    • A novel algorithm to detect non-wear time from raw accelerometer data using deep convolutional neural networks 

      Syed, Shaheen; Morseth, Bente; Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Horsch, Alexander (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-23)
      To date, non-wear detection algorithms commonly employ a 30, 60, or even 90 mins interval or window in which acceleration values need to be below a threshold value. A major drawback of such intervals is that they need to be long enough to prevent false positives (type I errors), while short enough to prevent false negatives (type II errors), which limits detecting both short and longer episodes of ...

      <i>Background</i> - Previous studies show large variations in physical activity (PA) levels among adolescents. However, the number of studies is limited and even fewer studies have assessed PA in adolescents by accelerometer devices. This study aimed to describe accelerometer-measured PA levels in adolescents in a population-based cohort in Northern Norway.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - In 611 students ...

    • Ubiquitous digital health-related data: clarification of concepts 

      Johannessen, Erlend; Henriksen, André; Hartvigsen, Gunnar; Horsch, Alexander; Årsand, Eirik; Johansson, Jonas (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-08-22)
      The increased development and use of ubiquitous digital services reinforce the trend where health-related data is generated everywhere. Data usage in different areas introduces different terms for the same or similar concepts. This adds to the confusion of what these terms represent. We aim to provide an overview of concepts and terms used in connection with digital twins and in a healthcare context.

    • Uni- and triaxial accelerometric signals agree during daily routine, but show differences between sports 

      Smith, Maia P; Horsch, Alexander; Standl, Marie; Heinrich, Joachim; Schulz, Holger (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-10)
      Accelerometers objectively monitor physical activity, and ongoing research suggests they can also detect patterns of body movement. However, different types of signal (uniaxial, captured by older studies, vs. the newer triaxial) and or/device (validated Actigraph used by older studies, vs. others) may lead to incomparability of results from different time periods. Standardization is desirable. We ...

    • Using machine learning to provide automatic image annotation for wildlife camera traps in the Arctic 

      Thom, Håvard; Bjørndalen, John Markus; Kleiven, Eivind Flittie; Soininen, Eeva M; Killengreen, Siw Turid; Ehrich, Dorothee; Ims, Rolf Anker; Anshus, Otto; Horsch, Alexander (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2017)
      The arctic tundra is considered the terrestrial biome expected to be most impacted by climate change, with temperatures projected to increase as much as 10 °C by the turn of the century. The Climate-ecological Observatory for Arctic Tundra (COAT) project monitors the climate and ecosystems using several sensor types. We report on results from projects that automate image annotations from two of the ...
