Ambulatory Fall Event Detection with Integrative Ambulatory Measurement (IAM) Framework
… event detection algorithm and a new integrative ambulatory measurement (IAM) framework which could further improve the fall detection algorithm's performance in detecting slip-induced backward falls. This type of fall was chosen because slipping contributes to a major portion of fall-related …

The relevance of performing 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure And pulse wave analysis in kidney transplant recipients
… recommend out of office blood pressure (BP) measurement especially 24- hour ambulatory measurement (ABPM), to diagnose and manage hypertension but this is not routinely performed in kidney transplant units. This study was to determine if 24-hour ABPM, compared with office BP in kidney …

Ambulatory assessment of physiological arousal, emotion, and alcohol use
… The goals of this study were to 1) validate an ambulatory device for measuring electrodermal activity (EDA) and to 2) examine the relations between emotion, EDA, and alcohol use in real-time. Multiple self-reports of emotion, alcohol use, and behavior were obtained from participants each day …

Development and Evaluation of the iWalker: An Instrumented Rolling Walker to Assess Balance and Mobility in Everyday Activities
… use have employed standard laboratory-based measurement methods that rely on performing specific tasks within a short time period and under controlled conditions, potentially limiting generalization to mobility in the everyday context. An instrumented rolling walker (iWalker) was developed as …

An investigation into morning light therapy, circadian rhythms and sleep-wake cycles in postoperative cardiac patients
… in the patients. First, the validity of the ambulatory measurement of light exposure in hospital using wrist-level light monitoring devices was assessed. Wrist-worn devices were found to estimate eye-level light exposure adequately for the purposes of research, when compared to eye-level …

Another piece for the puzzle: Psychophysiological indicators of the absence of empathic responding in Factor I psychopathy
… the second session (Phase B) included the ambulatory measurement of the children's heart rate and skin conductance, while they were watching several empathy-inducing film segments. The results of Phase A identified the most consistent empathy and psychopathy (Factor I) questionnaire …
