Higher cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with lower risk of type 2 diabetes. However,
the causality of this relationship and the biological mechanisms that underlie it are unclear …

Background With the rise of smartphone ownership and increasing evidence to support the
suitability of smartphone usage in healthcare, the light source and smartphone camera …

Introduction The body of evidence linking cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) levels with the risk
of atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke–two interconnected cardiovascular conditions–is not …

Background and Objectives Observational studies have demonstrated an increased
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) risk among professional athletes in various sports. For …

Sedentary behaviour (SB) and physical activity (PA) have been shown to be independent
modulators of healthy ageing. We thus investigated the impact of activity monitor placement …

Background Resting heart rate (HR) and routine physical activity are associated with
cardiorespiratory fitness levels. Commercial smartwatches permit remote HR monitoring and …

Non-contact heart monitoring is crucial in advancing telemedicine, fitness tracking, and
mass screening. Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) is a non-contact technique to obtain …

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) not only reflects an individual's capacity to perform physical
activities but also encapsulates broader effects on the basic biology of aging. This review …

Background Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a global health concern due to its
high rates of morbidity and mortality. Bacterial pathogens are common causes of CAP. It is …

Smart sensory devices, such as smart watches, scales, and blood pressure gauges, are
increasingly adopted by individuals aiming to improve their health and fitness. Those …
