Smart Wearable Device Users’ Behavior Is Essential for Physical Activity Improvement

The Impact of Wearable Devices on Physical Activity for Chronic Disease Patients: Findings from the 2019 Health Information National Trends Survey

“…All these self-management techniques improve physical activity by increasing people's self-efficacy [27]. Additionally, our research indicates that high-frequent use of wearable devices can significantly improve physical activity, which is consistent with previous studies [2,12,26].…”

“…Chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart disease, and mental illness have profound impacts on public health [1]. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) survey shows many Americans die from chronic diseases every year, which causes enormous economic losses [2]. Therefore, managing chronic conditions and reducing the burden of chronic diseases is an essential goal of American society [3].…”

The effect of wearable‐delivered sleep interventions on sleep outcomes among adults: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

“…Characteristics of each trial are shown in Table 1. Twenty trials with 1608 adults were included across the United States (Berry et al, 2019; Berryhill et al, 2020; Garcia et al, 2021; Laudenslager et al, 2015; Martyn‐Nemeth et al, 2020; Melton et al, 2016; Pope et al, 2018; Rastogi et al, 2020), South Korea (Cho et al, 2018; Kang et al, 2017; Kim et al, 2019), Australia (Aji et al, 2021; Duncan et al, 2020), the Netherlands (Baron et al, 2019; Eijsvogel et al, 2015), Canada (Alberts et al, 2020), Amsterdam (Benoist et al, 2017), Denmark (Laub et al, 2017), China (Li et al, 2021), and Taiwan (Yen et al, 2021). Sample sizes ranged from 14 (Martyn‐Nemeth et al, 2020) to 188 (Garcia et al, 2021).…”

“…Details of each intervention in the selected trials are given in Table S5. The interventions were delivered using wearables such as sleep or activity trackers (Aji et al, 2021; Baron et al, 2019; Berryhill et al, 2020; Cho et al, 2018; Duncan et al, 2020; Kang et al, 2017; Kim et al, 2019; Li et al, 2021; Martyn‐Nemeth et al, 2020; Melton et al, 2016; Pope et al, 2018; Rastogi et al, 2020; Yen et al, 2021), sleep position trainers (Benoist et al, 2017; Berry et al, 2019; Eijsvogel et al, 2015; Laub et al, 2017), wearable respiratory monitoring devices (Alberts et al, 2020; Laudenslager et al, 2015), and virtual reality headsets (Garcia et al, 2021). The intervention duration ranged from 1 week (Berryhill et al, 2020) to 12 months (Duncan et al, 2020).…”

“…However, 55% of trials had unclear or high reported bias. Attrition rates ranged from 0.0% (Yen et al, 2021) to 69.0% (Duncan et al, 2020). The ITT (15%) and MDM (20%) principles in data analyses and management were utilized only in a few trials.…”
