The objective assessment of physical activity levels through wearable inertial-based motion detectors for an automatic, continuous and long-term monitoring of people in free-living environments is a well-known research area in literature. However, their application to older adults can present particular constraints. This paper reviews the methods of measuring physical activity, adoption of wearable devices in older adults, describes and compares existing commercial products encompassing activity trackers tailored for older participants.
通过基于可穿戴惯性的运动探测器对身体活动水平进行客观评估，以在自由生活环境中对人们进行自动、持续和长期监测，这是文献中一个著名的研究领域。然而，将其应用于老年人可能会有特殊的限制。本文回顾了测量身体活动的方法、可穿戴设备在老年人中的应用，描述并比较了现有的商业产品，包括为老年参与者量身定制的活动追踪器。
