Smartphones are pretty amazing when you think about it. Besides letting you watch Star Wars whenever you want, answer any question instantly, and play Super Mario Run during staff meetings, ...

Researchers evaluated whether accelerometer-derived sleep-wake characteristics can enhance dementia risk prediction models in older adults.

We take it for granted now, but the fact that you can flip your phone from portrait to landscape mode depends on accelerometers. As everyone knows, though, the damn things often get it wrong, leaving ...

Objective Self-reports of physical activity (PA) have been the mainstay of measurement in most non-communicable disease (NCD) surveillance systems. To these, other measures are added to summate to a ...

Focused on the accelerometer-determined physical activity and sedentary time metrics in 9–11-year-old children, we sought to determine the following: (i) number of days that are necessary to achieve ...

The demand for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resilient to harsh environments is growing. Silicon-based MEMS struggle under extreme conditions, limited by their performance at elevated ...

Abstract—(MEMS) Microelectromechanical systemsin consumer electronics are growing faster each year, with increasing demands from the mobile market, which is dominating the growth for this emerging ...

Researchers in Stockholm, Sweden have created the world's smallest accelerometer, which measures the force of acceleration, according to new research published in the scientific journal Nature ...

Objective Data on cardiovascular outcomes according to objectively measured physical activity (PA) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are scarce. This study explored the associations between PA ...
