ACTICAL®    now with step count

Wireless Noninvasive Physical Activity & Energy  Expenditure Monitoring  System

Monitoring Physical Activity and Energy Expenditure with Actical monitors provides accurate Objective Data for your research studies. 

 

Digital Integration signal processing reports both the intensity and the range of motion, resulting in more accurate Activity Count data and Active Energy Expenditure data.  FDA cleared Actiwatch technology assures long-term calibration stability and high device-to device correlation.

 

A titanium backplate and hard plastic case ensure years of reliable service.   Data can be displayed as graphics or statistics and are in ASCII format.

Actical's multidirectional, piezoelectric accelerometer is sensitive to 0.05g.  The degree and intensity of motion acting upon the sensor produces a variable voltage output signal which determines the number of Activity Counts reported.  This "Digital Integration" process is recognized for accurately reporting both intensity and range of motion.  Actical's sensor reports  movement in all planes, rather than just an "up/down" direction as reported by pedometers  and even some other activity monitors that use other types of accelerometers

ACTIVITY SCORING

Collected data can be evaluated minute by minute or per activity bout, day or week, or for the total study period.  Multiday Actograms, Actogram Zoom, and statistical presentation of Activity Count data.  ASCII  format data files can be opened directly in spread-sheet, database, and other analysis programs.

ACTICAL ENERGY EXPENDITURE ANALYSIS

Actical can provide calculated energy expenditure values for Active Energy Expenditure (AEE) in Kilocalories and total energy expenditure in Metabolic Equivalents per Time (METs) in kilocalories/min/kg.

ACTICAL SOFTWARE GIVES YOU 29 WAYS TO LOOK AT YOUR DATA. 

 A FEW OF THOSE ARE LISTED BELOW:

  • Total energy expenditure (kcals)
  • Average energy expenditure (kcals per minute)
  • Total activity (counts)
  • Average activity  (counts per minute)
  • Time interval duration  (minutes)
  • Total energy Expenditure within each activity range (kcals) - sedentary, light, moderate, and vigorous activity ranges
  • Average energy expenditure within each activity range (kcals per minute)
  • Accumulated time within each activity range (minutes)
  • Ratio of accumulated time within each activity range to total time (%)
  • Sum of activity counts within each activity range (counts)
  • Average activity within each activity range (counts per minute)
