Abstract：
The use of wearable sensors to track activity is increasing. Therefore, a survey among AO Trauma members was conducted to provide an overview of their current utilization and determine future needs and directions. A cross sectional expert opinion survey was administered to members of AO Trauma. Respondents were surveyed concerning their experience, subspeciality, current use characteristics, as well as future needs concerning wearable technology. Three hundred and thirty-three survey sets were available for analysis (Response Rate 16.2%). 20.7% of respondents already use wearable technology as part of their clinical treatment. The most prevalent technology was accelerometry combined with smartphones (75.4%) to measure general patient activity. To facilitate the use of wearable technology in the future, the most pressing issues were cost, patient compliance and validity of results. Wearable activity monitors are currently being used in trauma surgery. Surgeons employing these technologies mostly measure simple activity or activity associated parameters. Cost was the greatest perceived barrier to implementation. Further research, especially concerning the interpretation of the outcome values obtained, is required to facilitate wearable activity monitoring as an objective patient outcome measurement tool.
摘要：
可穿戴传感器跟踪活动的使用正在增加。因此,在AO创伤成员中进行了一项调查，以概述他们目前的利用情况，并确定未来的需求和方向。对AO创伤的成员进行了横断面专家意见调查。受访者接受了关于他们的经历的调查，亚专业，当前使用特性，以及可穿戴技术的未来需求。有33个调查集可用于分析（响应率16.2％）。20.7%的受访者已经使用可穿戴技术作为其临床治疗的一部分。最流行的技术是加速度测量法与智能手机（75.4％）相结合，以测量患者的一般活动。为了便于未来可穿戴技术的使用，最紧迫的问题是成本，患者依从性和结果的有效性。可穿戴活动监测器目前正在用于创伤手术。采用这些技术的外科医生主要测量简单的活动或活动相关参数。成本是执行的最大障碍。进一步研究,特别是关于获得的结果值的解释，需要促进可穿戴活动监测作为客观的患者结果测量工具。
