Classifying physical activity levels using Mean Amplitude Deviation in adults using a chest worn accelerometer: validation of the Vivalink ECG Patch.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The development of readily available wearable accelerometers has enabled clinicians to objectively monitor physical activity (PA) remotely in the community, a superior alternative to patient self-reporting measures. Critical to the value of these monitors is the ability to reliably detect when patients are undergoing ambulatory activity. Previous studies have highlighted the strength of using mean amplitude deviation (MAD) as a universal measure for analysing raw accelerometery data and defining cut-points between sedentary and ambulatory activities. Currently however there is little evidence surrounding the use of chest-worn accelerometers which can provide simultaneous monitoring of other physiological parameters such as heart rate (HR), RR intervals, and Respiratory R
