Interventions
The Nike Fuel Band (NFB) is a wrist-worn sensor with a built-in accelerometer for motion quantification. It is programmed to estimate the number of steps taken per day, and also predict energy expenditure in units known as Nike Fuel. Accompanying software allows the user to set daily targets and monitor their activity through a graphical user interface.
