@threadreaderapp [2/5] Remotely monitoring physical activity from smartphones or wearables is becoming an everyday reality. Which one of these devices has a better durability? A study published in @JAMANetworkOpen compared their durability in 6 months after patients’ hospital discharge.
@threadreaderapp @JAMANetworkOpen [3/5] 500 pts (250 using smartphones, 250 using wearables) with a mean age of 46.6 years. 320 (64%) were women, 219 (44%) white, 231 (46%) black, 141 (28%) enrolled in Medicare, and 128 (26%) enrolled in Medicaid. 50$ or the wearable were promised as a reward to the patients.
@threadreaderapp @JAMANetworkOpen [4/5] The difference in the proportion of patients transmitting data among the smartphone group and the wearable group was significant at 90 days (77.6% vs 67.6%; p = 0.01) and 180 days (61.2% vs 46.5%; p = 0.001). Also the smartphone group had a lower discontinuation.
@threadreaderapp @JAMANetworkOpen [5/5] With regard to smartphones and wearables, @JNJNews and @Apple recently launched a new study designed to explore if the #Heartline Study app on iPhone and heart health features on Apple Watch can help reduce the risk of stroke.
