Abstract
Each the GENEActiv and the Band are accelerometers that present uncooked actigraphy knowledge. The GENEActiv is marketed as a medical gadget with FDA 510(ok) exemption standing and offers knowledge on ambient gentle and temperature publicity and entry to uncooked accelerometer knowledge. The Band offers long-term actigraphy measurement (together with temperature knowledge), and offers computerized, real-time knowledge uploads with offered knowledge evaluation on chosen metrics.
Claimed Capabilities/Measurements
The GENEActiv web site claims it to be a light-weight, waterproof medical gadget (with a 2 month battery life) that “delivers steady recording of high-resolution unfiltered acceleration, environmental gentle and temperature at any physique location.” It collects exercise, way of life, sleep, circadian, and behavioral data (reminiscent of scratching or tremor) and is utilized in public well being analysis and medical trials. Open-source analytics and open SDKs can be found. With a 6-12 month battery, the ActivInsights Band is “designed for long-term interventions, medical care and section 4 medical research.” It makes use of wi-fi communication and “validated algorithms from established analysis to intelligently analyse each day actions.” Knowledge from the Band will be analyzed utilizing ActivInsight algorithms to report on customized metrics.
Mechanism
Movement, gentle publicity (GENEActiv solely), and ambient temperature
Sensors
Tri-axial accelerometry, ambient gentle (GENEActiv solely) and temperature sensors
Technical Concerns
GENEActiv requires buy of a separate USB charging cable (holds 4 units) that powers the units and in addition is used for programming and downloading knowledge. Open-source analytics and open SDKs can be found for GENEActiv. Knowledge will be processed and analyzed utilizing Activinsight software program/apps if wanted over and above gathering uncooked actigraphy knowledge.

Research Abstract: This examine evaluated the adherence to long-term (6-month) put on of the GENEActiv Unique 1.1 throughout the SafeHeart examine. A complete of N=303 members with ICD have been adopted for six months (for this evaluation). Lengthy-term adherence to carrying the wrist-worn actigraph was outlined as the overall variety of legitimate days divided by the overall anticipated days per participant. Day by day adherence was outlined because the variety of hours of wear and tear per 24hrs. A legitimate day was outlined as 22hrs of wear and tear time per 24hrs. A complete of 44,003 days from 296 sufferers have been used for evaluation. The median long-term adherence was 88.2% (IQR 74.6–96.5%), and a complete of 83 (28%), 127 (42.9%), and 86 (29.1%) members had optimum, average, and low long-term adherence, and 163 (55.1%), 87 (29.4%), and 46 (15.5%) had optimum, average, and low each day adherence, respectively. The authors concluded that their discovering of 88% adherence may very well be used as a benchmark for future long-term actigraphy research, and that adherence could rely on sure participant traits.

Research Abstract: The purpose of this examine was to find out the affiliation between the 24-hour exercise composition and dimensions of wholesome sleep in 1,168 kids and 1,360 adults. Exercise composition was divided into sleep length, time spent in sedentary time, and time spent in bodily exercise, measured utilizing GENEActiv wrist-worn for 8 days. Wholesome sleep included components of continuity/effectivity, timing, alertness/sleepiness, satisfaction/high quality, and regularity. The authors discovered that 24-hour exercise composition was considerably related to all objectively measured and self-report dimensions of wholesome sleep in each kids and adults. Allocating extra time to sleep was related to earlier sleep onsets, later sleep offsets, much less environment friendly and extra constant sleep patterns for each kids and adults. The authors conclude that there’s an integral relationship between each day actions and dimensions of sleep which must be thought-about when implementing way of life interventions.

Research Abstract: The purpose of this examine was to guage the affect of exercise monitor placement on the accuracy of detecting sedentary conduct and bodily exercise in N=20 older adults in a laboratory examine. The GENEActiv Unique (worn on wrist and thigh) was in contrast with ActiGraph wGT3X-BT (worn on the hip), ActivPAL3c VT (worn on the thigh), and DynaPort MM+ (worn on the center decrease again). Knowledge have been analyzed utilizing every gadget’s proprietary software program. Thigh-worn units, together with ActivPAL and GENEActiv demonstrated the very best accuracy (>94%) for detecting sedentary conduct. The authors discovered that solely thigh-worn displays (ActivPAL and GENEActiv) achieved acceptable total balanced accuracies (≥80.0%) for sedentary conduct, standing, and medium-to-vigorous bodily exercise classifications.
