Assessment of Wrist-Worn Activity Tracker Accuracy for Measuring Sedentary Behavior in Outpatients With Cardiovascular Disease: Validation Study
By Naito K, Izawa KP, Maeda N and 4 others.
Abstract
Background
Wearable monitoring of sedentary behavior is increasingly used in digital cardiovascular care, but the validity of consumer-grade wrist-worn trackers in older patients with cardiac issues is unclear.
Objective
This study aimed to evaluate the agreement between sedentary time measured by a consumer-grade wrist-worn tracker (Fitbit Inspire 3; Fitbit LLC) and a research-grade waist-worn accelerometer (ActiveStyle Pro HJA-750C; Omron Healthcare Co, Ltd) used as the comparator, in Japanese outpatients with cardiac issues under free-living conditions.
