Our world-leading wearable has been designed to capture movement; the sensors are sensitive and capable of capturing subtle fine motor movements, such as tremors and scratching, environmental light, and temperature from any body location.
The GENEActiv provides unfiltered, high-resolution, tri-axial raw accelerometery data from trusted, proven sensors giving you the flexibility to define algorithms before and after data collection.
Validated in over 1,500 publications across 20 therapeutic areas—including Cardiology, Dermatology (notably scratch research), Neurology (with a focus on Parkinson’s Disease), Paediatrics, and Sleep— GENEActiv delivers real-world evidence to support your research.
Unlock the potential of actigraphy and beyond with high-quality raw data accelerometery.

Long-term, Continuous Monitoring
Our GENEActiv is a ‘fit and forget’ wearable designed for long-term, continuous monitoring and capable of being worn for up to two months without needing to be charged or removed. This ensures consistent, uninterrupted data collection, capturing objective, real-world insights into activity, sleep, and lifestyle patterns outside of clinical settings. Its ease of use has led to industry-leading adherence rates, providing researchers with more data than typically gathered, making it ideal for both participants and research sites.
The GENEActiv has been meticulously designed and validated, manufactured in the UK and holds medical device classification. Validated in over 1,500 peer-reviewed scientific publications, our technology ensures long-term adherence, enabling researchers to capture objective data in the participant’s lived environment that was previously difficult to obtain.
The GENEActiv has been the digital health technology of choice for researchers and clinicians to objectively measure physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep for over 15 years. Having successfully deployed across 40 countries worldwide, our solutions are fully scalable to meet the demands of any study size or complexity.

Real-World Digital Measures
The GENEActiv delivers raw, unfiltered data in open format which can seamlessly integrate with any statistical software, giving your study access to a suite of digital measures.
As active contributors to the global scientific community, our data analytics team are dedicated to developing and validating open algorithms to assess sleep, physical behaviour, and lifestyle, advancing the field of human behaviour measurement.
We are available to assist you in selecting the most appropriate digital measures to ensure effective data collection for your study should you wish for our guidance.
Unlock the full potential of your research data with GENEActiv and gain deeper insights into disease progression, treatment efficacy, and participant lifestyle in real-world settings.
How to Process Your Data
Raw, unfiltered data is an essential resource in longitudinal studies, future-proofing your research by enabling further analysis with emerging techniques and algorithms at any stage, ensuring your data remains relevant and adaptable over time.
With GENEActiv you extract your raw data (.bin) and if required, you can generate an AWD or CSV file via the ActivInsights software.
We are committed to advancing digital measures and firmly believe that open digital measures are the key to driving scientific progress. That’s why we are platform-agnostic, giving you the freedom to use your raw data files with any data processing software of your choice, ensuring maximum flexibility and control in your research.’
‘R’ is our core platform for client data analysis, using open algorithms based on peer-reviewed digital measures to provide instant data visualisations and support summary measures. If you’re new to our R Markdown tool, we offer comprehensive training to help you get started.
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.
