📣 The evolution is here: #ActiGraph is now #Ametris! Reflecting the transformation from our foundation in #actigraphy into a global #digitalhealth solutions provider. Same Team. Same Mission. Greater Impact. Read the announcement: blog.theactigraph.com/news/actigra...

📣 Join us for #DigitalHealthMonthly #webinar where #digitalhealth experts from Pfizer, J&J, and Novartis will discuss the unique challenges of #adherence & nuances of collecting #wearable #DHT-based data in #clinicaltrials🔗 Register here: theactigraph.com/digital-heal...

This new publication provides an objective validation of five generations of #ActiGraph sensors for researchers using these #wearables to measure #physicalactivity #sedentarybehavior & #sleep: All devices largely fell within established limits of agreement -> pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39819800/

This @ebiomedicine.bsky.social paper assesses & validates wrist-worn #accelerometry measures in #ALS. Peak 6-min activity - ✴️ demonstrated functional decline ✴️ captured unique aspects of disease impact ✴️ predicted smaller trial sample sizes for long-term studies www.thelancet.com/journals/ebi...

ActiGraph is excited to be at #ACSM2025 this week! ✳️ If you're attending the #Aging Interest Group meeting, we'll be presenting later today, Wed, 5/28 at 6:00pm in CC-C208 - please stop by the #ActiGraph table to connect about how #wearables can support your #research!

📣 Call for Abstracts! 📣 We invite you to submit your research using #wearable #DHTs to #ADDSBasel2025 #scientificposter session by Jul. 27th! Learn what previous presenters had to say about their experience below! More details & link to submit your #abstract: adds.theactigraph.com/2025/basel/s...

@jenschrack.bsky.social & colleagues recently published findings from the #NHATS study that #dementia was associated with lower volume & intensity of daily #physicalactivity, highlighting the need to consider physical activity accessibility and patterns as we age - journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/ab...

This @uwsom-wwami.bsky.social study explores integrating #wearables into outpatient #rehabilitation, finding 63% of clinicians prefer continuous monitoring, 60% of patients are willing to sync sensor data & clinicians favor #EHR integration for seamless workflow: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Visit our 📚 Patient-Focused #DigitalMeasures Library to learn how #wearable #DHTs can capture data on the functions that patients' report are most impacted by #respiratory disease symptoms, including #physicalactivity, #sleep, #cough & #vitalsigns 🔗 theactigraph.com/patient-focu...

Please join #ActiGraph & @hyfe.com for the upcoming #DigitalHealth Monthly #webinar discussing a new #wearable solution for #cough monitoring in the real world! Don't miss this opportunity to gain insights into cutting-edge #respiratorydisease research. 👉 Register: theactigraph.com/digital-heal...

Researchers report higher #wearable -measured daily step count is associated with better #asthma control independent of sedentary time, suggesting interventions should focus on increasing #physicalactivity in this Journal of Clinical Allergy & Immunology paper - pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38492665/

"From the studies reviewed, a consistent theme emerges: #actigraphy serves as a powerful, minimally invasive tool to capture changes in #sleep architecture among individuals living with #psoriasis." Learn more in this new systematic review: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

#Digitalhealth tech can transform how we measure symptoms to help researchers capture more accurate, comprehensive, & real-world view of health, including a symptom that is often overlooked & under researched – #cough. Read more in this new paper from @hyfe.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#Sleep is a critical aspect of health. #Wearables are effective, non-invasive tools for real-world assessments. This poster from the #ActiGraph science team leverages #NHANES data for an automated approach to detect outlier sleep periods; improving QC & uncovering new sleep insights: bit.ly/3RzyOIw

Our latest paper using @actigraph.bsky.social accelerometers and @staroddi.bsky.social biologgers in Comparative Biochemistry & Physiology Part A

A recent Phase 2 study in #cancer #cachexia reported increased body weight, improved appetite, and increased #digitalmeasures of #physicalactivity. #Wearables captured key evidence to help evaluate the impact of a possible new treatment in this multifaceted condition - www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Despite a robust pipeline in #Parkinsonsdisease and #Alzheimersdisease, many treatments fail to go from Ph 2 to Ph 3 trials – are treatments ineffective, or are current efficacy measures not sensitive enough? Learn how #digitalhealth tech can help address this: theactigraph.com/digital-heal...

This paper in @jmirpub.bsky.social highlights how smartphone-based measures can capture high-quality assessments of cognitive & motor function in #MultipleSclerosis, supporting the usefulness of #digitalhealth tech in neurology #clinicaltrials: formative.jmir.org/2024/1/e60673

Continuous, remote monitoring with #digitalhealth in Ph 1/2 #Parkinsonsdisease trial showed a significant reduction of bradykinesia & dyskinesia after ICV dopamine vs oral treatment alone, supporting further validation of this novel therapy: @natmedicine.bsky.social - www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In a recent #DigitalHealth Monthly webinar, we discussed how researchers can leverage #wearable #physicalactivity data from the #NHANES #populationstudy for advanced data analyses. Thank you Dana Wolff-Hughes and Andy Liu for sharing your work with us! Watch here: theactigraph.com/digital-heal...

A recent paper in BMC Public Health, using #wearable #DHT data from the NHANES study, reports that reallocating even 10 min / day to moderate-to-vigorous #physicalactivity from other movement behaviors improves #cardiovascular health in adults - bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Yurun Cai, @jenschrack.bsky.social & colleagues shed light on how #hearing impairment in older adults is associated with changes in diurnal #accelerometer -based #physicalactivity patterns and balance performance to help develop more effective exercise programs academic.oup.com/biomedgeront...

We're looking forward to #MDA2025! Stop by #ActiGraph posters: 📊 Assessing the accuracy of #DHT -derived gait measures in #ALS: an analytical validation study 📊 Assessing #gait using wearable DHT in #SBMA: an analytical validation study Schedule a meeting: landing.theactigraph.com/schedule-a-m...

📗Read more about recent research developing #DHT -based measures to assess activities meaningful to patients with #ALS, and learn how #digitalmeasures can sensitively capture changes over time in upper limb functioning and walking gait characteristics: blog.theactigraph.com/blog/digital...

@alstdi.bsky.social & colleagues analyzed #accelerometer data from 376 patients with #ALS during their daily routine, and quantified motor function and disease progression scores that progress faster than ALSFRS-R and reduced clinical trial sample size estimates: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

@rpavaneijk.bsky.social & colleagues conducted a multi-year prospective cohort study of 97 patients with #ALS. Their findings: an #accelerometer -based measure is predictive of disease progression and related to patient-reported functioning: www.thelancet.com/journals/ebi...
