Abstract
In this workshop, we’ll look at the data that can be acquired directly and indirectly from wearable devices using state of the art tools. We will consider: – the types of records that can currently be acquired directly and the limitations we currently face; – Apple Health Data – the good, the strange, and the unexpected (including a reference to the 2022 rodeo) – Apple vs Fitbit vs Garmin comparison – A case study showing why we need scientific validation of health logs
