Intelligent Eye Tracker Integrated with Cylindrical Capacitive Sensors for Chronic Fatigue Assessment Tianyi Li, Seo-Hyun Park, Changwoo Lee, Shawn Kim, Younghoon Kwon, Hojun Kim, Jae-Hyun Chung Abstract Fatigue negatively impacts health, safety, and productivity, yet current monitoring...

Hi all. I’ve made the plunge and invested in an Oura Ring 4. Reason was, I lacked confidence in the HRV readings taken by my Visible App and armband each morning - I wanted to see in more detail what is going on overnight. It’s early days, but I’ve seen some very revealing trends (that I...

Wearable heart rate variability monitoring identifies autonomic dysfunction and thresholds for post-exertional malaise in Long COVID Twan Ruijgt, Anouk Slaghekke, Anneke Ellens, Kasper Janssen, Rob CI Wust Objectives Patients with Long COVID experience disabling fatigue, autonomic dysfunction...

Smartwatch- and smartphone-based remote assessment of brain health and detection of mild cognitive impairment Butler, Paul Monroe; Yang, Jenny; Brown, Roland; Hobbs, Matt; Becker, Andrew; Penalver-Andres, Joaquin; Syz, Philippe; Muller, Sofia; Cosne, Gautier; Juraver, Adrien; Song, Han Hee...

Abstract Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is vital for delivering oxygen and nutrients to the brain. Many forms of orthostatic intolerance (OI) involve impaired regulation of CBF in the upright posture, which results in disabling symptoms that decrease quality of life. Because CBF is not easy to...

Full title: Use of passively collected actigraphy data to detect individual depressive symptoms in a clinical subpopulation and a general population. The presentation of major depressive disorder (MDD) can vary widely due to its heterogeneity, including inter- and intraindividual symptom...

Someone suggested I split off a new thread from this other thread for discussing body position tracking specifically, which seems like a good idea. Chris Armstrong from OMF brought up a device called activPAL a few months ago: Some info on activPAL: It's a device that is attached to the...

Abstract To better understand the impact of Long COVID on an individual, we explored changes in daily wearable data (step count, resting heart rate (RHR), and sleep quantity) for up to one year in individuals relative to their pre-infection baseline among 279 people with and 274 without long...
