- Body weight training
- Fitness programs for older adults
- Functional fitness training
- Outdoor activities
What are Wearables?
- Small, portable, lightweight devices
- Worn on, close to, or in the body
- Monitor, analyze, transmit, and/or receive data
- Used by a wide range of individuals
Wearables and Energy Expenditure
- Accuracy of energy expenditure estimates varies between activities
- Larger errors are observed from devices using accelerometry alone
- Adding heart rate sensing improves energy expenditure estimates in most activities
- Research-grade devices may not be superior to commercial devices in some activity types
Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Athletics
- CGMs monitor glucose in diabetics
- Used in non-diabetics to guide pre/during/post exercise CHO intake
- The link between blood sugar and performance is complex
- Low blood sugar does not always result in fatigue, and vice versa
Validation of Oura Ring Energy Expenditure and Steps
- Oura Ring tends to underestimate energy expenditure (EE) compared with reference monitors.
- Significant errors in sitting, standing, fast walking, and running.
- Step count correlates strongly with pedometers, but overestimates
Devices for Monitoring Training Loads and Movement
- mPower: Measures muscle activation
- Mettis Trainer: Biomechanical shoe insoles to monitor cadence, distance, impact force
- PUSH: Accelerometer and gyroscope attached to a strap to record velocity, power, and total work
Devices for Monitoring HR and HRV
- Omega Wave: Heart rate variability, neuromuscular, sensorimotor and physical work capacity
- MioSlice: Monitors physical activity levels and heart rate
- HELO: Monitors blood pressure, heart rate, ECG
Devices for Monitoring Sleep
- Fitbit Flex/Charge2: Wristbands tracking sleep time and time in bed
- Sleep Shepherd: Fabric headband monitoring EEG signals to reduce brain activity for sleep
- HUSH: Wireless earplugs connected to a mobile app playing soothing music for sleep
- Dreampad: Pillow connected to a mobile app playing programmable songs for sleep promotion
Challenges with Wearable Monitoring
- Accuracy of VO2 estimation (some devices rely on speed/inclination)
- How EE is measured (use of body mass, age, activity)
- HR/HRV accuracy (influenced by body temperature and metabolism)
- "Step" detection and sensitivity thresholds
Validity and Reliability of Wearable Devices
- There is a risk of errors in device measures for steps, energy expenditure and heart rate
Recommendations for Using Wearable Technology in Sleep and Circadian Research
- PSG (polysomnography) is the gold standard, but it has drawbacks (cost, personnel, reliance on manual scoring, imperfect inter-rater reliability)
- Wearable devices need to be carefully validated and accurate, reliable, efficient and measured longitudinally
Limitations of Wearable Technology
- Only ~5% of wearables are formally validated
- Algorithms are proprietary
- Digital 'black box'
- Imperfect data collection (e.g., weather, stoppages)
- Cost prohibitive
- Health inequalities exacerbated
Conceptual Data Analytics Framework
- Descriptive: Data collection and basic monitoring
- Diagnostic: Relating training intensity and improvement
- Predictive: Forecasting training outcomes
- Prescriptive: Optimal strategies for improving performance
User Types, Psycho-social Effects and Societal Trends
- Different user types (e.g., well-paid consultant, single mother, technophile informatician)
- Psycho-social effects of wearable technology use (e.g., motivation, addiction, social pressure)
- Societal trends related to CHT use (e.g., datafication, economization, individualization)
Considerations
- Self-diagnosis based on self-gathered data may not be consistent with clinical diagnoses
- Self-monitoring can reveal undiagnosed health problems but there are also false positives/negatives
- Continuous monitoring can produce an unhealthy obsession with personal health
