Background: There is increasing interest in the role that technology can play in improving the vitality of knowledge workers. A promising and widely adopted strategy to attain this goal is to reduce sedentary behavior (SB) and increase physical activity (PA). In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art SB and PA interventions using technology in the office environment. By scoping the existing landscape, we identified current gaps and underexplored possibilities. We discuss opportunities for future development and research on SB and PA interventions using technology. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in the Association for Computing Machinery digital library, the interdisciplinary library Scopus, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Xplore Digital Library to locate peer-reviewed scientific articles detailing SB and PA technology interventions in office environments between 2009 and 2019. Results: The initial search identified 1130 articles, of which 45 studies were included in the analysis. Our scoping review focused on the technologies supporting the interventions, which were coded using a grounded approach. Conclusion: Our findings showed that current SB and PA interventions using technology provide limited possibilities for physically active ways of working as opposed to the common strategy of prompting breaks. Interventions are also often offered as additional systems or services, rather than integrated into existing office infrastructures. With this work, we have mapped different types of interventions and provide an increased understanding of the opportunities for future multidisciplinary development and research of technologies to address sedentary behavior and physical activity in the office context.

Sufficient physical activity can help promote and maintain health, while its lack can jeopardize it. Since health and physical activity lay their foundation for later life in childhood and adolescence, it is important to examine this relationship from the beginning. Therefore, this scoping review aims to provide an overview of physical health indicators in children and adolescents in research on the effects of physical activity and sedentary behavior. We identified the indicators used to quantify or assess physical health and summarized the methods used to measure these indicators. We systematically searched Scopus, Pubmed, and Web of Science databases for systematic reviews. The search yielded 4595 records from which 32 records were included in the review. The measurements for physical health reported in the reviews contained measures of body composition, cardiometabolic biomarkers, physical fitness, harm/injury, or bone health. Body composition was the most used indicator to assess and evaluate physical health in children, whereas information on harm and injury was barely available. In future research longitudinal studies are mandatory to focus on the prospective relationships between physical activity or sedentary behavior, and physical health.

Digital Biomarkers

BACKGROUND Sensors and digital devices have revolutionized the process of measuring, collecting, and storing health data. Digital biomarkers are defined as objective, quantifiable, physiological, and behavioral measures contained in digital devices that are portable, wearable, implantable, or digestible. The clinical utility of digital biomarkers is being supported by an increasing body of research. OBJECTIVE The present study intends to investigate the scope of digital biomarker-based systematic reviews. METHODS The current scoping review was organized using PRISMA-ScR. Limiting the search to English full-text systematic reviews of digital biomarkers that included at least one randomized controlled trial involving a human population and reporting changes in participants' health status. PubMed and the Cochrane library were searched. Separately, two reviewers screened and selected records. In addition, the qualified papers' reference lists were examined for additional reviews. The World Health Organization's (WHO) classification systems for diseases (ICD-11), health interventions (ICHI), and bodily functions (ICF) were used to classify populations, interventions, and outcomes. RESULTS 66 reviews met the inclusion criteria, mostly were published by authors from the United States of America (18, 27.28%). The most prevalent disease areas were Circulatory System (n=12, 18.18%) and External Causes (n=12, 18.18%). 27 and 23 interventions were connected to health-related behaviors and the circulatory system, respectively. Looking after one's health (physical activity) (n=22) and demographic changes (mortality) (n=19) were the most commonly reported outcomes. A substantial number of digital devices, mostly in the form of wearables (n=39/66, 59.09 %) were employed as interventions (n=43/66, 65.15 %). Position sensors (n=33/66) and heart /pulse rate sensors (n=32/66) were identified as the most prevalent types of sensors utilized to capture digital biomarkers. CONCLUSIONS Digital biomarker clinical research encompasses a wide range of technologies, populations, interventions, and clinical outcomes, with cardiovascular and physical activity sensors being the most explored. This necessitates a more thorough examination of the strength and quality of evidence regarding the health consequences of digital biomarker-based therapy.

Understanding the sedentary patterns can guide the design of strategies to engage older adults in physical activity. This scoping review aimed to synthesize available evidence on sedentary behaviors in care facilities. We searched PubMed/MEDLINE and Web of Science for studies published from inception through October 2020. Eighteen studies were included and reviewed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Data obtained were analyzed based on levels of care provided. Overall, daily sedentary time was higher among residents in high level care facilities (e.g., nursing homes) (11.6 h/day) than intermediate/mixed level care facilities (e.g., assisted living) (9.5 h/day). In intermediate/mixed level care facilities, television (TV) viewing was the most common sedentary activity (2.5–2.9 h/day; 26% of daily sedentary time), while napping was the most favorite sedentary activity (4.7 h/day; 36% of waking hours) in high level care facilities. Sex differences in daily patterns of sedentary behavior (sedentary time, uninterrupted bouts, and bout durations) were commonly observed in intermediate/mixed level care facilities, as exemplified by men being more sedentary by 0.7–1.1 h/day. In summary, this study highlights distinctive sedentary patterns among older adults residing in different levels of care facilities, addressing a pressing need for customized interventions to engage care facility residents in physical activity.

Nutrition And Physical Activity

Abstract Objective: The objective of this scoping review was to examine the research question: In the adults with or without cardiometabolic risk, what is the availability of literature examining interventions to improve or maintain nutrition and physical activity related outcomes? Sub-topics included 1) behavior counseling or coaching from a dietitian/nutritionist or exercise practitioner; 2) mobile applications to improve nutrition and physical activity; and 3) nutritional ergogenic aids. Design: This study is a scoping review. A literature search of the Medline Complete; CINAHL Complete; Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and other databases was conducted to identify articles published in the English language from January 2005 until May 2020. Data was synthesized using bubble charts and heat maps. Setting: Out-patient, community and workplace. Participants: Adults with or without cardiometabolic risk factors living in economically developed countries. Results: Searches resulted in 19,474 unique articles and 170 articles were included in this scoping review, including one guideline, 30 systematic reviews, 134 RCTs and five non-randomized trials. Mobile applications (n=37) as well as ergogenic aids (n=87) have been addressed in several recent studies, including systematic reviews. While primary research has examined the effect of individual-level nutrition and physical activity counseling or coaching from a dietitian/nutritionist and/or exercise practitioner (n=48), interventions provided by these practitioners have not been recently synthesized in systematic reviews. Conclusion: Systematic reviews of behavior counseling or coaching provided by a dietitian/nutritionist and/or exercise practitioner are needed and can inform practice for practitioners working with individuals who are healthy or have cardiometabolic risk.
