Purpose of this Study
We are doing this study is to see if we can predict carotid artery function using wearable technology (for example, a FitBit®).
Who Can Participate?

- Cohort 1: Healthy adults ages 18+ who do not have any ongoing medical conditions that require regular medical care and/or routine medication (these participants will be the comparison group).
- Cohort 2: Adults ages 18+ who are diagnosed with carotid artery stenosis and are undergoing carotid artery revascularization.
