Being healthy is hard to quantify in today’s world. With the advent of wearable technology, health data are readily available at low costs in the hands of consumers.
在当今世界,很难量化健康 。 随着可穿戴技术的出现,消费者很容易以低成本获得健康数据。
Have you ever ventured off into your Health app to get a summary of how healthy you are? Being an exercise and technology fanatic, I do this all the time. Is this a bad habit? Am I feeding into all the craze?
您是否曾经尝试过使用“健康”应用程序来总结自己的健康状况? 作为运动和技术狂热者,我一直都这样做。 这是个坏习惯吗? 我是否正在接受所有的热潮?
There’s a ton of data and metrics available here. It makes me wonder, can all of this information get extracted from my wrist? Can I trust all of these data? Maybe I’m not the only one questioning the validity of this device. See this wonderfully written piece by Dr. John Mandrola, MD:
这里有大量数据和指标。 这让我感到奇怪,是否可以从手腕上提取所有这些信息? 我可以信任所有这些数据吗? 也许我不是唯一一个质疑此设备有效性的人。 观看由医学博士John Mandrola撰写的精彩文章:
Today I was browsing through the “Heart” section and stumbled upon my heart rate variability (HRV). Wow, I was shocked. My average HRV was 37 milliseconds. According to normative values (Nunan et al., 2010), I am ranked in the poor category. Woof.
今天,我浏览了“心脏”部分,偶然发现了我的心率变异性(HRV)。 哇,我很震惊 我的平均HRV为37毫秒。 根据规范值( Nunan等,2010 ),我被列为贫困类别。 汪 。
For those who may unaware, HRV is an indicator of how well your autonomic nervous system is functioning (Shaffer and Ginsburg, 2017). Have you ever heard of the “fight or flight” response? This is your autonomic nervous system kicking in.
对于那些可能不知道的人,HRV可以指示您的自主神经系统的运作情况( Shaffer和Ginsburg,2017年 )。 您是否听说过“ 战斗还是逃跑 ”的React? 这是您的自主神经系统 。
It made me wonder, is my autonomic nervous system shot? Am I burnt out? I exercise daily, get 8 hours of sleep, eat well, and manage my stress levels. So what’s the deal?
这让我感到奇怪,我的自主神经系统被击中了吗? 我会筋疲力尽吗? 我每天都要运动,要有8个小时的睡眠,吃得很好,并控制压力水平。 那怎么办?
Let’s do some digging. A quick google search yields dozens of articles about the accuracy of the wearable device. Am I sold yet? Should consumers take everything at face value?
让我们做一些挖掘。 谷歌快速搜索产生了数十篇有关可穿戴设备准确性的文章。 我卖了吗? 消费者是否应该以面值看待一切?
None of the articles have gone in-depth and explored what I am about to discuss with you today.
没有一篇文章深入探讨了我今天要与您讨论的内容。
在进入科学领域之前,让我首先概述一些披露: (Before we get into the science, let me first outline a few disclosures:)
- This article is meant to educate you about potential measurement errors. 本文旨在教育您有关潜在的测量错误。
- No single piece of consumer equipment will ever be 100% accurate. 没有任何一件消费设备会是100%准确的。
- I have vast experience analyzing real 12-lead electrocardiogram data. 我在分析真实的12导联心电图数据方面拥有丰富的经验。
- I love Apple products. I have them all. 我喜欢苹果产品。 我都有
