Assessing the Accuracy of Smartwatch-Based Estimation of Maximum Oxygen Uptake Using the Apple Watch Series 7: Validation Study

Assessing the Accuracy of Smartwatch-Based Estimation of Maximum Oxygen Uptake Using the Apple Watch Series 7: Validation Study

Accordingly, given the impracticality of VO2max assessments for everyday application and their limited accessibility by the general population, the emergence of fitness trackers has provided a convenient and accessible alternative for estimating VO2max in real-world settings. A recent survey shows that 21% of Americans already use a smartwatch or a fitness tracker such as the Garmin, Fitbit, or Apple Watch [12].

Smart Device Ownership and Use of Social Media, Wearable Trackers, and Health Apps Among Black Women With Hypertension in the United States: National Survey Study

Smart Device Ownership and Use of Social Media, Wearable Trackers, and Health Apps Among Black Women With Hypertension in the United States: National Survey Study

We examined smart device ownership and use of social media, wearable activity trackers, and health apps among Black women with hypertension in the United States. We analyzed cross-sectional data from the 2022 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS6). Details on HINTS methodology are available on the web [5]. Briefly, civilian, noninstitutionalized adults living in the United States were sampled using a 2-stage design and completed a web-based or mail survey.

Can a Free Wearable Activity Tracker Change Behavior? The Impact of Trackers on Adults in a Physician-Led Wellness Group

Can a Free Wearable Activity Tracker Change Behavior? The Impact of Trackers on Adults in a Physician-Led Wellness Group

The aim of this pilot research is to investigate the use of wearable activity trackers (trackers) by primarily older adults with chronic medical conditions who have never used trackers previously. This population is among the least likely to purchase trackers and the most likely to face challenges in using them, yet may derive educational, motivational, and health benefits from their use once these barriers are removed.

Associations of Wearable Activity Tracker Use With Physical Activity and Health Outcomes in Patients With Cancer: Findings from a Population-Based Survey Study

Associations of Wearable Activity Tracker Use With Physical Activity and Health Outcomes in Patients With Cancer: Findings from a Population-Based Survey Study

However, wearable activity trackers were often used as an adjunct to physical activity intervention or weight loss programs, which limits the ability to rule out the influence of other physical activity intervention components and determine the effectiveness of wearable activity trackers alone.

Mining Sensor Data to Assess Changes in Physical Activity Behaviors in Health Interventions: Systematic Review

Mining Sensor Data to Assess Changes in Physical Activity Behaviors in Health Interventions: Systematic Review

In 7 out of the 19 (37%) selected studies, accelerometers were used with other sensors such as GPS tracking [10,16,17], compass position tracking [17,20], heart rate trackers [17,21], and smart scales [15,19]. The recorded raw data varied in function of the sensor characteristics, including sampling frequency, accuracy, and axis number. Moreover, other sensor features such as battery duration and storage capacity affected the recording length.
