Fitbits and Apple Watches weren’t designed for people with atypical health conditions. But the tech can be extremely useful—with some creativity.
ObjectiveNeurodegenerative diseases affect millions of families around the world, while various wearable sensors and corresponding data analysis can be of great support for clinical diagnosis an
In The Lancet Digital Health, Zinzuwadia and Singh commented on the bias and inequity
in studies that make use of wearable devices among the general population.1 We appreciate
their efforts to widen the known issue of insufficient representation from racially
minoritised people, to people from low-income or rural communities, and other populations
with poorer access to digital literacy. However, they did not properly address older
populations, especially those who are most likely to benefit from remote monitoring
and wearable device technology—people living with age-related cognitive decline and
dementia.

Thus, an increased PWV reflects 3 potential risk factors: increased systolic pressure, widened pulse pressure, and altered vascular wall properties.
Research Highlights: A study of people ages 70 and older found walking an additional 500 steps per day, or an additional quarter mile of walking, was associated with a 14% lower risk of heart disease, stroke or heart failure. Compared to adults wh

c BP (DBP) compared to conventional ambulatory monitoring (ABPM); and antihypertensive medication-induced BP changes compared to cuff-based home BP monitoring (HBPM).
Methods:
We fitted 41 participants (32% females, 58 ± 14 years, 80% hypertensive) with a wrist-wearable cuffless BP device (Aktiia) continuously for 6–12 days. At the beginning and the end of this period, 24-h ABPM was performed. Three participants with hypertension (one female; 60 ± 8 years) wore the Aktiia device and performed HBPM continuously one week before and 2 weeks after antihypertensive medication uptitration.
Results:
Compared to ABPM, Aktiia reported higher average SBP for 24-h (difference 4.9 mmHg, 95% CI [1.9, 7.9]) and night-time (15.5[11.8, 19.1] mmHg; all P ≤ 0.01), but similar daytime (1.0 [–1.8, 3.8] mmHg; P = 0.48). Similarly, average cuffless DBP was higher for 24-h (4.2 [2.3, 6.0] mmHg) and night-time (11.8 [9.5, 14.1] mmHg; both P < 0.001), but similar during daytime (1.4 [–0.4, 3.23] mmHg; P = 0.13). Aktiia also reported reduced night-time dip for SBP (difference 14.2 [12.1, 16.3] mmHg) and DBP (10.2 [8.5, 11.9] mmHg; both P < 0.001). The average medication-induced SBP/DBP decline after 2 weeks of uptitration was –1.0/–0.8 mmHg with Aktiia vs. –19.7/–11.5 mmHg with HBPM (P = 0.03 for difference).
Conclusion:
This cuffless wearable device did not accurately track night-time BP decline and results suggested it was unable to track medication-induced BP changes.
