스트레스 연구에서 피트니스 트래커(fitness tracker)의 활용 가능성 탐색

초록

This study explored the validity and possibility of stress research using personal biometric information such as heart rate variability, number of steps, and sleep that can be measured with fitness trackers as wearable devices. Based on recent research results, it seems that fitness trackers can collect reliable data when compared with measurement results using existing devices. The fitness tracker can be widely used in personal stress management and related research fields in terms of ease of use, collection, storage, and calculation of real-time information, and will be a method to meet the ecological validity. In the context of COVID-19, non-face-to-face data collection possiblility is a useful and powerful aspect. It is expected that convergence research using fitness trackers will become more active in the future, and it is expected to open new horizons for stress research.
