Background Wearable devices may generate valuable data for global health research low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, wearable studies in LMICs are scarce. This study aims to investigate the use of consumer-grade wearables individual-level vulnerable populations LMICs, focusing on acceptability (quality being accepted or even liked) feasibility (the state workable, realizable, practical, including aspects completeness plausibility). Methods We utilized a mixed-methods approach...

Although climate change is one of the biggest global health threats, individual-level and short-term data on direct exposure impacts are still scarce. Wearable electronic devices (wearables) present a potential solution to this research gap. Wearables have become widely accepted in various areas for ecological momentary assessment, some studies used wearables field health. However, these vary study design, demographics, outcome variables, existing has not been mapped.In review, we aimed map...

Background Climate change increasingly impacts health, particularly of rural populations in sub-Saharan Africa due to their limited resources for adaptation. Understanding these remains a challenge, as continuous monitoring vital signs such is limited. Wearable devices (wearables) present viable approach studying on human health real time. Objective The aim this study was assess the feasibility and effectiveness consumer-grade wearables measuring weather exposure physiological responses...

Background Extreme weather, including heat and extreme rainfall, is projected to increase owing climate change, which can have adverse impacts on human health. In particular, rural populations in sub-Saharan Africa are at risk because of a high burden climate-sensitive diseases low adaptive capacities. However, there lack data the regions that anticipated be most exposed change. Improved public health surveillance essential for better decision-making prioritization identify groups suitable...
