    Our Smartwatches are Lying to Us (Accuracy of Step Count, Heart Rate, & Energy Expenditure)

    This video covers the accuracy (validity) and consistency (reliability) of some of the most commonly used smartwatches: Apple Watch, Garmin, and Fitbit. The features covered include regularly monitored fitness data: step count, heart rate, and energy expenditure (calories burned). I discuss not only which smartwatches are the most accurate at estimating each of these features, but also common research techniques used in testing.

    Your BRAIN gave you DIABETES. (MENTAL HEALTH and DIABETES, their relationship and what to do)

    Mental health and diabetes have a bidirectional relationship - they both seem to influence each other. This video covers how mental health conditions can increase the risk of developing diabetes, and how diabetes may contribute to new mental health challenges. Steps that friends, family members, and the people affected by these health conditions can take are also covered.
