Abstract
Fibion wearables use a small sensor that gives a cloud-based actigraphy monitoring system to ship 24-hour knowledge about sleep/wake conduct, circadian rhythms, and daytime bodily exercise. The core sensor is marketed individually for separate actions and makes use of. Fibion SENS, Fibion Sleep, Fibion Circadian all use the identical sensor (SENS). The gadget sensor placement location (wrist, again, leg) data completely different actions and uncooked knowledge. Fibion Sleep data uncooked tri-axial acceleration for as much as 22 weeks on the preliminary cost, and permits clinicians/researchers to decide on the info analytic algorithm that most closely fits wants and the inhabitants of curiosity. Fibion has been utilized in adults and youngsters. Full entry to uncooked sensor knowledge by way of a portal permits that knowledge may be re-analyzed indefinitely, as newer sleep and different algorithms and analytics evolve. There seems to be quite a lot of AI-supported knowledge analytics and customizable studies for the patron, coach, researcher, or clinician. There’s an possibility so as to add one other gadget (or might be used as a stand-alone) referred to as Fibion Vitals that may be a chest strap wearable with a microphone, nasal canula and pulse ox port, ECG electrode, and movement, sleep, chest motion, and pores and skin temperature sensors. Fibion Vitals claims to offer residence testing for sleep apnea analysis, along with different uncooked physiologic knowledge makes use of.
Claimed Capabilities/Measurements
Fibion offers completely different activity-related studies for people, clinicians, health coaches, and medical and animal researchers. The web site claims that Fibion gives simple knowledge software and assortment, distant knowledge entry, validated algorithms, safe knowledge administration, and computerized personalized studies that concentrate on sleep, exercise, and 24-hour exercise circadian cycles. Fibion claims to offer their assist for analysis tasks. There’s a Fibion web site hyperlink evaluating its product specs to different wearable and nearable actigraphy merchandise. The web site additionally offers descriptions of every Fibion product and different supporting sources equivalent to associated publications. The sensor boasts 22 weeks measurement time with the preliminary cost. The web site states that Fibion data accessible uncooked triaxial acceleration knowledge, which can be utilized with “any open-source algorithms developed by the scientific group to generate significant, dependable measures… For instance, the DORMI algorithm, which makes use of neural networks to present you related sleep metrics, equivalent to whole sleep time (TST), sleep effectivity and wake after sleep onset (WASO).”
Mechanism
Tri-axial acceleration
Sensors
The sensor is an accelerometer that may be worn as a again or leg patch, or positioned right into a “watch” on the wrist.
Technical Concerns
The sensor has an extended battery life (~22 weeks). Information are routinely uploaded by way of a cellphone app or hotspot.

Research Abstract: The research aimed to evaluate validity of the SENS movement® accelerometer system for device-based measurement of bodily exercise and sedentary conduct in wholesome youngsters and adolescents. Thirty-six wholesome youngsters and adolescents (imply ± normal deviation (SD) age, 10.2 ± 2.3 years) have been fitted with three SENS sensors whereas performing standardized actions together with strolling, quick strolling, sitting/mendacity, and arm actions. Information from the sensors have been in contrast with video observations and settlement between SENS movement® and remark was analyzed utilizing Scholar’s t-test and illustrated in Bland–Altman plots. The concurrent validity was additional evaluated utilizing intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and was expressed as normal error of measurement (SEM) and minimal detectable change (MDC). Sturdy settlement was discovered between SENS and remark for strolling time, sedentary time, and mendacity time. In distinction, reasonable settlement was noticed for variety of steps, sitting time, and time with and with out arm motion. ICC values have been total reasonable to glorious (0.5–0.94), with correspondingly low SEM% for strolling time, sedentary time, mendacity time, and time with arm motion (2–9%). An appropriate SEM% degree was reached for each steps and sitting time (11% and 12%). For quick strolling time, the outcomes confirmed a weak settlement between the measurement strategies, and the ICC worth was poor. Conclusion: SENS movement could also be legitimate for detecting bodily exercise and sedentary conduct in wholesome youngsters and adolescents with sturdy settlement and reasonable to glorious ICC values.

Comparability Take a look at(s): ActivPAL4
Research Abstract: The intention of this research was to research the validity of the Fibion accelerometer in comparison with ActivPAL4 accelerometer for estimating sedentary and upright time in wholesome adults. A complete of 29 members (age 18-50 years) wore the Fibion and ActivPAL4 concurrently on the identical thigh for 1 day throughout a typical weekday. Members have been requested to go about their day as they usually would whereas carrying the gadgets. Validity of the Fibion in comparison with ActivPAL4 was decided by evaluating time spent in sitting, strolling and standing utilizing intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman plots. For sitting, ICC=0.87 (95% CI: 0.72, 0.94), for standing, ICC=0.84 (95 % CI: 0.67, 0.93) and for strolling, ICC=0.97 (95% CI: 0.92, 0.99). Bland Altman plots revealed an inexpensive settlement for sitting, standing and strolling time evaluating the Fibion to ActivPAL4. The authors conclude that the Fibion demonstrated good to glorious validity in measuring time spen in sitting, standing, and strolling in comparison with the ActivPAL4 in wholesome people.

Comparability Take a look at(s): ActivPAL3 and direct remark
Research Abstract: This intention of this cross-sectional observational research was to guage the validity and reliability of the ActivPAL3 and the SENS movement exercise screens by inspecting the exercise screens’ capacity to measure variety of steps taken, in addition to strolling and sedentary time compared with direct observations in hospitalized sufferers. Members included older medical sufferers (a minimum of 65 years; n=12), older sufferers with acute hip fractures (a minimum of 65 years; n=12), and grownup sufferers (a minimum of 18 years) who underwent acute high-risk stomach surgical procedure (n= 12) who have been present process physiotherapy whereas hospitalized. Every participant carried out a standardized set of actions with order randomized throughout one remedy session (30-60min) wherein each the ActivPAL3 and SENS have been worn concurrently. The ActivPAL3 and SENS have been positioned on the thigh, with a second SENS positioned on the chest. SENS is primarily used as a single sensor system, however a dual-sensor algorithm might allow distinction between completely different sedentary positions, together with sitting with inclined and upright backrest. Due to this fact, two sensors have been used on this research, and the accuracy of each a single sensor worn on the thigh and a dual-sensor system was evaluated. Measures of settlement included share settlement between the ActivPAL3 and SENS and direct remark for every affected person, and Bland-Altman plots between the 2 screens and between the screens and direct remark for steps taken, strolling time, and sedentary time. The authors discovered that each screens confirmed good (≥60%) share settlement with direct remark for standing and variety of steps and excessive settlement (≥80%) for mendacity down. For strolling, ActivPAL3 confirmed reasonable share settlement (73.1%), and SENS movement had excessive share settlement (88.9%). Intraclass correlations (ICC) for steps evaluating every monitor to noticed was 0.61 for ActivPAL3 and 0.72 for SENS. ICCs for strolling and sedentary time respectively evaluating every monitor to noticed have been 0.06 and 0.74 for ActivPAL3 and 0.66 and 0.72 for SENS. The authors concluded that relative reliability was reasonable for sedentary conduct for each the ActivPAL3 and SENS, and that the ActivPAL3 confirmed poor (strolling) to reasonable (steps) reliability, whereas SENS movement confirmed reasonable reliability for each actions.
