There are a plethora of devices to track physical activity, but they're not yet useful for changing behavior, according to a group of researchers. However, they say that the rising wave of mHealth wearables could help solve that problem.
A research team, representing universities in the United Kingdom and Australia, assessed characteristics and measurement properties of 82 self-monitoring activity devices. While a good majority track motion, very few were found to measure sedentary behavior, according to a study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.
