Putting the usability of wearable technology in forensic psychiatry to the test: A randomized crossover trial
None of the devices obtained usability scores that would justify recommendation for future use considering international standards; a finding that raises concerns about the adaptation and uptake of wearable technology in the context of forensic psychiatry. We suggest that improvements in gamification and motivational aspects of wearable technology might be helpful to tackle several challenges related to wearable technology

Binary logistic regression analyses examined which patient variables could differentiate between patients with and with…
