Development and Beta Validation of an mHealth-Based Hearing Screener (SRESHT) for Young Children in Resource-Limited Countries: Pilot Validation Study

Development and Beta Validation of an mHealth-Based Hearing Screener (SRESHT) for Young Children in Resource-Limited Countries: Pilot Validation Study

To achieve optimal outcomes using amplification devices, it is necessary to screen, identify, and intervene children before 6 months of age [1]. In high-income countries, there are often policies for newborn hearing screening and hearing screening of young school-aged children [1]. On the other hand, in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), such mandatory policies do not exist.

Research Trends on Metabolic Syndrome in Digital Health Care Using Topic Modeling: Systematic Search of Abstracts

Research Trends on Metabolic Syndrome in Digital Health Care Using Topic Modeling: Systematic Search of Abstracts

Advances in the information and communication technology sector have facilitated health care delivery through mobile apps, wearable devices, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and telemedicine [7]. Digital health care has already been extensively applied across various health care domains. For instance, smart bands, a category of wearable devices, can quantify PA metrics such as step count, walking distance, and walking intensity [8].

Validity of a Consumer-Based Wearable to Measure Clinical Parameters in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Healthy Controls: Observational Study

Validity of a Consumer-Based Wearable to Measure Clinical Parameters in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Healthy Controls: Observational Study

These studies used various devices, including medical-grade devices (such as the Acti Graph GT3 X+ and Dynaport Move Monitor for daily step count, and the Polar H7 for heart rate), as well as gold-standard measurements (such as ECG Holter monitoring for heart rate), to assess the validity of Fitbit wearables.

Data Visualization Preferences in Remote Measurement Technology for Individuals Living With Depression, Epilepsy, and Multiple Sclerosis: Qualitative Study

Data Visualization Preferences in Remote Measurement Technology for Individuals Living With Depression, Epilepsy, and Multiple Sclerosis: Qualitative Study

Remote measurement technology (RMT) involves the use of wearable devices and smartphone apps to measure health outcomes in everyday life. Real-time, continuous symptom tracking has the potential to revolutionize the self-management of chronic conditions [1]. Feedback of data, in the form of data visual representations, can facilitate patient-driven health care and present opportunities for intervention by raising awareness of symptom patterns or prompting health appointments [2-5].

Using Games to Simulate Medication Adherence and Nonadherence: Laboratory Experiment in Gamified Behavioral Simulation

Using Games to Simulate Medication Adherence and Nonadherence: Laboratory Experiment in Gamified Behavioral Simulation

This motivated our selection of the use of commitment devices as one of the treatment groups in the modeling experiment. Commitment devices have been used in various contexts, such as smoking cessation, weight loss, exercise, and savings. Some studies have also explored the use of commitment devices for medication adherence among patients with chronic conditions, such as HIV, diabetes, or hypertension [28].

Continuous Monitoring of Heart Rate Variability in Free-Living Conditions Using Wearable Sensors: Exploratory Observational Study

Continuous Monitoring of Heart Rate Variability in Free-Living Conditions Using Wearable Sensors: Exploratory Observational Study

Among wearable sensors, commercial-off-the-shelf devices, such as smartwatches and smart rings, that integrate heart rate (HR), blood oxygen, and activity monitors are popular devices for use in real-world physiological monitoring because of their already broad owner base and form factor that is compatible with long-term wear [3].

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

Additionally, researchers developed their methodologies to calculate oxygen uptake using wearable devices or smartphones [17-20]. Previous research further validated various fitness tests carried out using smartphones, offering additional insights into the accuracy of these devices in evaluating physical metrics [21,22].
