Actiheart 4

 

INTRODUCING  A NEW  VERSION  OF  ACTIHEART

Heart Rate, Physical Activity & Caloric Expenditure Recording System
Single-piece device that easily measures a subject's energy expenditure by integrating heart rate and activity data.
 

New  features

  • Records Inter beat interval and Activity for up to 4 days (440 000 beats)

  • Records heart rate, activity and IBI Max- Min for up to 21 days

  • Choice of epochs: 15 sec, 30 sec, 1 min

  • Heart rate variabilty analysis: LF, HF, LF/HF, VLF, RMSSD, SDNN, SDANN and triangular index

  • 2 year warranty 

  • Advanced energy expenditure analysis allows branched analysis, group calibration, individual calibration  using integrated step test, basal metabolic rate, VO2 max.

  • Compensation for gaps in data by padding, extrapolation or excluding invalid points.

  • Compensation for heart rate increase due to stress. 

  • 2 year warranty 

Actiheart is the only  heart rate recorder with an integrated accelerometer.  You can accurately and easily measure activity and heart rate as well as calculate energy expenditure for ambulatory activities such as bike riding, skate boarding, weight lifting, etc.   Active energy expenditure is often underestimated in these, and similar types of, activities with the use of an accelerometer alone.

Actiheart data has a variety of applications in the sports medicine, exercise, physical activity and  obesity research fields, for example : 

Weight & nutrition management  -  Behavioral modification -  Exercise intervention compliance

  • Unique, validated algorithm for calculating energy expenditure

  • ECG signal processing for highly accurate and consistent heart rate data

  • Omnidirectional accelerometer sampling at 32 Hz

  • Digital interpretation reports both movement intensity and duration of motion

  • 21 - day recording time at 60-second epochs

  • Reliable estimate of oxygen consumption

  • No chest band; clips onto two ECG electrodes worn on the chest
  • Noninvasive "wear it and forget it" technology
  • Compact and lightweight, weighs only 10g
  • ASCII data format
  • Waterproof design
  • Nonvolatile memory
  • Improved comprehensive software
  • Ideal for use on adults & children
Calculate energy expenditure noninvasively while measuring activity and heart rate.

Actiheart is a compact and rechargeable activity and heart rate recording device.  Activity and heart rate data are logged into nonvolatile memory for later download.  The data are downloaded to a computer, via the Actiheart reader/charger, for assessment of activity, heart rate, and  calculated energy expenditure. Data are edited with full traceability and without compromising the integrity of the original recording.

This innovative, remarkably compact device is designed to be used with ambulatory subjects.  It contains miniaturized accelerometer and ECG  signal processing electronics.  Simply clip on two standard ECG  pads and attach to the subject to record heart rate and physical activity simultaneously for up to  12 days.
