Validating and Testing Wearable Sensors to Assess Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior in the Center for Personalized Health Monitoring

Abstract

As part of the mini-symposium entitled "Creating Devices for Personalized Health Monitoring," Dr. Freedson highlights her group’s research on the calibration and validation of wearable physical activity sensors and how these sensors are used to examine the relationship between physical activity dose and health-related responses. She also discusses research pertaining to sleep monitoring sensors conducted by Dr. Rebecca Spencer in the Department of Psychology.
