USE OF CONSUMER WEARABLE DEVICES TO PROMOTE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: A REVIEW OF HEALTH INTERVENTION STUDIES
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Although many wearable devices for monitoring and tracking physical activity are available to consumers, relatively few research studies have been conducted to determine their efficacy in promoting health. METHODS: In this article, data on the use of consumer wearable devices in promoting healthy behaviors are summarized based upon bibliographic searches in PubMed and Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection with relevant search terms through September 2016. RESULTS: A total of 274 articles were identified in the bibliographic searches. By screening abstracts or full-text articles, six pre/post test trials and seven randomized controlled trials were identified. In initial trials, consumer wearable devices have been shown to increase physical activity and help users lose weight. However, the number of studies completed to date is small and limited by small sample sizes, short study durations, and uncertain generalizability of the findings. CONCLUSIONS: Future studies should utilize randomized controlled trial research designs, larger sample sizes, and longer study periods to better establish the efficacy of wearable devices in promoting physical activity. Additional research is needed to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of wearable devices in promoting physical activity and weight loss in community settings including communities affected by health disparities. Studies focusing on children and adolescents are also needed.

Structured behaviour change strategies are often resource-intensive and time-consuming, factors that limit long-term adherence and are usually not feasible in routine clinical care.
“However, these strategies are often resource-intensive and time-consuming, factors that limit long-term adherence and usually not feasible in routine clinical care [15].”

The Introduction (page unavailable) says established physical-activity and weight-loss interventions are resource-intensive and time-consuming, limiting full participation and widespread dissemination. It does not say these factors limit long-term adherence or make the strategies usually infeasible in routine clinical care. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredMost reviews did not (or partly) report a cardiometabolic risk profile.
“In addition, conclusions are not based on randomised controlled trials [14, 22] and most of reviews did not (or partly) report a cardiometabolic risk profile [15, 19, 20, 23].”
Traditional structured lifestyle interventions are often labor and resource intensive.
“In addition, these types of interventions are often labor and resource intensive [18].”

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.
