Building a Better Tracker: Older Consumers Weigh In on Activity and Sleep Mon...Longevity Network

��

Roughly 1 in 10 Americans own an activity or sleep tracker. But do older consumers see these devices as valuable in their quest to improve their health and manage chronic conditions? AARP’s Project Catalyst and the Georgia Technology Research Institute’s HomeLab examined this question – and the market opportunity – by conducting a real-world study. Participants 50-plus used these devices in their daily activities for six weeks and shared their experiences, observations, frustrations and recommendations for product improvements. Trackers showed promise for improving overall health with older consumers. Seventy-seven percent of participants reported trackers to be useful, and 45 percent reported increased motivation for healthier living; but usability issues presented major barriers to adoption by older consumers.

SMART WAIST BELT FOR HEALTH MONITORINGIRJET Journal

��

This document summarizes a research paper that designed a smart waist belt for health monitoring. The belt tracks steps, posture, heart rate and classifies activities using sensors and a random forest machine learning algorithm. It achieved high accuracy rates between 90-95% for classifying activities like sitting, walking and standing. The smart waist belt addresses issues with current fitness trackers and promotes an active lifestyle. It provides real-time health data to a mobile app and cloud for access and analysis. This allows users to conveniently self-monitor health metrics and get notifications about posture.

This study had three objectives: 1) to determine if an activity-tracking device could increase physical activity, 2) to test if the Theory of Planned Behavior could predict physical activity, and 3) to examine the relationship between physical activity and mobile/transport time. The study found that physical activity significantly increased when wearing the tracking device but the TPB did not predict activity levels. Physical activity also showed no relationship with mobile/transport time. The study supports using tracking devices to encourage physical activity but found limitations with applying the TPB in a technology context and sustaining long-term behavior change.

Gait Analysis in BiomechanicsDr Nishank Verma

��

Gait analysis is the study of human locomotion, in particular walking and running gait patterns. It can be used to assess biomechanical abnormalities and aid in clinical diagnosis and treatment planning. Visual analysis and video recording allow observation of gait but provide limited objective data. Simple measurements of temporal and spatial gait parameters like cycle time, stride length and speed can be made using basic equipment like a stopwatch and tape measure. More advanced systems like footswitches, instrumented walkways and motion capture provide detailed quantitative spatiotemporal and kinematic data on foot-floor contact and joint motion during gait.

What if there is no killer app for wearables?Valencell, Inc

��

There are likely to be hundreds use cases for wearables across many different industries and markets that wearables will enable. The form factors, data, and user interfaces will likely be very different, but the key is to understand that the wearable devices are one part of a comprehensive user experience that supports achieving specific goals or objectives. Even the most common current use case - fitness and activity tracking - is being vastly underserved by the offerings in the market today because they lack a compelling user experience. And it’s critical we get those objectives and user experiences right if the wearables market is going to realize the massive growth that many are predicting in the next few years.

HUMAN ACTIVITY TRACKING BY MOBILE PHONES THROUGH HEBBIAN LEARNINGgerogepatton

��

A method for human activity recognition using mobile phones is introduced. Using the accelerometer and gyroscope typically found in modern smartphones, a system that uses the proposed method is able to recognize low level activities, including athletic exercises, with high accuracy. A Hebbian learning preprocessing stage is used to render accelerometer and gyroscope signals independent to the orientation of the smartphone inside the user’s pocket. After preprocessing, a selected set of features are obtained and used for classification by a k-nearest neighbor or a multilayer perceptron. The trained algorithm achieves an accuracy of 95.3 percent when using the multilayer perceptron and tested on unknown users who are asked to perform the exercises after placing the mobile device in their pocket without any constraints on the orientation. Comparison of performance with respect to other popular methods is provided.

A randomized controlled trial (RCT) of telerehabilitation on exercise capacit...Charles Perkins Centre, University of Sydney

��

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of an 8-week telerehabilitation exercise program on exercise capacity, physical activity, and quality of life in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) compared to no rehabilitation. The telerehabilitation group will receive 3 supervised sessions per week of walking, cycling, and functional exercises at home via videoconferencing, along with 2 unsupervised home sessions. Outcome measures will assess exercise capacity, physical activity, quality of life, symptoms, and self-efficacy. Results so far include 6 participants recruited with 3 in each group.

Objective measures of patrieducation

��

Objective measures of physical activity include heart rate telemetry, accelerometers, pedometers, and direct observation. Heart rate telemetry uses a watch to measure heart rate during exercise to estimate energy expenditure. Accelerometers provide detailed information on frequency, duration, and intensity of activity. Pedometers count steps to measure distance walked. Direct observation is the most accurate but least practical as it involves directly observing and recording a person's physical activity. These objective measures are used to evaluate physical activity guidelines, health relationships, and the effectiveness of interventions.

Case Studies in Home Cage Monitoring: Rodent Behavior, Circadian Biology and ...InsideScientific

��

Automated home cage behavioral monitoring is receiving increasing attention from the scientific community because of its benefits with regards to translational research, data replicability and animal welfare. In this webinar, Kenneth Dyar (Helmholtz Diabetes Center) and Joanna Moore (GSK) discuss how home cage monitoring can be used to reduce animal stress, optimize methodology and guide physiology and animal behavior research. Dr. Kenneth Dyar Passive locomotor activity monitoring for real-time circadian study design Circadian clocks are fundamental determinants of physiology, behavior and health. For skeletal muscle, the circadian clock promotes insulin sensitivity and orchestrates rhythms of glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism. Physical activity synchronizes circadian clocks by altering body temperature and through distribution of various hormones and metabolites. Research suggests that misalignment of the ‘muscle clock’ plays an important pathophysiological role in metabolic disease. In this webinar, Dr. Kenneth Dyar highlights some examples of how the DVC system can be used for locomotor activity monitoring in order to evaluate circadian alignment before, during or after various dietary and pharmacological interventions. Dr. Joanna Moore Using home-cage monitoring to determine the impact of timed mating on male mouse welfare The use of sterile male mice to induce pseudopregnancy in female mice assigned for the implantation of embryos is a vital component in the production of Genetically Altered Animals (GAA). This process involves swapping a genetically sterile male’s female companion for a new female. In this presentation, Dr. Joanna Moore discusses the use of home cage activity monitoring to evaluate the potential impact of this procedure on the welfare of male mice and how the impact of this intervention may be reduced. All animal studies were ethically reviewed and carried out in accordance with the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 and the GSK Policy on the Care, Welfare and Treatment of Animals. Key topics will include… - Using home cage activity as a readout for animal welfare - Using locomotor activity to optimize methodology and validate study design in real-time - Pre-study screening of cohorts for outliers

Emerging Technologies, Physical Activity, and HealthEbo Dawson-Andoh

This document discusses the health benefits of physical activity and emerging technologies that can help increase physical activity levels. It summarizes research showing that regular exercise reduces the risk of chronic diseases and mortality. Studies found that activity tracking devices can significantly increase physical activity and decrease weight, especially for those at higher risk. Adherence to tracking was associated with greater weight loss. While promising, more research is still needed to establish the efficacy of tracking technologies compared to other interventions and ensure valid measurement from consumer devices. Overall, the evidence suggests technology-based tools have potential to promote preventative healthcare through physical activity.

It describes the IPAQ as assessing physical activity across leisure, domestic, work, and transport domains for both forms. The short form evaluates walking, moderate, and vigorous activities while the long form provides domain-specific estimates. 3. Scoring can provide continuous MET-minute variables or classify responses into low, moderate, and high physical activity categories based on meeting certain daily physical activity thresholds.

Using new technologies for understanding and changing behaviorsIlkka Korhonen

��

This document summarizes a workshop on using new technologies to understand and change health behaviors. It provides two examples of how continuous digital data can provide insights: daily self-weighing data over a year showed patterns in weight variability that associated with weight management success; analysis of heart rate variability data from over 14,000 individuals revealed novel patterns in physical activity levels by weekday and month. The document concludes that data from modern wearables can help develop dynamic computational models of behavior to support health behavior change and maintenance.

How Caffeine Affects Blood Sugar: Its Influence on Glucose Levels, Insulin Se...Dr. Mayank Somani

��

Caffeine, a widely consumed stimulant found in coffee, tea, and energy drinks, has significant effects on the body, particularly on blood sugar regulation. Understanding how caffeine interacts with glucose metabolism is essential, especially for individuals managing diabetes. Caffeine can impact blood sugar levels by reducing insulin sensitivity, making it harder for cells to absorb glucose efficiently. It also triggers stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which can lead to temporary spikes in blood sugar. Additionally, caffeine affects sleep quality, and poor sleep is linked to impaired blood sugar control. It can also influence appetite, sometimes reducing hunger or triggering cravings for high-carb foods. However, caffeine has potential benefits, including antioxidants and metabolism-boosting properties, which may help in diabetes management when consumed in moderation. Striking a balance is key—while caffeine can have both positive and negative effects on blood sugar, monitoring intake and consulting a diabetologist, such as Dr. Mayank Somani, can help individuals make informed decisions about their caffeine consumption.

2. What is ActivPal? • ActivPal is an objective monitor used to collect data about activity level directly • It is a small and slim thigh-worn monitor (PAL Technologies Ltd., Glasgow, UK) • It is useully attached on skin with stackies • Can collect the data for 7 days contentously Huda Alfatafta

3. 1 Time spending sitting/lying, standing, walking Option 1 Step count Option 2 Cadence Option 3 4 Posture transition Option 4 Collected Data Huda Alfatafta

4. How ActivPal works The algorithm used by the ActivPal software uses information from static acceleration (due to gravity) and angle of the thigh to classify posture (lying/sitting vs. upright) and dynamic acceleration (due to body movement) to determine stepping. Huda Alfatafta

5. ActivPal Setup How it works: 1 Connect t The ActivPal with PC via USB cable 2 Open the ActivPal software and activate it. The software allows researchers to select an immediate start time for recording 3 Then, ActivPal will start collecting data when the light is turned into green color Huda Alfatafta

6. Data Visualisation (Raw Data) 1 Yellow color shows sitting or lying down activities 2 Green color shows walking activity 3 Red color shows walking (stepping ) activity Huda Alfatafta

7. Downloaded Data 1 2 A 15 s epoch summary file shows the number of seconds spent in various activities Also, data can be classified hour per hour or day by day or by week Huda Alfatafta

8. Validity and Reliability The ActivPal monitor has demonstrated excellent reliability and validity for use in physical activity 1 Internal reliability for the ActivPal device ranged from 0.79 to 0.99 (Grant et al.26). 2 Correlations between the ActivPal and video observation in total numbers of sit-to-stand and stand- to-sit transitions were high (r = 0.99 ± 0.01) (Aminian, and Hinckson, 2012. 3 ActivPal is a valid, objective measurement tool (Dowd et al., 2012) Huda Alfatafta
