Vibrotactile Feedback Strategies for Trunk-Stabilizing Exercises in a Home-Based Scenario: Qualitative Interview Study Among Physiotherapists

Vibrotactile Feedback Strategies for Trunk-Stabilizing Exercises in a Home-Based Scenario: Qualitative Interview Study Among Physiotherapists

This tactile feedback can be delivered through wearable systems. This study is part of a broader effort to develop a haptic physiotherapy assistant, including a wearable device that provides vibrotactile feedback. Among the wearable formats, the shirt stands out as particularly promising due to its ability to cover larger areas of the body, allowing for precise and distributed feedback during rehabilitation exercises.

Recovery of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures vs Gait Parameters Obtained by Instrumented Insoles After Tibial and Malleolar Fractures: Prospective Longitudinal Observational Study

Recovery of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures vs Gait Parameters Obtained by Instrumented Insoles After Tibial and Malleolar Fractures: Prospective Longitudinal Observational Study

Wearable devices such as instrumented insoles have been shown to provide excellent objective measures for monitoring rehabilitation progress after surgery and injury, whereas responses obtained from questionnaires reflect subjective patient perspectives [1-3]. It is currently unknown whether and how the trajectories of these separate measures differ throughout recovery. This information, however, is crucial for drawing correct conclusions from such data in clinical practice and research.

Feasibility of Data Collection Via Consumer-Grade Wearable Devices in Adolescent Student Athletes: Prospective Longitudinal Cohort Study

Feasibility of Data Collection Via Consumer-Grade Wearable Devices in Adolescent Student Athletes: Prospective Longitudinal Cohort Study

The Fitbit Sense (Fitbit Inc) is a wrist-worn wearable device designed for continuous monitoring of various physiological parameters, such as heart rate, resting heart rate, step counts, daily minutes of vigorous activity, and sleep patterns and architecture. This wearable device was chosen because of its long battery life (up to 6 d) and its durability, including waterproofing.

Recommendations for Successful Development and Implementation of Digital Health Technology Tools

Recommendations for Successful Development and Implementation of Digital Health Technology Tools

In the form of mobile health (m Health) apps, wearable devices, telemedicine, molecular technologies, enhanced electronic health records, and associated advanced analytics, these tools are being used to optimize and streamline clinical workflows [1]. Entirely new forms of health care are envisioned that are not only more participatory and personalized but also seamlessly integrated into patients’ daily routines and environments.

Trade-Offs Between Simplifying Inertial Measurement Unit–Based Movement Recordings and the Attainability of Different Levels of Analyses: Systematic Assessment of Method Variations

Trade-Offs Between Simplifying Inertial Measurement Unit–Based Movement Recordings and the Attainability of Different Levels of Analyses: Systematic Assessment of Method Variations

For at-home measurements of naturalistic activity, we have recently developed a multisensor wearable suit for infants (MAIJU, motor ability assessment of infants with a jumpsuit [28-32]), using 4 IMU sensors that collect triaxial accelerometer and gyroscope signals at 52 Hz. The data analysis uses a validated, deep learning–based analytical pipeline to provide a human-equivalent level classification of postures (7 categories) and generic movements (9 categories) for each second of the recording [29].

Longitudinal Digital Phenotyping of Multiple Sclerosis Severity Using Passively Sensed Behaviors and Ecological Momentary Assessments: Real-World Evaluation

Longitudinal Digital Phenotyping of Multiple Sclerosis Severity Using Passively Sensed Behaviors and Ecological Momentary Assessments: Real-World Evaluation

Previous works using passively sensed smartphone and wearable data to predict MS outcomes explored the feasibility of passive data collection and the preliminary association between sensed behaviors and standard rater-assessed clinical outcomes [6-14]. However, little is known regarding the clinical applicability of continuous longitudinal digital phenotyping to predict the severity of clinically relevant patient-reported symptoms in people with MS.

Collecting Real-Life Psychophysiological Data via Wearables to Better Understand Child Behavior in a Children’s Psychiatric Center: Mixed Methods Study on Feasibility and Implementation

Collecting Real-Life Psychophysiological Data via Wearables to Better Understand Child Behavior in a Children’s Psychiatric Center: Mixed Methods Study on Feasibility and Implementation

After wearing the wearable for 5 consecutive days, children received a diploma and a first insight in the data was shown to their parents. The data were recorded locally on the device. By connecting the wearable to the computer, the accompanying software extracts and synchronizes all recorded data to the Empatica server (as is default). After downloading all data as a zip file containing several .csv files, the data were only locally stored at the UMCU and deleted from the server.

Using Personalized Intervention Criteria in a Mobile Just-in-Time Adaptive Intervention for Increasing Physical Activity in University Students: Pilot Study

Using Personalized Intervention Criteria in a Mobile Just-in-Time Adaptive Intervention for Increasing Physical Activity in University Students: Pilot Study

Physical activity was measured using a wrist-worn wearable activity monitor (Fitbit Inspire 2). The active monitor estimates sedentary time (minutes), lightly active time (minutes), fairly active time (minutes), very active time (minutes), calories (kcal), steps (n), and distance moved (m). Steps are calculated by the 3-axis accelerometer, while distance moved is automatically calculated based on the number of steps and the participant’s stride length.

Using Digital Phenotyping to Discriminate Unipolar Depression and Bipolar Disorder: Systematic Review

Using Digital Phenotyping to Discriminate Unipolar Depression and Bipolar Disorder: Systematic Review

Eligible studies involved participants diagnosed with UD, BD, or HC and used portable or wearable digital devices such as smartphone apps, wearable sensors, or audio or visual recordings. The studies were required to either compare digital phenotyping results with diagnostic outcomes from professional medical evaluations, compare UD with BD, or perform a classification task involving UD, BD, and HC.
