Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hypertension is one of risk factors of cerebrovascular disease and dementia. Blood pressure control is important to prevent the condition of needed for long-term care. Consumer wearable devices are popular and a growing market for monitoring physical activity, sleep, and other behavior. Lifestyle modification such as physical activity and weight control is important for the prevention of hypertension. Therefore, we examined the association of sleep and activity data via a wearable device (Pulsense) and home blood pressure. Moreover, we assessed physical activity of community-dwelling older adults. As a result, blood pressure was related to deep sleep duration in healthy adults, and physical activity increased due to feedback from the results of own physical activity data. In conclusion, wearable devices have the potential to facilitate changes in health behavior.
