Persistent Multi-System Impairments Detected by Wearable Monitoring in Long COVID Cases reporting Fatigue up to Three Years Post-Infection Open
Long COVID remains poorly understood and previous studies have mainly focused on describing symptoms or single-system health deficits in severe cases. In the CONVALESCENCE case-control study, 306 community-based participants (aged 57 [IQR …

Performance and limitations of smartwatch estimation of VO2max during free-living activity in non-athletes Open
Background. Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) is the gold standard for assessing cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and it is a strong predictor of clinical outcomes, but it is measured during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (C…

A guide to consumer-grade wearables in cardiovascular clinical care and population health for non-experts Open
Consumer-grade wearables provide an opportunity to understand public health trends, develop risk stratification tools and monitor interventions. This review introduces the most common wearable sensors and describes the health parameters th…

Cohort profile: characterisation, determinants, mechanisms and consequences of the long-term effects of COVID-19 – providing the evidence base for health care services (CONVALESCENCE) in the UK Open
Purpose The pathogenesis of the long-lasting symptoms which can follow an infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus (‘long covid’) is not fully understood. The ‘COroNaVirus post-Acute Long-term EffectS: Constructing an evidENCE base’ (CONVALESCE…

Validation of a popular consumer-grade cuffless blood pressure device for continuous 24 h monitoring Open
Aims Hypertension is a leading cause of death worldwide, yet many hypertensive cases remain undiagnosed. Wearable, cuffless blood pressure (BP) monitors could be deployed at scale, but their accuracy remains undetermined. Methods and resul…

A short review of application of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for the assessment of microvascular post-occlusive reactive hyperaemia (PORH) in skeletal muscle Open
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an optical technique that can be used to non-invasively interrogate haemodynamic changes within skeletal muscle. It can be combined with a short (3–5 min) arterial cuff-occlusion to quantify post-occlus…

Accuracy of smartwatches for the remote assessment of exercise capacity Open
Exercise capacity is a strong independent predictor of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. The utilization of well-established submaximal tests of exercise capacity such as the 6-min walk test (6MWT), 3-min step test (3MST) and 10-chai…

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in vivo assessment of skeletal muscle oxidative capacity: a comparison of results from short versus long exercise protocols and reproducibility in non-athletic adults Open
Background Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) provides a non-invasive, cost-effective method for assessing skeletal muscle oxidative capacity when combined with a short exercise protocol and arterial occlusions. However, the impact of diffe…

Pneumatically Actuated Soft Robotic Hand and Wrist Exoskeleton for Motion Assistance in Rehabilitation Open
Exoskeletons are being explored for assisting motion therapy for neurological impairment-related rehabilitation. Soft robotic exoskeletons are gaining more attention for upper-extremity applications due to their simplistic actuation mechan…
