GENEActiv:
Raw Data Accelerometer

The GENEActiv wearable collects raw, unfiltered data,
providing valuable insights into activity, lifestyle, and
sleep in public health research and clinical trials.

GENEActiv is a comfortable, lightweight and waterproof medical device that delivers continuous recording of high-resolution unfiltered acceleration, environmental light and temperature at any body location.

Its robust, neutral design can objectively monitor activity, sleep, and lifestyle, reliably for up to two months without the need for charging.

The GENEActiv system is a low burden for both patients and sites with proven high adherence in many studies. It produces raw, unfiltered tri-axial acceleration data in SI units in an open data format.

25+ Therapeutic Areas

200+ Clinical Trials

ActivInsights’ GENEActiv device is your key to understanding the intricacies of behaviours, activity, sleep,
and lifestyle in real-world settings. Incorporate the GENEActiv into your study toolkit and discover
a wealth of knowledge waiting to be uncovered.

Clinical Trials

A gold-standard solution for remotely measuring specific behaviours and activities of daily living. Raw data in open format deliver access to a wide range of validated measures.

Public Health Research

Sensor-level data is an essential resource in longitudinal studies, future-proofing output by allowing re-analysis with new algorithms at any stage.

Health Management and Clinical Trials

Data delivered directly to health professionals supports both research and management of chronic conditions (such as obesity and diabetes) and
rehabilitation.

Digital Measures Development

Use data from this verified measurement system to develop algorithms for digital measures that can be validated analytically and clinically against
appropriate criteria.

Behaviour Detection

Precise body movements, postures and micro-movements are reconstructed from the GENEActiv’s unfiltered raw acceleration data. These measures provide the basic for specific behaviour detection and qualification – such as scratching and tremor.

Evaluating Sleep and Circadian Rhythms

The GENEActiv captures unprocessed movement data, temperature, and light exposure, offering a comprehensive overview of sleep quality and duration. Use to assess disorders that impact rest activity rhythms, movement, and sleep – allowing a deeper understanding of these interactions.

FDA Compliant

GENEActiv falls under the classification of Class I Non-Sterile Medical Devices, under the Medical Device Directive
93/42/EEC. The GENEActiv has received FDA 510(k) exemption status.

In accordance with transitional provisions outlined in Regulation 2023/607, amending Regulations (EU) 2017/745
and (EU) 2017/746, we will be transitioning to compliance with the EU Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR).

Our 150+ digital measures include:

• Acceleration
• Physical Activity intensity
• Sedentary vs movement activity
• Posture changes
• Sleep / wake time
• Sleep event characterisation

Supported by Science

The GENEActiv has been proven in
both small-scale studies and large
international cohorts of over 10,000
subjects.

Essential GENEActiv Accessories

When you buy a GENEActiv device, you will need to purchase a USB cradle.

The charging cradle not only powers the devices but also serves as the tool for programming them and downloading your data.

Each charging cradle can hold up to 4 devices. Our team will be able to advise on how many cradles would be recommended for your study.

Your devices will be supplied with black PU resin wrist straps as standard, however, we cater for studies for children, other wear sites and ruggedised applications.
