8.1.2 Accelerometer data
The physical activity output is raw data from the Faros device’s in-built accelerometer. The data recorded
by the accelerometer is used to recognize movement (for example sports, walking or other physical
activity) from the measurement.
The accelerometer data itself does not have an effect on the ECG measurement data. The difference
between ECG data during high physical activity period (for example sports) and low physical activity period
(for example lying down) can be seen in figures 15 and 16.
