ABCs: How to Measure Physical Activity with Devices? (Pt2) Drs Cabrita and Tikkanen

<p>What are the basics of physical activity measurement with devices?</p> <p>a. Sensor location: thigh, hip, back, wrist b. Type of data you can get: raw -> steps -> activity type -> activity intensity -> “complexity” c. Considerations to have when choosing a sensor      i. User-friendliness (battery, aesthetics, comfort, interaction required) d. Feedback to participants      i. Real-time or at defined moments e. Feedback to practitioners (dashboard) f. In most cases, you can also measure sleep.</p> <p> </p> <p>Dr Miriam Cabrita has done her Bachelor and Master degrees at NOVA School of Science and Technology in Portugal, and her PhD in biomedical engineering in University of Twente</p> <p>Then she has worked at Roessingh Research and Development Center in Netherlands for 8 years coordinating and managing EU research projects related to eHealth</p> <p>Teaching also courses on Physical Activity, Digital Health and Virtual Coaching at the University of Twente.</p> <p>She has acted as a Board Member for 5 years in International Society for the Measurement of Physical Behaviour (ISMPB)</p> <p>Currently she is working as a Chief Customer Officer at Fibion Inc.</p> <p>_____________________</p>   This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle <p>---</p> <p>Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Circadian Rhythm Solutions:</p> <p><a href='https://sleepmeasurements.fibion.com/'>https://sleepmeasurements.fibion.com/</a></p> <p>---</p> <p>Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely -</p> <p>Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS: <a href='https://sens.fibion.com/'>https://sens.fibion.com/</a></p> <p>---</p> <p>SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy. </p> <p>Learn more about Fibion Research : <a href='https://fibion.com/research/'>fibion.com/research</a></p> <p>---</p> <p>Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children.</p> <p><a href='https://fibionkids.fibion.com/'>https://fibionkids.fibion.com/</
