GENEActiv is a reliable body-worn accelerometer that measures and tracks
everyday living in all environments. This leading, technical design offers 0.5Gb
of raw data in an open format and comes as a unique, fully waterproof, value for
money instrument with 1 month of battery life.
Unlike other accelerometers the GENEActiv instruments are waterproof and can be worn 24 hours a day. A
near-body temperature sensor confirms wear time, and an accurate and configurable clock allows data to be
matched to reported activity or other measures. The GENEActiv instruments are charged in a cradle connected to
a USB power source. This cradle also allows them to communicate with the GENEActiv software, which is used to
configure the instruments, and download and manage recorded data.
