The Move 3 is the most precise mobile sensor for the acquisition of physical activity available today. Now equipped with a Bluetooth Smart interface, the sensor can transmit a live analysis of data calculated on board the sensor. It is designed and optimized for research applications and for interactive ambulatory assessment.

The sensor records the raw data of 3D acceleration, barometric air pressure and temperature for up to 2 months.

From this data secondary parameters like activity class, body position, steps, energy expenditure, metabolic equivalents (MET) and additional reports (pdf) can all be easily calculated with the movisens DataAnalyzer software.

The sensor can be fixed with a clip at the hip (Move 3 Clip, Art.Nr. 10111) as well as with a band at the wrist (Move 3 Wrist, Art.Nr. 10112).
