Eek. Unintended consequence or backfire? 2-year randomized clinical trial with 471 overweight people (BMI 24~40) finds participants who were given a fitness tracker lost less weight. https://t.co/0WtVxIwe0c HT @kenthendricks cc @porlando https://t.co/td6q1

Unintended consequences: People who wear a fitness tracker lose less weight than people who don't wear a fitness tracker. "The addition of a wearable technology device to a standard behavioral intervention resulted in less weight loss over 24 months." htt

For somebody who’s into innovation you may wonder why I’m sceptical about wearables for fitness - studies like this RCT is why. If there’s strong new evidence, not paid for by a wearables firm, which counters this then I’m open to changing my mind

It will be interesting to see if the #watchOS7 sleep tracker improves sleep on the whole. @Apple's discussions of productizing this make me think they are acutely aware of studies like https://t.co/0rEfmfeKkj in which wearables made people lose less weigh

@DrMJoyner @EricTopol @trishgreenhalgh @PaulGlasziou Agreed! What you say here reminds me of this paper where hi tech monitoring actually led to LESS weight loss than standard intervention. We primarily need structural interventions. https://t.co/TLN5R5gB

And on the days that they did wear it? They didn’t wear it much! "On days that the device was worn, the median wear time was 241.1 min/d." So on the few days they *did* wear it, they wore it for only about 4 hours, typically. https://t.co/EdrhbCPPdW

לדעתי זה מתחבר ללא מעט מחקרים בפסיכולוגיה שמה שמדיד ונראה אפקטיבי הרבה פעמים פחות פחות אפקטיבי מדיוח סוביקטיבי. (למשל דיוח סוביקטיבי של מצב בריאותי מנבא טוב יותר מדיוח מדדים אוביקטיבים.

הנה מחקר שקצת הפתיע אותי: כשנתנו לאנשים (צעירים, עד 40) טכנולוגיה לבישה לניטור צעדים ופעילות גופנית, הם הורידו *פחות* במשקל מהקבוצה שהייתה צריכה לדווח בעצמה, כחלק מתוכנית דיאטה כוללת. פורסם לפני 3 שנים, ולא יודע כמה משמעותי, אבל מעניין. https://t.co/wNqk5
