When Should You Avoid Using Fitbits in Large-Scale Projects? Dr Miriam Cabrita (Pt3) Physical Activity Researcher
-
- Science
What type of projects want to measure PA?
Considerations when choosing an activity tracker grouped in three main topics:
Participant-centric:
Research and innovation driven
Regulatory
Dr Miriam Cabrita has done her Bachelor and Master degrees at NOVA School of Science and Technology in Portugal, and her PhD in biomedical engineering in University of Twente
Then she has worked at Roessingh Research and Development Center in Netherlands for 8 years coordinating and managing EU research projects related to eHealth
Teaching also courses on Physical Activity, Digital Health and Virtual Coaching at the University of Twente.
She has acted as a Board Member for 5 years in International Society for the Measurement of Physical Behaviour (ISMPB)
Currently she is working as a Chief Customer Officer at Fibion Inc.
