MIDAS S5 Research is a research application whose purpose is to collect wearable health data (heart rate, sleep, activity) from consenting participants, via the Google Health API, for a doctoral study on the physiological workload of surgeons at the School of Medicine, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh), Greece.
The purpose of MIDAS S5 Research is to collect wearable health data, with participant consent, for an academic study measuring the physiological workload of surgeons in daily practice. With each participant’s explicit consent, the application connects to their Google account through the Google Health API and reads a small, read-only set of wearable (Fitbit) measurements:
These measurements are combined with short questionnaires and a brief attention test to study how surgical work affects strain and recovery. All data is pseudonymized, stored in the European Union, used only for scientific research, and never sold or used for advertising.
The study is conducted by the doctoral researcher of project MIDAS at the School of Medicine, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, under an approved bioethics amendment. Participation is by invitation only and voluntary; consent can be withdrawn at any time. Contact: gkntakakis@gmail.com

Το MIDAS S5 Research είναι η εφαρμογή συλλογής δεδομένων μιας διδακτορικής έρευνας της Ιατρικής Σχολής του ΑΠΘ που μελετά το φυσιολογικό φορτίο των χειρουργών. Με τη ρητή συγκατάθεσή σας, διαβάζει από τη συσκευή σας Fitbit (μέσω Google Health API) βήματα, καρδιακό ρυθμό, HRV, ύπνο και ηλικία — μόνο για ανάγνωση. Τα δεδομένα είναι ψευδωνυμοποιημένα, αποθηκεύονται στην ΕΕ και χρησιμοποιούνται αποκλειστικά για επιστημονικούς σκοπούς. Χρήση μόνο για έρευνα — όχι ιατρική διάγνωση.
