• Actigraphy For Pain And Activity

  Pain is a complex medical condition that involves many physiological functions. Assessment of a patient’s sleep and activity can be critically important for understanding the full dimensions of their pain and the effect of therapies.

• Actigraphy For PTSD

  The relationship between PTSD and sleep disruption is complex. Sleep patterns of those with PTSD likely fluctuate over time depending on the chronicity of PTSD, nature of trauma, comorbid conditions, and medication usage. Actigraphy is thus ideally suited to studying these patterns as it is precise, non-invasive, objective, and provides continuous data over periods of weeks or months.

• Actigraphy For Multiple Sclerosis

  Activity patterns of those with multiple sclerosis (MS) fluctuate over time according to exacerbations and remissions, and therefore represent an important marker of disease progression. Read how actigraphy can be used to to measure conventional activity, sleep, and circadian endpoints and more to assist in studies.

• Actigraphy For Fibromyalgia

  Fibromyalgia (FM) is a neuropathic pain that affects millions of people in the United States. It, like most pain conditions, affects daily activity and sleep. The pain sensations are best measured by recording the patient’s own perceptions (patient-reported outcome) but the related effects of pain on activity and sleep can be measured objectively with actigraphy. Read how actigraphy provides useful insights into the activity patterns in patients with fibromyalgia.

• Actigraphy For Breast Cancer

  Actigraphy is the measurement of motion used to monitor 24-hour activity patterns. Read how actigraphy was used in breast cancer studies to track sleep patterns, circadian endpoints as well as using datasets provided to investigate mathematical patterns which may be responsive to pharmacological therapy.

• Actigraphy For Alzheimers

  Alzheimer’s disease is a cognitive impairment, but it can manifest itself in many detrimental ways including alterations in daytime activity levels, sleep quality, and awake/sleep patterns. Read how actigraphy can provide important data when studying patients with Alzheimer's disease.

• Actigraphy Motion Biosensors For Dermatology Poster Presentation

  This poster demonstrates how the combination of high resolution actigraphy and advanced signal processing provides an accurate and non-invasive assessment of nocturnal scratching events.
