Definition[edit | edit source]
Types of device and app[edit | edit source]
Activity trackers - generally record number of steps taken but also can record elevation gained (number of stairs and floors). Often also estimate a measure of calories burned. Examples include the Fitbit, Nike Fuelband, Jawbone Up and Withings Pulse.
Meal logging - use photos, databases of food types and quantities to estimate calories and nutrients and even food scanners to automatically estimate meal make up.
Examples of medical use[edit | edit source]
Implications for physical therapy / physiotherapy management[edit | edit source]
- Setting appropriate goals for patient daily exercise levels (e.g. setting an appropriate daily goal for number of steps taken).
- Patient logging of subjective measures for review during consultations e.g. pain, energy levels, feeling of wellness etc.
- Logging daily prescribed exercise completion.
- Setting goals and warning levels for measures with prompts for patients to seek medical attention or return for a follow-up appointment when these are met.
