Activity and sedentary time
Steps, intensity minutes, sedentary bouts and daily activity profiles, with wear-time detection so missing wear is not mistaken for inactivity.
Physical activity and gait, measured with care.
We turn accelerometry and device summaries into activity, sedentary and gait measures, check them against reference devices, and relate them to the outcomes your study cares about.
What we deliver
Physical activity and gait analytics, end to end.
Energy expenditure
Estimates from accelerometry, reported with the uncertainty each device and population allows.
Gait parameters
Cadence, stride time and step length from inertial sensors, with clear reporting of which parameters agree well with reference systems.
Device comparison
Agreement with research-grade accelerometers such as ActiGraph, as in our Oura ring validation study.
Pediatric and clinical cohorts
Device and cut-point choices checked for the population you study, including children.
Activity and health outcomes
Effects of activity on sleep, quality of life or symptoms, including causal machine learning.
How we analyze it
- Accelerometry preprocessing and wear-time detection
- Bout and intensity classification
- Agreement analysis against reference devices
- Mixed-effects and causal models for longitudinal outcomes
What you receive
- Daily and weekly activity summaries per participant
- Figures and tables ready for publication
- A methods section reviewers can follow
- Documented, reproducible code
