What people are saying
Several comments highlight the study’s findings by stating that commercial devices are unreliable for measuring energy expenditure and VO2max, often emphasizing the flaws in data and algorithms. The tone ranges from cautious skepticism to enthusiastic acknowledgment, using words like 'flawed,' 'errors,' and 'misleading,' which reflect both concern and recognition of the review’s importance in evaluating consumer health technology.
Most discussions acknowledge the review's findings about the limited accuracy of consumer wearables, with some agreeing that they shouldn't be used for precise energy measurements.
Posts express high curiosity, referencing the comprehensive nature of the study and sharing enthusiasm for its implications for fitness and health tracking.
Many discussions delve into specifics, criticizing proprietary algorithms, mentioning device brands like Apple Watch and Fitbit, and debating the reliability issues, indicating deep engagement.
Posts suggest the review could significantly influence perceptions about wearable tech, with some considering it a 'game changer' for health monitoring practices.
Abstract in brief
- This systematic review analyzed the accuracy and consistency of popular wearable devices like Fitbit, Apple Watch, and Samsung in measuring steps, heart rate, and energy expenditure.
- The study found that wearables generally provide accurate step and heart rate data in lab settings, but their reliability varies by brand, with some devices tending to underestimate certain measures.
- No wearable device was found to be reliably accurate for estimating energy expenditure, and ongoing updates to device models highlight the need for continued research to evaluate their performance.]

@medicinexthings https://t.co/fnoD6B6mRX Their algorithms are proprietary but they are based on flawed data to start with. Plus you can’t measure VO2max out of the lab without making some very dodgy approximations even if the basic data is right (it isn’t).
