The following articles plus the article by Strangman, Ivkovic, and
Zhang (NASA
section citation #3) are part of a topic series of “Emerging Wearable
Physiological Sensing Technologies and Decision Aids for Health and
Performance” published ahead of print in
Journal of Applied Physiology. The goal, from the introductory
article by Sawka and Friedl, is: “to provide a forward-looking analysis
of recent advancements and possible applications, and the
physiological/biomedical challenges that need to be resolved
to achieve their full potential for a broad range of applied physiology
problems. These mini-reviews and articles represent a range of
applications for wearable physiological monitoring systems to identify
adaptation and maladaptation, acute and chronic health
issues, recovery in rehabilitation medicine, and decision support tools
in performance monitoring.”
