Results We enrolled 21 participants and interviewed 20 individuals after the winter period and 19 after the spring period. Two individuals were lost to follow-up; one individual dropped out after the initial study visit due to research mistrust in the wearable sensors and the second individual dropped out after the winter interview due to worsening health. Two individuals whose first language was not English attended each interview with a caregiver. We transcribed 39 audio recordings.
