Excellent study on seismocardiography to assess cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in the workplace.

- New ways to screen that are inclusive and convenient are needed. Could SCG be it?

Agreed, it's a tricky situation, especially where Meta has encouraged us to put 'all eggs in one basket' re: Instagram, WhatsApp too. It's hard to rebuild on another platform. For now taking small win in leaving in X for good!
