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.
Existing Philips Actiwatch/Actiware users can continue using Actiware software to analyse data from GENEActiv
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.

Digital Measures DevelopmentUse data from this verified measurement system to develop algorithms for digital measures that can be validated analytically and clinically against
|
 |
Behaviour DetectionPrecise 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 RhythmsThe 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.

Medical Device CertifiedIn accordance with transitional provisions outlined in Regulation 2023/607, amending Regulations (EU) 2017/745 |
FDA ComplianceGENEActiv falls under the classification of Class I Non-Sterile Medical Devices, under the Medical Device Directive |
Multiple Body LocationsThe GENEActiv isn’t just for measurement at the wrist and can be fitted to a number of other body locations including waist, arm, hip, ankle, chest, back and thigh. |
Different Straps AvailableEach GENEActiv device comes with a PU resin wrist strap as standard, however we have a variety of other straps available to suit all body shapes and ages from infants to elderly. We also offer straps in different materials to accommodate for allergies and can provide coloured wrist straps for children. |
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.
