Workshop 1

OBJECTIVELY MEASURING ARM ACTIVITY USING WEARBLE SENSORS

Sahel Akbari, Erasmus Medical Centre and Technical University of Delft
Danny Lemmers, Erasmus Medical Centre, Technical University of Delft, and Erasmus University Rotterdam

In this workshop, we will discuss the process of tailored measurement of Upper Extremity (UE) activity monitoring and assessment at home, utilizing wearable sensors. The primary focus will be on movement patterns of stroke patients and how to extract clinically relevant measures from these patterns. By the end of the workshop, participants will:

  • Gain insight into the principles of rehabilitation after a stroke, as well as the clinical requirements and challenges associated with monitoring UE activity in stroke patients at home.
  • Understand the possibilities and challenges involved in utilizing IMU sensor data to assess UE activity.
  • Apply acquired knowledge to process IMU data and extract clinically relevant measures from wearable sensors.

Workshop 2

ACTIMETRIC R PACKAGE: APPLYING ML-BASED ALGORITHMS TO ACCELEROMETER RAW DATA

Jairo H. Migueles, University of Granada
Matthew Ahmadi, University of Sydney

In this workshop, we will discuss the use of ML-based algorithms in accelerometer-based physical activity measurement and how did we get here – the path from some R scripts to a complete R package. By the end of the workshop, participants will:

  • Gain insight into the purpose and functionalities of the package
  • Understand the opportunities and challenges of an R package to share methods and how to contribute to the development of actimetric
  • Apply acquired knowledge: learn basic R skills required; use cases/exercises; and looking at the output via datasets and visualizations

Workshop 3

LEARNINGS FROM THE UK BIOBANK STUDY

Aiden Doherty, University of Oxford
Chuck Matthews, National Cancer Institute/National Institutes of Health

Tuesday, June 18, 2024  11:30am-1:00pm

Workshop 4

DISCUSSION FORUM WITH THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO)

Speakers TBA

Focused discussion on algorithms/devices for population surveillance and prior WHO work

Workshop 5

REPRODUCIBLE DATA ANALYSIS AT SCALE USING CONTAINERS ON CENTREPOINT

Ali Neishabouri, PhD,  Head of Data Science, ActiGraph

This workshop focuses on the importance of creating robust pipelines for reproducible analysis of the large amounts of data collected using wearables. We will discuss primarily use of docker containers to encapsulate algorithms that can run on ActiGraph’s CentrePoint platform.

By the end of this workshop, participants will:

  1.  Understand challenges faced when trying to reproduce analysis with various library/OS versions.
  2.  Gain insight on how ActiGraph’s CentrePoint platform allows to integrate third-party containers.
  3.  Learn how to encapsulate algorithms into containers that can run on any machine, including on CentrePoint.
