Vitality tracking in Kenyan adults using wearable devices and ecological momentary assessments
A high degree of compliance with wearable sensors and weekly assessments, and sound psychometrics, demonstrates the feasibility of our vitality tracking paradigm in older Kenyan adults. Future analyses will uncover biopsychosocial risk factors that contribute to irreversible loss of vitality. Findings will provide essential information for future interventional studies that aim to trial behavioral and pharmaceutical approaches to rescuing vitality in at-risk adults.
