. Stem cell, proteomic, and DNA data from blood samples.  DNA testing will be used to determine if you carry known genes that increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease.
    a. Researchers from this protocol will identify, recruit, and consent you for this study. You will have your biospecimens collected at your clinic. Biospecimens will be sent to UTSA and/or collaborating testing facilities for processing storage, and research.
    b. Identifying information about your health will be stored at UTSA, including name, gender, diagnosis, past medical history, and disease-relevant history. All identifying information will be kept secure at UTSA on UTSA servers. Samples and data will be de-identified before sharing with collaborators.
    c. When a commercial DNA testing company is used for DNA testing (i.e. 23andMe), you will be given access to the data/app as provided by the company.
     
  3. Recorded PET/fMRI, PSG, and OCT retinal image data from a subset of the study
    a. This data will be transferred from health science centers/collaborating hospitals over secure internet. All scans will be for research purposes only.
    b. PET scans will be used to measure blood flow, oxygen use, and will be an outpatient procedure.
    c. fMRI imaging will be used to measure brain activity (note, this does not use radiation). This will be used to detect changes in blood oxygenation.
    d. PSG will be used to monitor EEG, EMG, EOG, EKG, and respiratory effort and flow during sleep.
    e. OCT imaging will be used to look at the health of the optic nerve.
     
  4.  Survey data on basic health questionnaires.
     
  5. Cognitive tests.

You may be placed into one of three groups to explore the connection between behavior patterns and the cellular and molecular changes in the body.

  1. One group will be asked to do cognitive training via the Tali Health app for 30 minutes per day over a 6 week period.
     
  2. One group will be asked to get 10,000 steps per day, 5 days a week for 6 weeks.
     
  3. One group will be asked to use artificial UV light exposure for 30 minutes per day over a 6 week period.

Blood draws will be done pre- and post- intervention from which proteomics data and neural network characterizations will be collected. Each group of 60 subjects will be unique to that cohort (no overlap between intervention subjects). 20 subjects of each cohort will be healthy controls, 20 subjects will have a 1st/2nd degree family member with Alzheimer’s Disease or a sleep disorder, and 20 subjects will have a diagnosis of AD.

This study will enable researchers to test and validate new technologies that will subsequently be applied to study and inform the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease and other forms of dementia.

Your materials may be helpful for research whether or not you have the disease or condition that is the focus of this repository.

Future research studies using materials from this repository may include genetic and proteomic testing.  In some cases, genetic testing of tissues can be used to indicate a risk for the development of certain diseases or to discover possible changes in a person’s future health status or life expectancy, or that of his/her children and family members.  If you provide us with your primary care physician’s name and phone number, we will provide them with a report on our findings and any subsequent imaging, test results, etc. We cannot provide this to you directly.

There may be potential commercial benefits from the repository’s use of your materials. There are no plans to provide you with money or other compensation.

The repository is maintained at the University of Texas San Antonio. The Principal Investigator is responsible for the repository.

For volunteers enrolling through our clinical collaborations, we may request access to your data from our clinical partners include retinal scans, MRIs, polysomnographs, and blood draws.

1) Activity tracking: On a regular basis, data will be downloaded from your device over the web. This information will consist of behavioral measures such as steps walked, blood pressure, heartrate, blood oxygen level, and sleep. The data will be collected from FitBit's servers and accessed by the UTSA research team. The data will consist of activity measures such as steps walked, blood pressure, heartrate, blood oxygen level, and sleep. After being received from FitBit, all fitness tracking data is automatically anonymized and stored on a secure server to prevent any unauthorized parties from gaining access to or using the data to identify you. If a participant wishes to withdraw from the study, we may request to keep data collected up until the point participant withdrew. The participant may elect to allow us to keep the data and use it for research purposes, or they may ask for it to be deleted.
1) Activity tracking
2) Blood sample: Blood will be collected from a participating lab. Participants will be assigned a numbered identifier, and all blood samples will be marked with that number only. Blood samples will be stored at UTSA, or with a collaborator pending testing. All unused blood will be stored at UTSA indefinitely or disposed of. If a participant wishes to withdraw from the study, we may request to keep specimens collected up until the point participant withdrew. The participant may elect to allow us to keep the specimen and use it for research purposes, or they may ask for it to be disposed of.
2) Blood sample
3) Non-invasive imaging: This study will use fMRI, PET and OCT scans. This data is important to chart how the biology of the brain is changing over time. All scans will be done at collaborating research sites for research purposes only. Images and scans will be marked with the participant's numbered identifier only. Digital images will be stored at UTSA indefinitely. If a participant wishes to withdraw from the study, we may request to keep images collected up until the point participant withdrew. The participant may elect to allow us to keep the images and use it for research purposes, or they may ask for it to be disposed of.
3) Non-invasive imaging
4) Polysomnography(PSG): This study will use PSG (sleep study) to detect sleep stages and other characteristics of sleep. This data will be used to detect EEG and sleep architecture. PSG will be performed at collaborating research sites for research purposes only. Subjects who agree to wear a tracking device during a polysomnograph will release all sleep study data to the Quantu research team. PSG will be marked with the participants numbered identifier only. PSG data will be stored at UTSA indefinitely. If a participant wishes to withdraw from the study, we may request to keep PSG data collected up until the point participant withdrew. The participant may elect to allow us to keep the data and use it for research purposes, or they may ask for it to be disposed of.
4) Polysomnography(PSG)
5) Cognitive Testing: This study will use cognitive testing via website/app to establish baseline cognitive function and monitor changes in cognitive ability over the course of the study.
5) Cognitive Testing
6) One night PSG + Fitbit: Subjects who are already having a PSG procedure can opt to wear a Fitbit during the night of the procedure for comparison studies. The Fitbit will be returned to sleep lab personnel after the completion of the sleep study. Subjects are welcome to join the long term study if they choose. Subjects who agree to wear a tracking device during a polysomnograph will release all sleep study data to the Quantu research team. PSG will be marked with the participants numbered identifier only. PSG data will be stored at UTSA indefinitely. If a participant wishes to withdraw from the study, we may request to keep PSG data collected up until the point participant withdrew. The participant may elect to allow us to keep the data and use it for research purposes, or they may ask for it to be disposed of.
6) One night PSG + Fitbit
7) Cognitive Training Intervention: You will be asked to do a series of cognitive training exercises via a Tali Health app for 30 minutes per day for 6 weeks. You are asked to perform the exercises at the same time each day without interruption. You will give blood prior to the start of the 6 week intervention and after the completion of the 6 weeks. After the 6 week intervention is completed, You will continue to be tracked via FitBit tracker and 6 month blood draws (from the date of post-intervention draw). If a participant wishes to withdraw from the study, we may request to keep data collected up until the point participant withdrew. The participant may elect to allow us to keep the data and use it for research purposes, or they may ask for it to be deleted.
7) Cognitive Training Intervention
8) Exercise Intervention: You will be asked to accumulate at least 10,000 steps 5 days per week for 6 weeks. Steps will be monitored and verified using FitBit tracker. 10,000 steps may be taken intermittently throughout the day or at one exercise period (subject choice). You will give blood prior to the start of the 6 week intervention and after the completion of the 6 weeks. After the 6 week intervention is completed, You will continue to be tracked via FitBit tracker and 6 month blood draws (from the date of post-intervention draw). If a participant wishes to withdraw from the study, we may request to keep data collected up until the point participant withdrew. The participant may elect to allow us to keep the data and use it for research purposes, or they may ask for it to be deleted.
8) Exercise Intervention
9) UV Light Exposure Intervention: You will be given Luminette UV light therapy glasses which they will use in the morning for 30 minutes each day for 6 weeks. You will give blood prior to the start of the 6 week intervention and after the completion of the 6 weeks. After the 6 week intervention is completed, You will continue to be tracked via FitBit tracker and 6 month blood draws (from the date of post-intervention draw). If a participant wishes to withdraw from the study, we may request to keep data collected up until the point participant withdrew. The participant may elect to allow us to keep the data and use it for research purposes, or they may ask for it to be deleted.
9) UV Light Exposure Intervention
10) DNA Testing: Before any other processing, all data is automatically anonymized and stored on a secure server to prevent any unauthorized parties from gaining access to or using the data to identify you. Participants may opt out of any portion of the study at any time; however, non-compliance with activity tracking may disqualify participants from the study. Finally, existing and proprietary algorithms developed over the course of the project will process the de-identified data in an effort to predict behavioral changes from current and past data.
