Summary

This study tested whether wireless, wearable sensors can measure social interaction in healthy adults. 120 participants wore the sensors during daily activities to track how much they talked. The goal was to see if the sensors could provide a reliable measure of social interaction, which was also checked against a standard loneliness questionnaire.
