Ein weiterer, großer Vorteil mobiler Gesundheitsapplikationen ist die Tatsache, dass man just-in-time intervenieren kann. Die Menschen müssen nicht in die Sporthalle o.Ä. kommen, um sich zu bewegen – wir können sie jederzeit zur Bewegung animieren.
Zum Beispiel dann, wenn ihr #wearable, ihr Fitnesstracker oder ihr Akzelerometer, oder sogar ihr Smartphone, längere Zeit keine Bewegung detektiert hat, kann mittels Push-Nachricht direkt zur Bewegung animiert werden.
Dieses Prinzip nennt man JITAI – just-in-time adaptive intervention. Und es funktioniert tatsächlich: Wenn Personen die Push-Nachricht sehen und auf sie reagieren, sind sie in der folgenden Stunde aktiver als diejenigen, die sie nicht sehen, bzw. nicht mit ihr interagieren.

Excited to announce a new paper out today in J NeuroEng and Rehab: rdcu.be/cQO3Z.
Myoelectric interface training enables targeted reduction in abnormal muscle co-activation. A collaboration with Jinsook Roh, Gang Seo, with help from Ameen Kishta & @emilymugler. 🧵
Abnormal muscle co-activation is a major cause of arm impairment after stroke. Our prior work (doi.org/10.1177%2F1545…) showed that gamified training with a myoelectric computer interface (MyoCI) could reduce this co-activation and reduce impairment in chronic stroke survivors.
The MyoCI training reduced co-activation between pairs of muscles. Here, we used muscle synergy analysis to assess whether MyoCI training was "breaking up" the abnormal synergies seen after stroke, changing their composition, or just affecting the pair of muscles trained.

We found that resting heart rate increases after vaccination, peaks on day 2, returns to normal by day 6, with a stronger effect for dose 2. (2/5)
In dose 1, a stronger effect is observed for people who previously tested positive to COVID-19 (3/5)

Four years ago @leonscottmd asked if we could use #wearables to monitor & eventually reduce bone stress injury risks in runners. Based on our latest #biomechanics study I'm more & more convinced answer is going to be: Yes!

What we figured out so far:

Here's a few things to discuss...

#1 what causes overuse injuries like stress fractures?

#2 how do current wearables assess injury risk?

#3 benefits of multi-sensor algorithms

#4 epidemiological evidence from occupational health suggests this approach can work

#1 What causes stress fractures (& other overuse injuries)?

Converging, multidisciplinary evidence indicates overuse injuries are consistent with a mechanical fatigue failure process, in which tissues accumulate microdamage due to repetitive loading. (Fig from Edwards 2018)

@nytimes on our Wearable Microphone Jammer (see it in action here: ). it uses ultrasound to disable surrounding microphones from recording you; lead by Heather Zheng & @ravenben with Yuxin Chen, Huiying Li, @tengshanyuan, Steven Nagels and I ->#chi2020 1/N
@nytimes @ravenben @tengshanyuan Here's how it works: sandlab.cs.uchicago.edu/jammer/ The engineering behind it allows us to get an awesome jamming coverage by making it #wearable : (1) any small movement decreases the impact of the typical blind spots that ultrasonic jammers have; and, (2) it jams in many directions!
@nytimes @ravenben @tengshanyuan What happens when you activate the jammer and talk to someone while surrounded by microphones? Those microphones capture noise rather than your voice, but you don't hear any jamming (it's ultrasonic). This means you speak freely but speech recognizers will fail to spy on you.
