Effect of Wearable Technology Combined With a Lifestyle Intervention on Long-term Weight Loss

I use my Apple Watch to track HR as well. Super useful when paired up with my STRAVA account for bikes and runs. I’m not using it in a weight loss sense.

I imagine a likely factor is people seeing their calories burned after exercise and thinking "oh, I earned the right to eat that many more calories today" Yeah, uh....

Study finds those who use fitness trackers to assist with weight loss lose less weight than those who do it “old school” I have an Apple Watch. I like it for tracking heart rate variability, sleep and HR. I don’t find it useful for weight loss https:/

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

Unpopular scientific finding of the day: Among young adults with a BMI between 25 and less than 40, the addition of a wearable technology device to a standard behavioral intervention resulted in less weight loss over 24 months. https://t.co/meBwLUxHtd

Monitoring and Feedback for Long-term Weight Loss https://t.co/2EMZoGiAec

According to the IDEA Randomized Clinical Trial, "Devices that monitor and provide feedback on physical activity may not offer an advantage over standard behavioral weight loss approaches" Learn more about step counters and calorie trackers: https://t.co/7

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

The sole evidence presented for this #slatepitch is this 2016 paper in JAMA. https://t.co/EdrhbCPPdW https://t.co/jq4LemVYUJ

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

@doctoroak @ginakolata They have actually run clinical trials (randomizing participants) with step counters. See https://t.co/z592o64CjU. Also, some evid they reduce motivation by making exercise less enjoyable. (Of course, should exercise because exercise
