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di󰀨erent
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 light sensor to record luminous intensity (lux) of white light.
