Patient Acceptability and Technical Reliability of Wearable Devices Used for Monitoring People With Parkinson Disease: Survey Study

Patient Acceptability and Technical Reliability of Wearable Devices Used for Monitoring People With Parkinson Disease: Survey Study

The National Institute of Health and Care Excellence has conditionally recommended some wearable devices for remote monitoring of PD. However, the exact role, indication, and type of device is unclear, and evidence on the use of wearable devices is limited [6]. The cost, burden on patients and services, and effectiveness to improve clinical outcomes have not yet been assessed.

Acceptability and Effectiveness of a Fully Web-Based Nutrition and Exercise Program for Individuals With Chronic Disease During COVID-19: Randomized Controlled Trial

Acceptability and Effectiveness of a Fully Web-Based Nutrition and Exercise Program for Individuals With Chronic Disease During COVID-19: Randomized Controlled Trial

The requirement of being an exercise graduate reflected concerns over the safety and complexity of participants having to learn exercise in an entirely web-based environment on top of new tasks (eg, wearable device, learning to use the Heal-Me app, nutrition tracking, and participating in home-based digital physical function assessments) all during the time of COVID-19.

Reliability of Average Daily Steps Measured Through a Consumer Smartwatch in Parkinson Disease Phenotypes, Stages, and Severities: Cross-Sectional Study

Reliability of Average Daily Steps Measured Through a Consumer Smartwatch in Parkinson Disease Phenotypes, Stages, and Severities: Cross-Sectional Study

Wearable devices, including smartwatches, could represent a useful option to estimate daily steps in an unobtrusive, ecological way [15]. Moreover, wearables are widely available on the market, easily used by the general population, and enable unobtrusive continuous long-term data collection [16]. However, since these devices are usually tested in healthy populations, knowledge of the validity and reliability of collected data is generally limited when applied to different groups of patients.

Use of Wearable Transdermal Alcohol Sensors for Monitoring Alcohol Consumption After Detoxification With Contingency Management: Pilot Randomized Feasibility Trial

Use of Wearable Transdermal Alcohol Sensors for Monitoring Alcohol Consumption After Detoxification With Contingency Management: Pilot Randomized Feasibility Trial

Various wearable transdermal alcohol sensor (TAS) devices have been developed. These devices measure alcohol consumption from alcohol vapors in the skin via sweat, known as transdermal alcohol concentration (TAC), and can record at automated regular intervals. One potential use of TASs is as a tool for objective alcohol measurement in clinical alcohol treatment.

Impact on Patient Outcomes of Continuous Vital Sign Monitoring on Medical Wards: Propensity-Matched Analysis

Impact on Patient Outcomes of Continuous Vital Sign Monitoring on Medical Wards: Propensity-Matched Analysis

The advent of wearable and wireless devices capable of continuous VS monitoring integrated into the clinical workflow offers a solution to the failure-to-detect paradigm associated with intermittent VS monitoring; however, clinical outcome data are needed. Evidence regarding outcomes with continuous VS monitoring relies almost exclusively on before-and-after comparison studies, and the research has also focused primarily on surgical patients [17].

Digital Therapeutics–Based Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation for Lung Cancer Survivors: Randomized Controlled Trial

Digital Therapeutics–Based Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation for Lung Cancer Survivors: Randomized Controlled Trial

This encompasses a range of platforms such as websites, mobile text messages, smartphone apps, and wearable devices embedded with various sensors [35]. For cardio-oncology telerehabilitation, wearable devices using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi technology facilitate remote monitoring of metrics like heart rate (HR), respiratory rate, electrocardiogram, physical activity, and other health indicators [36].

Usability and Implementation Considerations of Fitbit and App Intervention for Diverse Cancer Survivors: Mixed Methods Study

Usability and Implementation Considerations of Fitbit and App Intervention for Diverse Cancer Survivors: Mixed Methods Study

Ninety percent of US adults own a smartphone and 40%‐60% a wearable device [12,13]. As digital health programs are becoming increasingly more accessible, more strategies are needed to increase the reach of these programs, particularly as the number of cancer survivors grows annually [14]. This pilot study differs from past research in several ways.

A Classroom-Based Intervention for Reducing Sedentary Behavior and Improving Spinal Health: Pragmatic Stepped-Wedge Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

A Classroom-Based Intervention for Reducing Sedentary Behavior and Improving Spinal Health: Pragmatic Stepped-Wedge Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Wearable IMUs allow for the assessment of postural dynamism in an ecologically valid setting of the classroom. The IMUs combine on-board triaxial gyroscopes, accelerometers, and magnetometers for accurate sensor orientation tracking [22]. IMUs were attached to the head with an elasticated Velcro belt and to the neck, thorax, and sacrum directly to the skin using double-sided tape.

Effects of Missing Data on Heart Rate Variability Measured From A Smartwatch: Exploratory Observational Study

Effects of Missing Data on Heart Rate Variability Measured From A Smartwatch: Exploratory Observational Study

Remote patient monitoring using digitally transmitted health data through wearable physiological and activity sensors offers many benefits and is gaining acceptance in the medical community [1]. For example, applications of remote monitoring include acute conditions such as COVID-19 recovery [2] along with chronic conditions such as heart failure [3], chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [4], and diabetes [5].

Validity, Accuracy, and Safety Assessment of an Aerobic Interval Training Using an App-Based Prehabilitation Program (PROTEGO MAXIMA Trial) Before Major Surgery: Prospective, Interventional Pilot Study

Validity, Accuracy, and Safety Assessment of an Aerobic Interval Training Using an App-Based Prehabilitation Program (PROTEGO MAXIMA Trial) Before Major Surgery: Prospective, Interventional Pilot Study

In particular, mobile health (m Health) apps that leverage mobile wireless technologies and integrate with wearable devices are powerful tools for achieving health objectives through self- and remote monitoring, personalized goal setting, and gamification [16,17]. Wearable devices used for monitoring heart rate and activity are increasingly evaluated in accuracy validation studies [18,19].
