Abstract Background Although digital mobility outcomes (DMOs) can be readily calculated from real-world data collected with wearable devices and ad-hoc algorithms, technical validation is still required. The aim of this paper to comparatively assess validate DMOs estimated using gait six different cohorts, focusing on sequence detection, foot initial contact detection (ICD), cadence (CAD) stride length (SL) estimates. Methods Twenty healthy older adults, 20 people Parkinson’s disease,...
Abstract This study aimed to validate a wearable device’s walking speed estimation pipeline, considering complexity, speed, and bout duration. The goal was provide recommendations on the use of devices for real-world mobility analysis. Participants with Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Proximal Femoral Fracture, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Congestive Heart Failure, healthy older adults (n = 97) were monitored in laboratory (2.5 h), using lower back device. Two pipelines validated...
Introduction The clinical assessment of mobility, and walking specifically, is still mainly based on functional tests that lack ecological validity. Thanks to inertial measurement units (IMUs), gait analysis shifting unsupervised monitoring in naturalistic unconstrained settings. However, the extraction clinically relevant parameters from IMU data often depends heuristics-based algorithms rely empirically determined thresholds. These were validated small cohorts supervised Methods Here, a...
Abstract Background: Although digital mobility outcomes (DMOs) can be readily calculated from real-world data collected with wearable devices (WD) and ad-hoc algorithms, technical validation is still required. The aim of this paper to comparatively assess validate DMOs estimated using gait six different cohorts, focusing on sequence detection (GSD), foot initial contact (ICD), cadence (CAD) stride length (SL) estimates. Methods: Twenty healthy older adults, 20 people Parkinson’s disease,...
Although the value of patient and public involvement engagement (PPIE) activities in development new interventions tools is well known, little guidance exists on how to perform these a meaningful way. This particularly true within large research consortia that target multiple objectives, include groups, work across many countries. Without clear guidance, there risk PPIE may not capture opinions needs correctly, thereby reducing usefulness effectiveness tools. Mobilise-D an example consortium...
Abstract Background: Estimation of walking speed from wearable devices requires combining a set algorithms in single analytical pipeline. The aim this study was to validate pipeline for estimation and assess its performance across different factors (complexity, speed, bout duration) make recommendations on the use validity real-world mobility analysis. Methods: Participants with Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Proximal Femoral Fracture, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Congestive Heart...
In recent years, many aircraft manufacturers have proposed innovative cockpit concepts based on touchscreens. Although having a large number of advantages, this type solution suffers from severe limitations in operational use, particular, eyes-free interaction is nearly impossible and touchscreens are extremely complex to use during turbulent conditions. We examined the contribution physicality overcome these weaknesses by introducing shape-changing touchscreen that offers folds which user...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Recent technological advances in wearable devices offer new potential for measuring mobility real-world contexts. Mobilise-D has validated digital outcomes to provide novel and endpoints clinical research of four different long-term health conditions (Parkinson’s disease (PD), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Proximal Femoral Fracture (PFF)). These also unique information that is important patients, however there limited...
The goal of this research was to examine the possible benefits adapting Multi-Attribute Task Battery (MATB-II) in a virtual reality (VR) environment provide an immersive and ecological platform for studies on mental workload aerospace domain.The original desktop MATB-II has many advantages, but level immersion remains moderate, computer screen greatly reduces spatial dimension existing real environments such as cockpit.Thirty-one participants performed experiment during which we compared...
This paper presents a tool enabling the visual analysis of multivariate heterogeneous data. Large amounts measured and contextual data are being gathered for large number applications, increasing connectivity across different types. While often quantitative, tend to be categorical. results in datasets containing with properties. Difference natures these properties raises challenges when combining them analysis. design that enables exploration by strengths Parallel Coordinates Sets. The...
