Many hepatitis B patients probably wish they could have participated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, I’ll explain how you can find \u003ca href=\"https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/about-studies/learn\" target=\"_blank\">clinical trials\u003c/a> of drugs that could treat your condition – but access isn’t a sure thing. The trial could take a year or more of your time. And more often than not, the experimental drug doesn’t work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://catalyst.phrma.org/5-things-you-didn-t-know-about-researching-and-developing-a-new-medicine\">Less than 12 percent\u003c/a> of the medicines that enter clinical trials are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, according to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, known as \u003ca href=\"http://www.phrma.org/\" target=\"_blank\">PhRMA\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is hope,” says \u003ca href=\"http://www.pacific.edu/Academics/Schools-and-Colleges/Thomas-J-Long-School-of-Pharmacy-and-Health-Sciences/Faculty-and-Departments/Pharmacy-Practice/Sachin-Shah.html\" target=\"_blank\">Sachin Shah\u003c/a>, a pharmacy professor at University of the Pacific who conducts clinical trials himself. “But there is no guarantee.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Q: I have a rare muscle disorder and have been looking for clinical trials for five years, but most of the stuff I find is in St. Louis or Atlanta or elsewhere. Do you have any tips on finding one I can participate in?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: This question comes from Michael Urbach, 59, who has \u003ca href=\"http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/inclusion_body_myositis/inclusion_body_myositis.htm\" target=\"_blank\">inclusion body myositis\u003c/a>, which has progressively weakened muscles in his arms, legs and throat. There is neither a cure nor a standard treatment for the disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Urbach, a resident of Oakley in Contra Costa County, tries to remain positive, but is “anxious to try \u003cem>something,\u003c/em>” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he did what experts suggest you do first: He asked his doctor about clinical trials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He told me, ‘You have to go online and find something’,” Urbach says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Urbach, you’ll probably end up doing a lot of your own research to find a clinical trial if your doctor can’t help. But beware — the volume of information available online can be daunting, and the quality questionable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So rely primarily on sites that end in .org, .edu and .gov, says Danielle Lavieri, a spokeswoman for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ciscrp.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation\u003c/a>(CISCRP). Those domains tend to be less commercial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most comprehensive online compilation of clinical trials is at \u003ca href=\"https://clinicaltrials.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">ClinicalTrials.gov\u003c/a>, a government-run website that allows you to search by disease and location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the language on the site can be technical and the site difficult to navigate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re asking people to search a non-user-friendly site and then to understand what they’re reading,” says Danielle Hicks of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lungcancerfoundation.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation\u003c/a>, based in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hicks suggests contacting a patient advocacy group specific to your disease. Many offer personalized searches for clinical trials, usually for free, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CISCRP, too, performs custom searches and suggests trials that meet your criteria. Visit \u003ca href=\"https://www.ciscrp.org/programs-events/search-clinical-trials/\" target=\"_blank\">CISCRP.org\u003c/a> or call 877-MED-HERO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.researchmatch.org/\" target=\"_blank\">ResearchMatch.org\u003c/a> allows researchers to contact you directly after you’ve registered if they think you’re a good match for their study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can also get in touch with a drug company directly if you know it is developing a medication that may help your condition, Shah says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And don’t discount your own network. \u003ca href=\"http://www.mydetourdeforce.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Julie Soderlund\u003c/a>, who was diagnosed with stage IV melanoma in August, found leads on a Facebook support group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve learned a lot from that group of people,” says the 37-year-old Santa Cruz resident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She participated in one clinical trial and is now searching for another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’ve found a trial that you think is a good fit, reach out to the researchers. The CISCRP website (CISCRP.org) offers a list of important questions to ask in its online “\u003ca href=\"https://www.ciscrp.org/education-center/\" target=\"_blank\">Education Center\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can also find a “\u003ca href=\"https://www.ciscrp.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Participant-Bill-of-Rights.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Participant Bill of Rights\u003c/a>” there. Read it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, did you know that you can leave a trial before it’s over? Let’s say you’re having unpleasant side effects, Lavieri says. “A lot of people may think they’re stuck,” she says. “You have the right to drop out at any time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you find a trial that may work for you, you still may face obstacles:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LOCATION:\u003c/strong> Finding a trial may be especially hard if you live in a rural area, have a rare condition, or both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Of all the clinical trials I have found, none of them are here,” Urbach says. “Everything is out of state or in a different country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you find a trial that requires travel, ask if you will be reimbursed for travel costs, Lavieri suggests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are groups that help cover costs associated with clinical trials, such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.lazarex.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Lazarex Cancer Foundation\u003c/a> (lazarex.org).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond travel costs, consider the support system of family and friends you’ll need nearby, Soderlund advises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to think about, ‘Who do I know in the city where I’m going to get treatment?’” she says. “What kind of support am I going to be able to get if I get sick after treatment?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>PLACEBO\u003c/strong>: In rare cases, all participants in a trial receive the experimental drug, says Jocelyn Ulrich of PhRMA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More commonly, some participants receive the trial drug and others get a placebo – a substance or treatment that looks like the experimental treatment but has no therapeutic effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a disease is life-threatening or dangerous, however, participants will never simply receive a placebo, Shah says. “You cannot \u003cem>not\u003c/em> treat someone,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, all participants will receive at least the “standard of care,” the best treatment for a specific condition that’s already approved and available, Ulrich says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In these trials, you may receive only the standard of care, or you may receive the standard of care plus the investigative drug, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re not guaranteed to be on the study drug,” Hicks says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>PREVIOUS TREATMENT\u003c/strong>: Your previous medical treatments, even routine chemotherapy, may disqualify you from participation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most adults don’t look at clinical trials until they’re in desperate mode,” Hicks says. “By that time, they may have had treatment that will disqualify them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>EFFECTIVENESS\u003c/strong>: Remember, the trial drug might not work, it might not work for you, or it might cause unintended side-effects that require the trial to be shut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It may work. It may not work,” Shah says, “but you have a chance you didn’t have before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem> \u003ca href=\"http://www.khn.org/\">Kaiser Health News \u003c/a>is a national health policy news service that is part of the nonpartisan Henry J.

Do you have any tips on finding one I can participate in?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: This question comes from Michael Urbach, 59, who has \u003ca href=\"http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/inclusion_body_myositis/inclusion_body_myositis.htm\" target=\"_blank\">inclusion body myositis\u003c/a>, which has progressively weakened muscles in his arms, legs and throat. There is neither a cure nor a standard treatment for the disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Urbach, a resident of Oakley in Contra Costa County, tries to remain positive, but is “anxious to try \u003cem>something,\u003c/em>” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he did what experts suggest you do first: He asked his doctor about clinical trials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He told me, ‘You have to go online and find something’,” Urbach says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Urbach, you’ll probably end up doing a lot of your own research to find a clinical trial if your doctor can’t help. But beware — the volume of information available online can be daunting, and the quality questionable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So rely primarily on sites that end in .org, .edu and .gov, says Danielle Lavieri, a spokeswoman for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ciscrp.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation\u003c/a>(CISCRP). Those domains tend to be less commercial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most comprehensive online compilation of clinical trials is at \u003ca href=\"https://clinicaltrials.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">ClinicalTrials.gov\u003c/a>, a government-run website that allows you to search by disease and location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the language on the site can be technical and the site difficult to navigate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re asking people to search a non-user-friendly site and then to understand what they’re reading,” says Danielle Hicks of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lungcancerfoundation.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation\u003c/a>, based in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hicks suggests contacting a patient advocacy group specific to your disease. Many offer personalized searches for clinical trials, usually for free, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CISCRP, too, performs custom searches and suggests trials that meet your criteria. Visit \u003ca href=\"https://www.ciscrp.org/programs-events/search-clinical-trials/\" target=\"_blank\">CISCRP.org\u003c/a> or call 877-MED-HERO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.researchmatch.org/\" target=\"_blank\">ResearchMatch.org\u003c/a> allows researchers to contact you directly after you’ve registered if they think you’re a good match for their study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can also get in touch with a drug company directly if you know it is developing a medication that may help your condition, Shah says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And don’t discount your own network. \u003ca href=\"http://www.mydetourdeforce.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Julie Soderlund\u003c/a>, who was diagnosed with stage IV melanoma in August, found leads on a Facebook support group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve learned a lot from that group of people,” says the 37-year-old Santa Cruz resident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She participated in one clinical trial and is now searching for another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’ve found a trial that you think is a good fit, reach out to the researchers. The CISCRP website (CISCRP.org) offers a list of important questions to ask in its online “\u003ca href=\"https://www.ciscrp.org/education-center/\" target=\"_blank\">Education Center\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can also find a “\u003ca href=\"https://www.ciscrp.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Participant-Bill-of-Rights.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Participant Bill of Rights\u003c/a>” there. Read it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, did you know that you can leave a trial before it’s over? Let’s say you’re having unpleasant side effects, Lavieri says. “A lot of people may think they’re stuck,” she says. “You have the right to drop out at any time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you find a trial that may work for you, you still may face obstacles:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LOCATION:\u003c/strong> Finding a trial may be especially hard if you live in a rural area, have a rare condition, or both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Of all the clinical trials I have found, none of them are here,” Urbach says. “Everything is out of state or in a different country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you find a trial that requires travel, ask if you will be reimbursed for travel costs, Lavieri suggests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are groups that help cover costs associated with clinical trials, such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.lazarex.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Lazarex Cancer Foundation\u003c/a> (lazarex.org).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond travel costs, consider the support system of family and friends you’ll need nearby, Soderlund advises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to think about, ‘Who do I know in the city where I’m going to get treatment?’” she says. “What kind of support am I going to be able to get if I get sick after treatment?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>PLACEBO\u003c/strong>: In rare cases, all participants in a trial receive the experimental drug, says Jocelyn Ulrich of PhRMA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More commonly, some participants receive the trial drug and others get a placebo – a substance or treatment that looks like the experimental treatment but has no therapeutic effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a disease is life-threatening or dangerous, however, participants will never simply receive a placebo, Shah says. “You cannot \u003cem>not\u003c/em> treat someone,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, all participants will receive at least the “standard of care,” the best treatment for a specific condition that’s already approved and available, Ulrich says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In these trials, you may receive only the standard of care, or you may receive the standard of care plus the investigative drug, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re not guaranteed to be on the study drug,” Hicks says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>PREVIOUS TREATMENT\u003c/strong>: Your previous medical treatments, even routine chemotherapy, may disqualify you from participation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most adults don’t look at clinical trials until they’re in desperate mode,” Hicks says. “By that time, they may have had treatment that will disqualify them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>EFFECTIVENESS\u003c/strong>: Remember, the trial drug might not work, it might not work for you, or it might cause unintended side-effects that require the trial to be shut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It may work. It may not work,” Shah says, “but you have a chance you didn’t have before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem> \u003ca href=\"http://www.khn.org/\">Kaiser Health News \u003c/a>is a national health policy news service that is part of the nonpartisan Henry J.

"content": "\u003cp>You may know Under Armour mostly for its heavily marketed line of athletic sportswear. But the company has bigger ambitions: It's jumping into the crowded market for wearable gadgets that aim to help both athletes and couch potatoes track their fitness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Its $400 package, called the UA HealthBox, comes out this Friday. Made in partnership with gadget maker HTC, the HealthBox has a wrist tracker, a heart-rate chest strap and a wireless bathroom scale. Other components — including shoes embedded with tracking sensors — are on the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's a lot of goodies, even for an avid runner like me, who's accustomed to wearing multiple watches to track workouts. But does it make sense to get all these gadgets from one company? Under Armour isn't first with any of these, and rival products do many things as well or better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To find out, I tested Under Armour's products and apps over more than 300 miles of running, including seven races over the past two weeks at Florida's Disney World and California's Disneyland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FOR EXERCISE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On its face, the UA Band is just another wristworn fitness tracker for measuring steps, sleep and heart rate. And there's an asterisk, too: The device disables heart-rate tracking during runs and spin class. Under Armour wants you to use its UA Heart Rate chest strap instead, as wrist sensors aren't as reliable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the chest strap is a pain to wear, there's an advantage to having those devices working together. A small light on the Band changes color as your pulse increases with workout intensity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I aimed for the highest intensity — red — during shorter races, but for full and half marathons, red meant I wasn't conserving enough energy for the final miles. The colored lights help make up for the fact that the Band's display is hard to read during runs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the Band doesn't have GPS, it does an adequate job at measuring distance during workouts. It does borrow your phone's GPS to track route information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FOR SLEEP\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Band's battery lasts a few days under normal use, which is comparable to Fitbits, but longer than smartwatches and Microsoft's Band 2 fitness tracker. You can recharge halfway in just 15 minutes, which is important if you're wearing the gadget all night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As is typical with fitness trackers, the Band automatically detects how long and how well you sleep. It goes further in singling out your last pulse reading before you wake up. That's your resting heart rate; a high rate could suggest overtraining — or simply that you're out of shape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FOR WEIGHT CONTROL\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UA Scale syncs weight and body-fat percentage with the company's UA Record app, so you can track your weight. Because it's a pain to log every single meal, Record lets you simply rate the day's meals as light, medium or heavy — though it doesn't distinguish between calories from vegetables or junk food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though charts help you monitor trends, there's none that clearly connects calorie intake and exercise to weight. Under Armour says it's working on that, but there's no firm date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>THE ADD-ONS\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three HealthBox devices are sold separately, but because they are designed to work together, Under Armour is pushing the $400 package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company has also partnered with audio maker Harman to make $250 wireless earphones with heart-rate tracking through the ear. It's not coming until this spring, and Under Armour is still testing whether measurements are good enough to offer similar color tracking on the Band. I would prefer that over a chest strap. (For now, Under Armour has earphones without the heart rate for $70 less.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also coming down the pike are shoes with built-in sensors for tracking runs. Ideally, these might let you ditch your phone and other GPS devices — at least so long as you hit a pace of 10 minutes per mile or faster. That's a high threshold for many recreational runners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a slowpoke, I got credit for only 14.3 of the 26.2 miles in a marathon. And it broke the marathon into two, possibly because I stopped midway to ride a roller coaster. That's one flaw with automated tracking. Normally, you can just hit pause and resume.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you have the phone with you, the shoes work with the company's MapMyRun app to give steadier pace readings, as those based on GPS can be erratic. Under Armour is still working to get that data displayed on the Band. Again, this feels like a beginning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>THE APPS\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dashboard of the UA Record app is divided into four quadrants for sleep, calories, workouts and daily steps. A circle in the middle is for your weight — normally hidden so you can take screenshots to boast to your friends. While other fitness apps tend to make you fish around for information, the Record's quadrant design gives you a nice summary, and you can tap on any to dig deeper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you don't own any Under Armour gadgets, the free app will pull in data from Fitbit, Garmin, Jawbone and other accounts. You still need your device's app to sync data, though. And this could lead to double and triple counting your exercise totals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The app is also supposed to tap IBM's Watson artificial-intelligence system to analyze your wellness patterns and make recommendations. Here, the \"insights\" I've gotten so far seem more like broad observations applicable to men in my age group than anything personalized. The company says personalization will come later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Under Armour to compete with more established gadget companies, including Fitbit, Garmin and Apple, its devices and apps need to do much more together than products that work individually. In my weeks of testing, I see the beginnings of how all this syncing can help. But it's just that for now — a beginning.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Normally, you can just hit pause and resume.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you have the phone with you, the shoes work with the company's MapMyRun app to give steadier pace readings, as those based on GPS can be erratic. Under Armour is still working to get that data displayed on the Band. Again, this feels like a beginning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>THE APPS\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dashboard of the UA Record app is divided into four quadrants for sleep, calories, workouts and daily steps. A circle in the middle is for your weight — normally hidden so you can take screenshots to boast to your friends. While other fitness apps tend to make you fish around for information, the Record's quadrant design gives you a nice summary, and you can tap on any to dig deeper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you don't own any Under Armour gadgets, the free app will pull in data from Fitbit, Garmin, Jawbone and other accounts. You still need your device's app to sync data, though. And this could lead to double and triple counting your exercise totals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The app is also supposed to tap IBM's Watson artificial-intelligence system to analyze your wellness patterns and make recommendations. Here, the \"insights\" I've gotten so far seem more like broad observations applicable to men in my age group than anything personalized. The company says personalization will come later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Under Armour to compete with more established gadget companies, including Fitbit, Garmin and Apple, its devices and apps need to do much more together than products that work individually. In my weeks of testing, I see the beginnings of how all this syncing can help. But it's just that for now — a beginning.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It includes the scale, a chest strap to monitor heart rate and a fitness band to track steps and sleep. Each item is also sold separately. Beyond that, Under Armour is offering a shoe embedded with a chip to track exercise — even without a smartphone or any other GPS-enabled device for recording distance. The company is also making two headphones, including one that can measure heart rate at the ear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Armour partnered with smartphone maker HTC for the HealthBox items and with Harman's JBL business for the headphones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the items will ship Jan. 22; the shoes and heart-rate headphones will come later.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It's Called a \"Welt\"\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n(\u003ca href=\"http://www.cnet.com/news/the-coolest-wearables-at-ces-2016-are-hidden-in-samsungs-booth/\" target=\"_blank\">c/net\u003c/a>) The new creations shown at CES included the Samsung WELT, or Wellness Belt. The WELT communicates with your phone to tell you how many steps you've taken, how long you've been sitting, eating habits and your waistline size. It then sends the data to a specially-designed app for analysis, to tell you things like -- if you keep eating like you did today, you're going to gain 2 pounds this month. Samsung expects the WELT to go on sale this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And when parents participate, too, it tends to help kids have more active, healthy lifestyles, doctors say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If kids are using these devices with their families, they are a great tool,” says Dr. Zoey Goore, president of the Northern California chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and a pediatrician in Roseville. “Even if the children are not competitive about fitness, it just encourages them to be more engaged in activities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Boosting Activity, Protecting Privacy\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/childhood.html\" target=\"_blank\">17 percent of American children from age 2 to 19 are obese\u003c/a>, a rate that has remained fairly steady over the last decade.

As an added bonus, she says, these devices often get the whole family to exercise more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It points out to parents and children how sedentary they are,” Goore says. “It brings awareness and helps create family fitness goals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some fitness trackers sync up with programs online that help kids track their steps, exercise, miles—even hours of sleep. Some allow kids to create a social network of friends to encourage or “taunt” them about their progress. Taunting may inspire some kids, while others may be hurt by that kind of interaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goore cautioned parents to be aware of the online element of some wearable fitness trackers to make sure the children’s needs are respected and privacy is protected. Fitbit, for example, doesn’t allow kids under 13 to create online accounts. But older kids can register and link up to friends who also have accounts that display their number of steps, and allow them to compete in challenges with each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kids Helping Kids\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The global children’s aid group \u003ca href=\"http://www.unicefusa.org\" target=\"_blank\">UNICEF\u003c/a> launched a new product last month in time for the holidays.

And when parents participate, too, it tends to help kids have more active, healthy lifestyles, doctors say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If kids are using these devices with their families, they are a great tool,” says Dr. Zoey Goore, president of the Northern California chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and a pediatrician in Roseville. “Even if the children are not competitive about fitness, it just encourages them to be more engaged in activities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Boosting Activity, Protecting Privacy\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/childhood.html\" target=\"_blank\">17 percent of American children from age 2 to 19 are obese\u003c/a>, a rate that has remained fairly steady over the last decade.

As an added bonus, she says, these devices often get the whole family to exercise more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It points out to parents and children how sedentary they are,” Goore says. “It brings awareness and helps create family fitness goals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some fitness trackers sync up with programs online that help kids track their steps, exercise, miles—even hours of sleep. Some allow kids to create a social network of friends to encourage or “taunt” them about their progress. Taunting may inspire some kids, while others may be hurt by that kind of interaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goore cautioned parents to be aware of the online element of some wearable fitness trackers to make sure the children’s needs are respected and privacy is protected. Fitbit, for example, doesn’t allow kids under 13 to create online accounts. But older kids can register and link up to friends who also have accounts that display their number of steps, and allow them to compete in challenges with each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kids Helping Kids\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The global children’s aid group \u003ca href=\"http://www.unicefusa.org\" target=\"_blank\">UNICEF\u003c/a> launched a new product last month in time for the holidays.

This year you can get tech savvy, with a plethora of new wearables. While new connected devices abound, we offer our guide to holiday wearables with a nod to realism: one must question whether wearables will end up like parachute pants—an odd relic from yesteryear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2014 report from Endeavor Partners found half of the U.S. consumers who bought a wearable in 2013 no longer use it and 33 percent stopped using it within six months. The key to creating a successful wearable, the reoprt says, is meaningful impact. Products that just track behaviors will ultimately fail; those most likely to succeed will be devices that inspire action and help users make positive change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With that in mind, here’s our list of inspiring and lesser-known devices for a wide range of people on your gift list.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>The Dash: Smart Headphones\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who wants them:\u003c/strong> Your favorite runner and/or fist bumper\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_77135\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2015/12/Bragi.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-77135\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2015/12/Bragi-800x470.jpg\" alt=\"The Dash aren’t headphones, they’re “hearables.”\" width=\"800\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2015/12/Bragi-800x470.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2015/12/Bragi-400x235.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2015/12/Bragi-1180x693.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2015/12/Bragi-960x564.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2015/12/Bragi.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Dash aren’t headphones, they’re “hearables.” \u003ccite>(Bragi)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why they’re cool:\u003c/strong> These wireless headphones from Bragi are still under pre-order, but athletes and music lovers will be running for this three-in-one “hearable:” a music player, a fitness tracker and a touchpad on the earpiece that allows you to control the audio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
