    Review 850 Healthcare Applications of Smart Watches A Systematic Review Tsung-Chien Lu1,2; Chia-Ming Fu1; Matthew Huei-Ming Ma1; Cheng-Chung Fang1; Anne M. Turner2,3 1Department of Emergency Medicine, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan; 2Division of Biomedical and Health Informatics, Department of Biomedical Informatics and Medical Education, School of Medi- cine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA; 3Department of Health Services, School of Public Health, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA Keywords Other clinical informatics applications, Interfaces and usability, Healthcare, Wearable device, Smart watch Summary Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to synthesize research studies involving the use of smart watch devices for healthcare. Materials and Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Ana- lyses (PRISMA) was chosen as the systematic review methodology. We searched PubMed, CINAHL Plus, EMBASE, ACM, and IEEE Xplore. In order to include ongoing clinical trials, we also searched ClinicalTrials.gov. Two investigators evaluated the retrieved articles for inclusion. Discrepancies be- tween investigators regarding article inclusion and extracted data were resolved through team dis- cussion. Results: 356 articles were screened and 24 were selected for review. The most common publi- cation venue was in conference proceedings (13, 54%). The majority of studies were published or presented in 2015 (19, 79%). We identified two registered clinical trials underway. A large propor- tion of the identified studies focused on applications involving health monitoring for the elderly (6, 25%). Five studies focused on patients with Parkinson’s disease and one on cardiac arrest. There were no studies which reported use of usability testing before implementation.

  • Quantification of Tremor Using Consumer Product Accelerometry Is Feasible in Patients with Essential Tremor and Parkinson’S Disease: a Comparative Study Emilie M
    Brummelen et al. Journal of Clinical Movement Disorders (2020) 7:4 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40734-020-00086-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Quantification of tremor using consumer product accelerometry is feasible in patients with essential tremor and Parkinson’s disease: a comparative study Emilie M. J. van Brummelen1, Dimitrios Ziagkos1, Wadim M. I. de Boon1, Ellen P. Hart1, Robert J. Doll1, Teppo Huttunen2, Petteri Kolehmainen3 and Geert Jan Groeneveld1,4* Abstract Background: To quantify pharmacological effects on tremor in patients with essential tremor (ET) or Parkinson’s Disease (PD), laboratory-grade accelerometers have previously been used. Over the last years, consumer products such as smartphones and smartwatches have been increasingly applied to measure tremor in an easy way. However, it is unknown how the technical performance of these consumer product accelerometers (CPAs) compares to laboratory-grade accelerometers (LGA). This study was performed to compare the technical performance of CPAs with LGA to measure tremor in patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET). Methods: In ten patients with PD and ten with ET, tremor peak frequency and corresponding amplitude were measured with 7 different CPAs (Apple iPhone 7, Apple iPod Touch 5, Apple watch 2, Huawei Nexus 6P, Huawei watch, mbientlabMetaWear (MW) watch, mbientlab MW clip) and compared to a LGA (Biometrics ACL300) in resting and extended arm position. Results: Both in PD and ET patients, the peak frequency of CPAs did not significantly differ from the LGA in terms of limits of agreement. For the amplitude at peak frequency, only the iPhone and MW watch performed comparable to the LGA in ET patients, while in PD patients all methods performed comparable except for the iPod Touch and Huawei Nexus.

  • Dwatch: a Personal Wrist Watch for Smart Environments
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Procedia Computer Science 10 ( 2012 ) 300 – 307 3rd International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies dWatch: a Personal Wrist Watch for Smart Environments Dario Bonino, Fulvio Corno, Luigi De Russis∗ Politecnico di Torino, Dipartimento di Automatica ed Informatica - Corso Duca degli Abruzzi 24 - 10129 Torino, Italy Abstract Intelligent environments, such as smart homes or domotic systems, have the potential to support people in many of their ordinary activities, by allowing complex control strategies for managing various capabilities of a house or a building: lights, doors, temperature, power and energy, music, etc. Such environments, typically, provide these control strategies by means of computers, touch screen panels, mobile phones, tablets, or In-House Displays. An unobtrusive and typically wearable device, like a bracelet or a wrist watch, that lets users perform various operations in their homes and to receive notifications from the environment, could strengthen the interaction with such systems, in particular for those people not accustomed to computer systems (e.g., elderly) or in contexts where users are not in front of a screen. Moreover, such wearable devices can reduce the technological gap introduced in the environment by home automation systems, thus permitting a higher level of acceptance in the daily activities and improving the interaction between the environment and its inhabitants. In this paper, we introduce the dWatch, a personal wearable notification and control device, integrated in an intelligent platform for domotic systems, designed to optimize the way people use the environment, and built as a wrist watch so that it is easily accessible, worn by people on a regular basis and unobtrusive.
