ABSTRACT
Wearable technology has been quickly adopted among researchers and practitioners to capture movement in the real-world conditions to improve clinical practice and advance research. However, several methodological considerations are important to understand considering the large amounts of data produced by wearable devices could easily change from an opportunity to liability. This talk will focus on some unexpected challenges and new opportunities for recording wearable data in real-world settings and our approach for developing a set of best practices for analyzing movement outside of the lab.
