Data collection methods are needed to understand the hazards affecting farmworkers.

The participants were asked to wear the device day and night to collect information on heart rate, blood oxygenation, skin temperature variation, breathing rate, sleep, and stress. Participants were recruited with a community partner across six counties in the region.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Existing community relationships with farmworkers facilitated adoption of new technologies. The participants found the wearables acceptable and easy to use. Wearable feasibility was dependent on consistent broadband internet for data uploads; however, broadband availability was low (35.7%\u201371.1%) across counties. The vendor's infrastructure (i.e., device and app) limited who could be recruited for the study. Climate impacted the expected length of study participation as droughts and floods cut the growing and harvesting season short, which impacted data collection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Testing and consideration of the structural strengths and constraints are needed for selection of data collection instruments.
