Use of smartphone accelerometers and signal energy for estimating energy expenditure in daily-living conditions
Duclos, 2015
Description
Smartphone accelerometers were used to predict total energy expenditure in adults. Percent error was 14.1 (compared to Sensewear) to 15.0% (compared to Actiheart).
Development/Validation
Sample: 42 (21 males) healthy adults, 18-60 years of age
Setting: Free-living, laboratory
Activities: Stairs, stationary, taking public transit, unstructured, walking and running
Criterion: Actiheart, activity type, Sensewear armband
Accelerometer(s): Samsung Galaxy xCover or LG Nexus 4 in left pants pocket
Validation approach: Holdout (24 from free-living portion of study)
Instructions
Acceleration was collected using a smartphone. While a low pass filter to reduce noise was used, more information about this was not reported. Total energy expenditure (TEE) is estimated using the following function.
