Evaluating Physical Activity Monitors for Use in Personal Health Research
چکیده
We propose to evaluate end-user physical activity monitors that can record and display information such as distance, pace and/or cadence information, and physiological information such as current and average heart rate and calories burned. This evaluation will be conducted to aid us in framing high-level approaches for evaluating physical activity monitoring devices used in research systems and studies. The devices we evaluate need not only comply with standard development technologies employed in research systems (such as web-based programming languages and data acquisition protocols), but must also be usable by study participants who will rely on them to capture activity data in a range of scenarios.
