Abstract
First paragraph: In this commentary, we apply a children’s rights lens to explore some of the key challenges and opportunities offered by device-based physical activity assessment with children and young people (CYP). We focus specifically on the development of the necessary skills that will enable CYP to benefit from device-based physical activity data. In doing so, we encourage the research community to consider how to utilize their research endeavors to help prepare CYP for a digital health future.
