Join our growing community!
An open-science project aiming to foster collaboration in the field of #Wearables. We want to bring experts together, to ultimately advance the validation and application in wearables that track 24-hour physical behavior (sleep, sedentary time, activity) #OpenScience
🎄 Wishing you happy holidays and a great start into 2026!
📅 Looking ahead: Which conferences will you attend in 2026?
Share your plans so we can connect and meet in person next year.

📊Our team has compiled a systematic, internet-based market analysis of currently available wearable sensors into an interactive database to:
- Search for wearables & their features
- Get a fast overview of validation studies

We calibrated and evaluated MET models for walking and jogging using the Move 4 wearable on the ankle and thigh — with strong agreement vs indirect calorimetry (gold-standard).
Great progress for high-resolution energy-expenditure estimation using Move 4 accelerometers 👏

We discussed key topics — organization, website, promotion, our living network, and funding.
Huge thanks to everyone who joined, and to those who couldn’t attend but shared their feedback via our survey.
Your input drives our initiative forward! 🙌

He collaborates with us at @kit.edu and held an excellent talk on “Machine Learning of Digital Biomarkers to Predict Mental Health Outcomes.”
Looking forward to more inspiring discussions over the next two weeks.

102 studies across all ages show huge variation in protocols — from wear-time rules and epoch lengths to cut-points and devices.
🗝️ Harmonization is key to make results more comparable across studies and countries.

In a study of 21 wearables on the treadmill, authors found significant effects of walking speed, wear position, and age on accuravy. Many wearables track steps reasonably well, independent from being a commercial or research-grade device.

Not all #wearables are created equal. Their validity depends on context such as target behavior, sensor placement, and assessed population. Therefore, validation studies are crucial to improve feedback and ensure measurment accuracy! 🎯
