A paper by McRoberts’ founder and CEO Rob van Lummel on physical function in old age appeared in PLoS ONE this month. This paper demonstrates that, although physical performance (what you can do) and physical activity (what you actually do) are associated domains of physical function, older adults who do very well on physical performance tests are not per se more active.

McRoberts attended an exclusive three day PRO and eCOA Congress, which was held in Portugal. This congress is the industry’s foremost PRO & eCOAs event designed for attendees to gain expertise in the science, technologies, and regulatory requirements of patient reported outcomes (PROs) and electronic clinical outcome assessments (eCOA). The congress was hosted by ERT.

This year's European Respiratory Society Congress will be held in our homeland, The Netherlands. In Amsterdam we will present our new MoveMonitor analysis, that now also comprises a cycling detection and a stair climbing detection, all based on one sensor on the lower back! So, gaining insight in your patient's physical activity will be even more specific.

McRoberts will be present at the 4th International Conference on Ambulatory Monitoring of Physical Activity and Movement (ICAMPAM) in Limerick, Ireland from June 10-12, 2015.

We were selected for the Product of Outstanding Interest Award (POINT award) during the last ERS congress in Munich!
