Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of a highly popular
pedometer application (Samsung Health). Sixteen adults (28.8 ± 8.9 years of age)
wore two Samsung smartphone models, Samsung Galaxy Core Prime (SGCP) and
Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGS4), at three body locations (waist, arm, and hand) while
walking and running over a 50-m test. All trials were recorded using a video as a
gold standard measure of step counts. Results indicated that the validity of
Samsung Health varied depending on the smartphone model, its body location,
and the type of gait (walking and running). Samsung Health showed acceptable
validity when the SGCP was located on the hand (Bias = -8.3%; RMSE = 5.6),
and especially on the arm (Bias = -7.2%; RMSE = 4.9) while running, and when
the SGS4 was located on the arm (Bias = -7.5%; RMSE = 5.4), and especially on
the waist (Bias = 5.4%; RMSE = 3.7) while walking. Samsung Health only
showed good validity when the SGS4 was located on the arm (Bias = 2.9%;
RMSE = 3.6), and especially on the hand (Bias = 0.5%; RMSE = 2.5) while
running. This application showed unacceptable validity in the remaining options.
