⚡ Researchers compared time in bed (TIB) from two algorithms against PSG lab observations finding:
⏱️TIB start and end times were w/in 10% PSG equivalence zones.
⏰ Total TIB was not in 10% PSG equivalence zone, overestimating by ~40 min.

It's been 1 week since we welcomed 32 researchers from around the world to Oxford to learn about machine learning of wearables data in large scale biomedical studies. We can't wait to see how this knowledge is used in future work! https://t.co/MzIeIG7L26

New paper providing age-referenced centiles enabling interpretation of the volume and intensity of accelerometer-assessed physical activity of UK adults relative to their peers.

💤Don't sleep on this abstract!
🛌A new article by @Tatianaplekhan1 @BenMaylor @C_Edwardson & colleagues comparing #ActivPAL estimated time in bed to #polysomnography shows some interesting results!
📄Check out the abstract here, full article coming soon!

[Dr Ai Lyn Tan @DrAiLynTan]

Higher #physicalactivity volumes linked with longer life expectancy

➡️Higher intensity further adding to longer life
➡️Adding as little as 10-min brisk walk daily may have benefit
➡️Add up to 3.4 (women) & 4.6 (men) additional years

A longer, healthier life could be as little as a ten-minute walk away!

The latest publication from our group adds to the evidence that habitual daily physical activity is a powerful determinant of health and longevity.

📢Just Accepted!
⚖️A new brief report comparing MVPA from commercial and research-grade #wearables shows misalignment between monitors.

[Dr Alex Clarke-Cornwell @dralexcc]

More @SalfordHMR @UoS_HealthSoc work at #ICAMPAM2024 today. Great to see SMART Work & Life work presented @C_Edwardson (sorry I was in a meeting!) and @MattWassall from @CDTPandO @MalcolmGranat @DrStevePreece @richkjones @MargaretRoweUoS

[Dr. Ben Maylor @BenMaylor]

I had a great time presenting and discussing my poster with others at #ICAMPAM2024 yesterday. OxWEARS will produce the largest annotated validation dataset in the world, and will join other datasets made publicly available by the @OxWearables group at @Oxford_NDPH @UniofOxford
