N1 - Fitbit devices were the most common consumer physical activity monitors used in published work (89%), clinical trials (83%), and NIH-funded research (95%). Validity studies represented the plurality (19/40) of published studies involving consumer physical activity monitors. The design of the majority of clinical trials (116/127) and unique NIH-funded grants (20/25) involving Fitbit are interventional.
