Congratulations to Sophia F on her paper acceptance to BHI 2019!

And further great news…

The IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics (BHI) is the flagship conference of IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (IEEE-EMBS) on the topics of informatics and computing in healthcare and life sciences.  It is with great excitement that our paper, titled “Use of the Fitbit for Free-Living Heart Rate Monitoring,” has been accepted for a poster presentation at the IEEE International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics.  More details on where to find us at the conference as soon as they become available…

Congratulations to Tianna J on her paper acceptance to ICAMAP 2019!

ICAMPAM is the premier physical activity and mobility monitoring conference.  It is with great excitement that our paper, titled “Development of a Taxonomic Structure to Support Automatic Recognition of Eating Behaviors,” has been accepted to ICAMPAM 2019 for an oral presentation.  Come see what our lab has been working on Thursday, June 27 from 3:05 – 4:00 pm in the Upper limb monitoring track.

Congratulations to Caitlin Barrett for her accepted paper to BHI2017

Congratulations to Caitlin Barrett on the acceptance of her paper titled “Assessing Bouts of Activity Using Modeled Clinically Validated Physical Activity on Commodity Hardware” to the 2017 International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics (IEEE). More can be found on BHI2017 at the EMBS website http://bhi.embs.org/2017/.

Also accepted for this conference was Dr. Winfree’s paper titled “Modeling Clinically Validated Physical Activity Using Commodity Hardware.” This paper is the precursor to Caitlin’s.

How good is that Fitbit? Oh, good question…

In a recent paper by Drs. Dominick, Winfree, Pohlig, and Papas, we asked the question of “What is the accuracy of that Fitbit in an ecologically valid setting?”

Wearable activity monitors such as Fitbit enable users to track various attributes of their physical activity (PA) over time and have the potential to be used in research to promote and measure PA behavior. However, the measurement accuracy of Fitbit in absolute free-living conditions is largely unknown.
