Testimonials for IDEEA
NIH Comments:
The design and validation of IDEEA® was awarded a
major grant by NIH (The SBIR grant from NIDDK DK62587) with an
outstanding score, as indicated by a reviewer (Critique) from the Center for Scientific
Review Panel: “A tremendous amount of information can be obtained with a
minimally invasive device using extremely sophisticated technology.”

This system is a remarkable new tool for assessment of physical activity. A
demonstration of this system will astound even the most casual observer. Those
in the fields of energy metabolism, sports medicine, rehabilitation,
neurology, and others, will instantly recognize that this system will allow
measurements that simply were not previously possible. I believe that its
availability will have a major impact on my field of obesity research since
there is near universal agreement that physical activity plays a major role in
susceptibility to obesity. The ability to accurately quantify the amount, type
and duration of physical activity in free-living people will revolutionize
research in this area.

"Briefly, IDEEA identifies various physical activities,
a characteristic that no other available scientific testing device is able
to attain. Another unique feature of IDEEA is its ability to provide
information about the duration and frequency of physical activities.
The amount, quality, and accuracy of scientifically useful information
received from IDEEA are astounding. The device computes the amount and
intensity of variety activities with high frequency and precision and allows
reviewing of results almost instantly. These data are the basis for
calculating energy expenditure and its components, which are necessary
elements in asserting short and long-term energy balance in humans.
Having such information will allow scientists and clinicians working in the
area of obesity, to better understand the interrelationship between physical
activity and body weight. This could lead to designing better
weight control programs focusing on physical activity."

IDEEA "combines the most advanced microcomputer
technology, biomedical sensor designs, data compression, and online data
processing and analysis. It will be the first system of its kind to
have such accuracy, flexibility, and portability for the scientific
research community as well as for the general public in the near future."
