Intensive, Real-Time Data Collection of Psychological and Physiological Stress During a 96-Hour Field Training Exercise at a Senior Military College: Feasibility and Acceptability Cohort Study

Intensive, Real-Time Data Collection of Psychological and Physiological Stress During a 96-Hour Field Training Exercise at a Senior Military College: Feasibility and Acceptability Cohort Study

There is a need for clear methodology and evidence to support the feasibility and acceptability of biometric and biomarker collection in the field, which has implications for overall cost and efficacy, as well as war-fighter safety and survival. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of intensive biomarker and biometric field data collection.

Piloting the Inclusion of the Key Populations Unique Identifier Code in the South African Routine Health Information Management System: Protocol for a Multiphased Study

Piloting the Inclusion of the Key Populations Unique Identifier Code in the South African Routine Health Information Management System: Protocol for a Multiphased Study

However, less than one-third of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries, including Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Burundi, Liberia, and Malawi, have adopted those guidelines and started implementing KPs UIC through alphanumeric codes and biometric systems [16-21].

Monitoring Adolescent and Young Adult Patients With Cancer via a Smart T-Shirt: Prospective, Single-Cohort, Mixed Methods Feasibility Study (OncoSmartShirt Study)

Monitoring Adolescent and Young Adult Patients With Cancer via a Smart T-Shirt: Prospective, Single-Cohort, Mixed Methods Feasibility Study (OncoSmartShirt Study)

One type of patient-generated health data is biometric sensor data, which are typically collected by wearables [13-15]. A wearable device is a noninvasive wireless sensor that monitors and collects health parameters [13,16]. A newer type of wearable is a smart T-shirt with biometric sensors embedded in the fabric. Wearables allow health professionals to monitor an increased number of health parameters on various biometric data points.

Compliance Challenges in a Longitudinal COVID-19 Cohort Using Wearables for Continuous Monitoring: Observational Study

Compliance Challenges in a Longitudinal COVID-19 Cohort Using Wearables for Continuous Monitoring: Observational Study

After eligibility screening and the signing of electronic consent forms, all patients were sent a Biostrap device by mail to continuously monitor their biometric data, including heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation. Instructions on how to use the device were provided via phone calls by the study coordinator, along with a recorded video that detailed the steps for activating the device and linking it to the mobile app.

The Reconstruction of Human Fingerprints From High-Resolution Computed Tomography Data: Feasibility Study and Associated Ethical Issues

The Reconstruction of Human Fingerprints From High-Resolution Computed Tomography Data: Feasibility Study and Associated Ethical Issues

However, the head is not the only site from where unique biometric information can be extracted. Perhaps the most widely used biometric information for human individualization is the friction ridge pattern on the fingertips, often referred to as fingerprints [3]. As with the face in head imaging, friction ridges are also recorded as part of the imaging data when a participant’s hand is imaged.

Studying the Effect of Long COVID-19 Infection on Sleep Quality Using Wearable Health Devices: Observational Study

Studying the Effect of Long COVID-19 Infection on Sleep Quality Using Wearable Health Devices: Observational Study

Having said that, wearable technology has been developed in the last decade, which consists of smart devices or gadgets worn close to or in contact with the skin used to capture biometric data [9]. With the recent trend of wearables, we have seen the development of photoplethysmography (PPG) technology to analyze different sleep phases, avoiding challenges that accompany the traditional polysomnography exam.

Advancing Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Diagnosis and the Treatment of Trauma in Humanitarian Emergencies via Mobile Health: Protocol for a Proof-of-Concept Nonrandomized Controlled Trial

Advancing Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Diagnosis and the Treatment of Trauma in Humanitarian Emergencies via Mobile Health: Protocol for a Proof-of-Concept Nonrandomized Controlled Trial

For this clinical trial, the e Resilience research version 1.0 (Multimedia Appendix 1) was created and optimized to include clinical trial safety measures, accommodate individual participant use, and collect biometric and self-report data during the intervention week. The software specifications are detailed in the Methods section.

Development and Application of a Metaverse-Based Social Skills Training Program for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder to Improve Social Interaction: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Development and Application of a Metaverse-Based Social Skills Training Program for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder to Improve Social Interaction: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

To improve the social skills of children with ASD, it is necessary to predict their anxiety early by collecting biometric information using wearable devices. Anxiety is a common problem in children, adolescents, and adults with ASD. Anxiety caused by emotion regulation impairments in children with ASD can lead to many behavioral problems, such as aggression and irritability [25].
