On a mission to the ISS in early 2024 the Swedish ESA astronaut Marcus Wandt was equipped with a wearable called "actibelt".

esa.int/Newsroom/Press_Releases/ESA_astronaut_Marc...

It is a multisensor device with accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers and pressure sensors, embedded in a flexible belt buckle, to capture and analyze the astronaut's movements and exercises. This is a follow-up of a series of feasibility studies starting in 2007, with the goal determine if the actibelt can be used to quantify the activity profile and energy consumption of human participants while in a micro- or partial-gravity environment.

The 5th edition of SPaM will be held from July 1 to 3 in the astonishing frame of Sardinia, Italy, and precisely in its capital, Cagliari, a thousand-year city built on seven hills (yes, like Rome) and in front of a 12 km sandy beach in the warm Mediterranean sea.

The SPaM workshops provide a friendly forum for people with expertise across different fields, who are learning to speak the same multidisciplinary language and keep pushing forward the research in intrapartum monitoring. Anyone interested in intrapartum fetal monitoring and/or passion for healthy labour outcomes is welcome, including medical doctors, midwives or other health care professionals, mathematicians, engineers, PhD Students, members of the public or industry representatives.
