- 🚀 Kick-off: #DelphiStudy on Wearable #Validation We are excited to announce the start of our Delphi study on the development of ✅ a standardized reporting checklist for wearable validation studies, and ✅ a quality assessment tool for systematic evaluation. #Wearables #OpenScience #Collaboration
- #Wearables step-count validation ✅⌚ In a study of 21 wearables on the treadmill, authors found significant effects of walking speed, wear position, and age on accuravy. Many wearables track steps reasonably well, independent from being a commercial or research-grade device. #Validation is key 🗝️
- 🚨New study targeting different wear locations in children with activPAL (thigh) & ActiGraph (wrist) revealed... - differences on average acceleration - strong agreement on intensity metrics Great insights into comparable physical activity analysis across devices and wear locations. #Validation
- Why is #validation essential for wearable-use in research? Not all #wearables are created equal. Their validity depends on context such as target behavior, sensor placement, and assessed population. Therefore, validation studies are crucial to improve feedback and ensure measurment accuracy! 🎯
