Usefulness of Modern Activity Trackers for Monitoring Exercise Behavior in Chronic Cardiac Patients: Validation Study

Usefulness of Modern Activity Trackers for Monitoring Exercise Behavior in Chronic Cardiac Patients: Validation Study

Kraal et al found that combining heart rate (HR) with accelerometer data provides a higher accuracy for measuring EE than using accelerometer or HR data alone in patients with CAD [20]. However, in this study, a hip-worn accelerometer was combined with a chest belt to record HR, which is not feasible for all-day use. Wrist-worn activity trackers can provide a nonobtrusive solution combining HR and accelerometer data for calculation of EE.
