For clarification, the March 2025 update changes to the steps algorithm were supposed to increase accuracy for step counting in more challenging situations.

Counting steps is easy using a phone, a wearable or a fitness tracker. And scientists have lots of data to figure out how many daily steps you need to improve your health. Here's what they've found.

We describe a simplification of a recent polynomial-time algorithm of A. I. Barvinok for counting the number of lattice points in a polyhedron in fixed dimension. In particular, we show that only very ...

Ironically, I tested the enhanced step count algorithm on my Pixel Watch 3 last week. I knew Wear OS 5.1 had caused some bugs, but didn't know that people's watches were adding tens of thousands ...

Artificial Intelligence MIT created a new algorithm that’s really, really good at counting Not an April Fool's April 1, 2019 - 3:44 pm Imagine.

The Apple Health algorithm works around the concept of a ‘priority’ device. This priority device’s steps are then used in all instances except where that device is completely unavailable.
