Researchers often use wearable devices to measure factors associated with mental health including sleep, physical activity, and exposure to environmental stressors. However, the use of wearables for research purposes in low-resource settings is limited. This pilot study investigated the feasibility and acceptability of wearables and accompanying daily diaries to assess sleep and other health indicators in young women living in Kampala's slums.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Women (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n\u2009<\/jats:italic>\n                      =\u200960 total, two groups) aged 18\u201324 living in three urban slums participated in 5-day pilot protocols comprised of wearing Garmin v\u00edvoactive 3 smartwatches and completing daily diaries concerning sleep and physical activities.

Most devices (87.5%) recorded data for 5 days without running out of battery. Some participants (8.5%) found the wearable uncomfortable during the day, and 25% found it uncomfortable at night. Few participants (6.7%) reported feeling unsafe with the wearable, with most reports occurring prior to the availability of bracelet-like wearable covers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Study protocols implementing wearables and complimentary daily diaries are feasible in this urban population.
