A new study published in npj Digital Medicine suggests that walking data collected from hip-worn accelerometers is viable for assessing the risk of falls in older women. While this specific ...

This sport accelerometer uses a transmitter with accelerometer that reads data and transmits to a computer with DSP while being used in athletics to determine the wrong foot steps as the athletes run.

Daily physical activity measured by accelerometer may show PAH severity and is linked with bone mineral density, clinical worsening, and HRQoL.

Objective Although 30 min/day of moderate-intensity physical activity is suggested for preventing type 2 diabetes (T2D), the current recommendations exclusively rely on self-reports and rarely ...

BOULDER, Colo. — You've likely heard of Fitbits. You might even wear one to track your own movement and health. Researchers are now using the same technology to track the health of trees to better ...

The team from the Sensing, Interaction & Perception Lab at ETH Zürich, Switzerland have come up with TapType, an interesting text input method that relies purely on a pair of wrist-worn devices, that ...

For proper operation, drones usually use accelerometers to determine the direction of gravity. Scientists have now shown that drones can estimate the direction of gravity by combining visual detection ...

I designed an accelerometer-based inclinometer for a piece of medical diagnostic equipment (non-portable) a couple of jobs ago. The output of the accelerometer was an analog signal that was passed to ...
