About
GENEActiv – Raw Data Actigraphy for Sleep, Activity, and Lifestyle Monitoring
GENEActiv is a state-of-the-art, medical-grade raw data accelerometer designed to capture high-resolution, unfiltered data on physical activity, sleep, light exposure, and temperature. Trusted by researchers in over 1,500 peer-reviewed publications across 40 countries, GENEActiv enables the development of novel digital measures, machine learning algorithms, and in-depth behavioural analysis across a wide range of therapeutic areas.
Designed for long-term, continuous wear, the GENEActiv is lightweight, 100% waterproof, and built for 24/7 data collection in both clinical and free-living environments. Its unobtrusive form factor allows for comfortable use across multiple body locations, including the wrist, arm, or leg—capturing real-world evidence that reflects the lived experience of participants.
Validated in studies involving sleep, neurology (including Parkinson’s disease), dermatology (scratch research), cardiology, paediatrics, and more, GENEActiv is the digital health technology of choice for researchers aiming to monitor, measure, and understand human behaviour outside of traditional clinical settings.
Key Features:
- Tri-axial raw accelerometry (10–100Hz sampling)
- Continuous wear for up to 2 months with no charging
- 100% waterproof, medical-grade housing
- Ambient light and temperature sensors
- Wearable on wrist, arm, leg, or other locations
- Raw data formats (.bin, .AWD, .CSV) compatible with all major data platforms
- Event marker button for timestamped recording
- Seamlessly integrates with open-source tools (R, Python, Matlab)
- TGA registered.
Device Uses
The GENEActiv device is designed for use across a wide range of clinical and research applications, delivering high-quality, continuous data that supports objective insights into behaviour, physiology, and treatment outcomes. Its open-format raw data and flexible wearing options make it suitable for studies ranging from sleep and activity monitoring to complex machine learning research.
Common Applications Include:
Sleep Research and Clinical Assessment
- Identification of sleep/wake cycles in free-living environments
- Longitudinal monitoring of sleep patterns in clinical trials
- Objective sleep scoring using the GENEActiv Sleep Toolkit or Actiware
- Pre-screening tool before polysomnography (PSG).
Physical Activity Monitoring
- Quantification of movement intensity and sedentary behaviour
- Measurement of energy expenditure and posture changes
- Wearable across body sites for full-body motion analysis.
Circadian Rhythm & Chronobiology
- Analysis of activity and light exposure patterns over time
- Studies in shift work, jet lag, seasonal affective disorder, and more
- Ambient light tracking to assess external zeitgebers.
Neurology and Movement Disorders
- Monitoring of tremor, bradykinesia, and fine motor control
- Commonly used in Parkinson’s disease, stroke, and neurodevelopmental disorder studies.
Dermatology and Behavioural Studies
- Scratch detection in eczema and pruritus research
- Behavioural pattern recognition in paediatric and psychiatric populations.
Public Health and Epidemiology
- Large-scale, free-living population monitoring
- Data capture for machine learning models and predictive algorithms
- Activity and sleep tracking in remote and under-resourced settings.
With its scalable deployment, medical-grade design, and high patient adherence, GENEActiv continues to be a preferred solution for studies that require accurate, real-world behavioural and physiological data.
