New algorithm aims to accurately track calories burned in people with movement disorders
NCT ID NCT05736302
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study checks if a new computer algorithm can accurately estimate total daily energy expenditure (calories burned) in adults with movement limitations. Participants wear an accelerometer and drink special water to compare measurements. The goal is to improve how we track energy use in people who move differently.
