Overview
a) About GENEActiv
GENEActiv is a body-worn accelerometer and data logger. It is a wristwatch-like battery-operated activity
recording device. It is a compact and lightweight device which can also be worn at different body locations.
The device is intended to be used for the acquisition of data related to limb or body movements during daily
living and sleep.
The motion sensor (accelerometer) inside GENEActiv records the occurrence and degree of motion. The
device’s relative movement data is stored internally.
The captured data can be further downloaded through the charging cradle and the software.
GENEActiv also incorporates a digital ambient light sensor to record luminous intensity (lux) of white light.
Digital Temperature Sensor measures near-body temperature which is influenced by both the wearer and
environment. The device has a range of 0 – 60 degrees Celsius, taking measurements a minimum of every
30 seconds.
