- 📊 #DelphiStudy update: Round 1 received many completed questionnaires (n = 254) and valuable comments (n = 317) for our checklist and quality assessment — thank you to everyone who contributed! 🙏 We’re now reviewing all feedback and will prepare Round 2. More soon! #ResearchNetwork #Wearables
- Exciting News: Our new #Wearables #Database is live! 📊Our team has compiled a systematic, internet-based market analysis of currently available wearable sensors into an interactive database to: - Search for wearables & their features - Get a fast overview of validation studies
- 📢 New paper out! We calibrated and evaluated MET models for walking and jogging using the Move 4 wearable on the ankle and thigh — with strong agreement vs indirect calorimetry (gold-standard). Great progress for high-resolution energy-expenditure estimation using Move 4 accelerometers 👏 #Wearables
- Welcome to our guest researcher, Dr. Saeid Azadifar from @oulu.fi 🇫🇮 He collaborates with us at @kit.edu and held an excellent talk on “Machine Learning of Digital Biomarkers to Predict Mental Health Outcomes.” Looking forward to more inspiring discussions over the next two weeks. #Wearables
- 📢 Save the date! 🗓️ Nov 26–28 | DIGISPORT Winter School 2025 in Rennes, France 🇫🇷 Theme: “Quantify, Analyze, Prescribe: The Digital Shift in Physical Activity and Health” Join sessions on #wearables, 24-h movement behavior, VR & health, and digital innovation 👉 digisport-ws2.sciencesconf.org
- #MemberMonday Insights from last week’s Wearable Landscape meeting: a big thanks to our core members and supporting students for weekly developing the initiative — and (of course) having some fun along the way :) Let’s keep building our living network! 🌍💡 #Wearables #OpenScience #Collaboration
- 📊 New review on 24-h movement behavior assessment using #accelerometers! 102 studies across all ages show huge variation in protocols — from wear-time rules and epoch lengths to cut-points and devices. 🗝️ Harmonization is key to make results more comparable across studies and countries. #Wearables
- 🚀 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
- #LivingReview Update ✨ - Full text screening done: n=263 included validation studies. - Data Extraction and Quality Assessment in progress. - Network members involved. With more included studies and extensive DE and QA, we welcome all members with the capacity to support us 🫱🏼🫲🏽 #Wearables
- #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 🗝️
- 🎯 Testing the accuracy of 21 #algorithms for estimating sedentary time with wrist-worn #wearables revealed only 5 (24%) were within 10% of the gold standard. Two machine learning 🤖 and three posture-based cut-points performed best. Great contribution to identify precise algorithms for wearable data!
- #MemberMonday Wrap-Up Over the last 10 weeks, we’ve introduced our amazing Advisory Board – experts in the fields of wearables ⌚️, physical activity 🏃🏽♂️➡️, health research 💟 and more. A huge thanks to all for supporting our initative and stay tuned for more updates. #academicsky #wearables
- 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! 🎯
- More #SleepResearch 💤 A study in patients with central disorders of hypersomnolence compared actigraphy algorithms versus 24 h polysomnography. The authors found a partly underestimation of nighttime sleep and a clear overestimation of daytime sleep and 24-h sleep. Caution for diagnosis. #Wearables
- #MemberMonday Dr. Birte von Haaren-Mack´s research focuses on interrelationships between physical activity and stress. She has years of methodological experience in physical activity and stress monitoring using Ambulatory Assessment methods. #Wearables #AmbulatoryAssessment #academicsky 🧪
- New research alert 🚨 A memory-foam in-ear wearable shows strong agreement with gold standard polysomnography recordings in the assessment of sleep quality and even outperforms actigraphy. This enables simplified, accurate and low-cost home-based sleep monitoring. #Wearables #BehavSci #Sleep
