Self-monitoring – usability evaluation of heart rate monitoring using wearable devices in patients with acquired brain injury

Støve, Morten P., Larsen, Birgit T.·2020·European Journal of Physiotherapy

Abstract

Aim It is recommended that patients with acquired brain injury learn to self-monitor their exertion and track physical activity, but current technology may offer limited usability. Wearable devices demonstrate good potential to overcome the limitations of the current technology, however, the usability for patients with acquired brain injuries are currently unknown.Methods In this study, the usability and applicability of a wearable device were analysed based on qualitative subjective participant and therapeutic ratings and a semi-structured focus-group interview. Twenty-five participants with acquired brain injuries from an inpatient rehabilitation clinic were enrolled and participants wore the Garmin Forerunner (GF) 235 during daily therapeutic rehabilitation activities for 3 weeks.Conclusions This study provided unequivocal results indicating limited usability of the GF 235 for patients with severe motor and cognitive impairments following acquired brain injury. Several important factors were identified that limited usability and important key demands and requirements for devices to be used for patients with acquired brain injury were suggested. We conclude that motor and cognitive function partly affects usability and applicability of wearable devices and the study provided imperative insight into the importance of motor and cognitive status when using wearable devices for patients with acquired brain injury.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
