“…Identifying unique participant issues with sensors is important, as compliance with longitudinal research and sensors can be challenging [28,37], and researchers may ask participants to wear sensors that may be uncomfortable [38]. Monitoring incoming data allows researchers to identify sparse or low-quality sensor data, which may indicate a participant issue with the sensor, and take appropriate action [11,39].…”

Although traditional methods of data collection in naturalistic settings can shed light on constructs of interest to researchers, advances in sensor-based technology allow researchers to capture continuous physiological and behavioral data to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the constructs that are examined in a dynamic health care setting. This study gives examples for implementing technology-facilitated approaches and provides the following recommendations for conducting such longitudinal, sensor-based research, with both environmental and wearable sensors in a health care setting: pilot test sensors and software early and often; build trust with key stakeholders and with potential participants who may be wary of sensor-based data collection and concerned about privacy; generate excitement for novel, new technology during recruitment; monitor incoming sensor data to troubleshoot sensor issues; and consider the logistical constraints of sensor-based research. The study describes how these recommendations were successfully implemented by providing examples from a large-scale, longitudinal, sensor-based study of hospital employees at a large hospital in California. The knowledge gained from this study may be helpful to researchers interested in obtaining dynamic, longitudinal sensor data from both wearable and environmental sensors in a health care setting (eg, a hospital) to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of constructs of interest in an ecologically valid, secure, and efficient way.

People affected by the frozen shoulder syndrome show limited shoulder mobility which is often accompanied by pain. The frozen shoulder syndrome often lasts from months to years, and mostly affects people in the age group of 40 to 70 years. The frozen shoulder syndrome severely reduces the quality of life and the ability to work. A common treatment method is physiotherapy. Patients are referred to a physiotherapist, who selects specific exercises adapted for the specific patient. Physiotherapy requires patient compliance, time, and effort. Correct exercise performance and compliance are the main issues in physiotherapy. A smartphone app could support patients by providing detailed exercise instructions and motivation through exercise logging, as is common for fitness and sport. In this work, such an app for frozen shoulder syndrome, the ShoulderApp, is evaluated in two user studies. The main contribution is that the user studies were conducted in an ambulatory assessment setting, which allows to draw conclusions about real-world usage, usability and user acceptance. The app was regularly used and study participants were satisfied. Additionally, we researched the usability and usage of interactive 3D and multi-modal exercise instructions, motivational aspects, exercise correctness and the interplay of physiotherapy and app usage. Measurements of shoulder mobility are the key assessment tool for the state and progress of the frozen shoulder syndrome. A smartphone sensor-based measurement tool, which only required a simple band in addition to the smartphone, was developed and evaluated. Interventions with the ShoulderApp were evaluated in a three-week short-term intervention and an 18-week midterm evaluation with 5 patients each. For the evaluation of the results, we used standardized questionnaires, SUS, TAM-2, and USE. In addition, semi-structured interviews and automatic logging of user-interactions in the app were included as the outcome measurements. Overall, the results for both the short-term and mid-term user studies showed that the ShoulderApp could support physiotherapy for frozen shoulder patients. The positive results of the studies show the potential of a generalization of the ShoulderApp concept to the large group of musculoskeletal disorders such as lower back pain and knee injuries.

“…On-body and worn mobile technologies for health and wellbeing have seen an exponential growth in the last few years. An increasing number of body-worn devices for selftracking, for example [41,42], collect data on bodily functions, such as heart rate, pulse or calories burned, and HCI research has already explored wearables toward promoting health and wellness, for example [3,4]. At the same time, a wide diversity of 'smart' objects, such as [14,26,43], have been made commercially available.…”

Women's understandings of their own intimate anatomy has been identified as critical to women's reproductive health and sexual wellbeing. However, talking about it, seeking medical help when necessary as well as examining oneself in order to 'know' oneself is complicated by social-cultural constructions of the vagina, i.e. it is something private, shameful and not to be talked about. In response to this, we designed Labella, an augmented system that supports intimate bodily knowledge and pelvic fitness in women. It combines a pair of underwear and a mobile phone as a tool for embodied intimate self-discovery. In this paper, we describe Labella, and its evaluation with fourteen women, aged 25-63. We show how through situated embodied perception Labella empowers 'looking'. We highlight how the simple act of augmented looking enables the construction of knowledge which ranges from establishing the 'very basics' through to a nuanced understanding of pelvic muscle structure. Finally, we highlight the role of awkwardness and humour in the design of interactions to overcome taboo.
