Beyond Traditional Actigraphy with the GENEActiv
Given the choice, most patients would choose home monitoring rather than a sleep lab. With the GENEActiv, you can effortlessly identify natural sleep patterns, quality, and environmental factors like light, and temperature, alongside typical sleep routines and behaviours.
Similarly, actigraphy is a cost-effective service, often preceding PSG monitoring enabling the collection of initial objective evidence regarding sleep patterns within the patient’s home environment over two weeks facilitated by the GENEActiv.
Unlike traditional actigraphy, GENEActiv captures unfiltered, high-resolution raw data, enabling novel digital measures that allow for deeper insight. This deeper understanding of participant behaviours and treatment efficacy pushes the boundaries of analysis, offering invaluable insights for comprehensive research and intervention strategies.
Made to rigorous medical-grade standards, the GENEActiv ensures seamless data collection for up to two months continuously, eliminating the need for frequent charging and minimising patient burden.
Its high-resolution tri-axial acceleration data is an open format, effortlessly integrating with any data analysis software (for example, R and Actiware) streamlining the processing of digital measures of interest.
Using the GENEActiv removes subjective bias with high resolution objective raw data and paves the way for ground-breaking discoveries in Public Health research.

Process your Sleep Data
As Philips’ Actiwatch and Actiware phased out of the sleep market since the beginning of 2024, a void is left for sleep researchers and clinicians seeking a reliable sleep monitor which is compatible with Actiware’s data analysis tool.
The GENEActiv with it’s continued validation in sleep actigraphy (validated in over 188 sleep studies) offers researchers and clinicians unfiltered, raw data—an invaluable asset for in-depth analysis and longitudinal insight; an enhanced alternative to Actiwatch.
The GENEActiv has a feature enabling seamless conversion of raw data to AWD format which is compatible with Actiware. This enhancement adeptly addresses the gap left by the discontinued Actiwatch wearable, ensuring continuity and efficiency in data processing.
For processing your sleep data, you have the following options:
ActivInsights Integration
Use the GENEActiv to collect raw data (.bin) and generate AWD or CSV files compatible with your preferred data processing software and algorithms, including Actiware software.
R Markdown
We provide R Markdown tools (and provide training if required) for instant data visualisations to support summary measures for research. Example measures include Sleep Onset Time, Rise Times, Total Sleep Duration, and more.
ActivInsights’ Commitment to Open Algorithm Development
As an integral member of the global academic community, ActivInsights is dedicated to developing and validating open algorithms for assessing sleep, physical behaviour and lifestyle using raw accelerometry data. Our expertise extends to creating algorithms and processing data (R) for our research, client projects, and collaborations within publicly funded studies.
