UNMC researchers are seeking subjects for the study “Modeling Multi-Dimensional Risk in Real-World Drivers with Diabetes” (IRB#: 208-18-FB).
About the study:
The Mind & Brain Health Labs is seeking healthy participants for a research study aimed at understanding how diabetes affects driver safety.
Studying how people without diabetes drive may improve our ability to understand how driving changes in people with diabetes. This study may help in the development of future driving safety tools and technology that support safety, mobility and quality of life in people with diabetes. The study is led by Matthew Rizzo, MD, chair of the UNMC Department of Neurological Sciences.
The study is seeking people who:
- Are between the ages of 35-70 years old;
- Have not been diagnosed with diabetes;
- Are legally licensed and active drivers.
Expectations for participants:
- Six weeks of participation
- Three study visits (one-four hours in length)
- Installation of a camera into the participant’s personal vehicle to record how they drive
- Participant must be willing to wear a Fitbit
Participants will receive compensation for their time.
