Leveraging Accelerometry and Heart Rate Data from Consumer Wearables to Predict Physical Activity in Children: A Device Agnostic Approach

Except for Fitbit, accelerometry and HR data from consumer wearables predicted PAEE comparably to research-grade devices, and there was little variability across modeling approach. These outcomes support deploying a consumer wearable device-agnostic approach for PAEE estimation in children.

Abstract

Except for Fitbit, accelerometry and HR data from consumer wearables predicted PAEE comparably to research-grade devices, and there was little variability across modeling approach. These outcomes support deploying a consumer wearable device-agnostic approach for PAEE estimation in children.
