Still waiting here too, but like other thread posters said, I think it is because of my age. They’re probably looking for people outside my age range.
I registered the day Heart Study became available. Still waiting with "Notification Requested", probably due to age (37). Hopefully I'll be able to participate.
You can still monitor your health. This is just a study. Like when you volunteer and you don't know if you're getting the actual drug or a placebo.
Wow, I would have put money down on you getting it right away. How interesting. I wonder if it's them wanting more women (assuming you're a guy like me)? No idea. Oh well. lol.
80 here now 14 days in study and 118 contributions probably getting all the readings they can while I am still around
I signed up shortly after the announcement. Just got my notification and signed up.
59. 10 days, 55 readings.
I'm sure they are looking for diversity in everything, and not just age.
I think they would want to enroll as many eligible people as possible of both sexes and all ages for statistical significance. I'm guessing the lost to follows will be high as people lose interest in wearing the Apple Watch daily or don't replace ones that stop working. They are probably enrolling slowing while working out any possible kinks.
FWIW, I just received the notification that I am part of the study now. 26yo male.
I joined on the day it came out, and got the notification this morning. So far I'm 1 day in, with 4 data contributions.
Looks like they're starting to open things up quickly now. Hopefully everyone should be in before the year's end.
My sister was... she initially was like no way. When I talked to her more a bit about how Stanford is the one behind this ... she still isn't comfortable with it. Me? Apple and Stanford .... seems pretty good to me so I don't get the worry or nervousness at all.

I see it this way, It's a resource before they will come out with an FCC approve product, and I like to help, also if I have a problem I like to know about it so it's free checkup, and if nothing wrong so what shall I worried.

More nervous that something might show up than about the organizations behind it.
I was a little nervous the night I signed the consent, but haven't worried about it since. Wasn't nervous about risks of participating, but that something abnormal may be found. I was a study coordinator for a few NIH studies so the language in the consent sounded pretty standard.

My experience with the Heart Study has been a little different than the others reporting here. I joined on the first day. After two days and seven contributions, I upgraded to IOS 11.2 on my phone. My Heart Study app went to awaiting a notification. Finally two weeks later, I got the notification and am once again in the study. Will this happen every time I upgrade my phone IOS?
