Welcome to the Spire-PD study!
For the next 6 weeks, wear your Spire for at least 8 hours per day. You don't have to wear the Spire
while you sleep. Go about your normal everyday activities while wearing the Spire, and it will track your
breathing and activity throughout the day.
Setting up your Spire
1. Download the Spire Breath + Activity Tracker app from the app store (iPhone) or play store
(Android).
2. Make sure the Bluetooth function is "on" in your phone or tablet in order to sync the Spire with
the app.
3. Open the Spire app, which will guide you through the set up process.
