BipoCare – research project

Posted on

Data driven decision-making and support system for the early detection of phase changes in bipolar disorder (BipoCare)

The aim of the project is to close the largest gap in care for bipolar disorders with a data-based decision-making and support system.
As the coordinator of BipoCare and thanks to the specially developed TherapyDesigner platform, movisens is an indispensable partner in this research project. The TherapyDesigner platform is the technological and regulatory basis of BipoCare. It not only enables the creation and evaluation of studies and interventions, but also the necessary documentation for transferring the study into a medical device compliant therapy system i.e. into a digital health application.

Best student project 2024

Posted on

We're so excited to announce that the best student project of 2024 has finally been chosen!

We congratulate Dennis Köstler and Philipp Thull from the Ruhr University of Bochum for winning the student project of the year award 2024 for their Masterthesis: "The Effects of Ashwagandha Supplementation in Combination with Strength Training on StrengthDevelopment and Recovery Capacity in Strength- Trained Women and Men".
Their study investigated the effects of ashwagandha supplementation - the root extract of an Indian plant - in combination with regular strength training. They examined both strength values and values for regeneration (stress/sleep).
The movisens EcgMove 4 recorded the participant's ECG and physical activity, allowing the researchers to assess stress (through heart rate variability) and also assess the quality of sleep.
They win a "Interactive Ambulatory Assessment Starter Set" from movisens! With an activity sensor Move 4 including accessories, the analysis software DataAnalyzer and a movisensXS Basic Bundle, they're now equipped for their next research project.

New - Integrated IR sensor

Add skin temperature readings to the wide range of high quality signals captured by the Move 4 and EcgMove 4.

The IR sensor allows researchers to:

  • analyse individual circadian phases in the daily routine
  • monitor the increase of skin temperature fluctuation in sleep research
  • as a trigger for subjective data acquisition(questionnaires using Interactive Ambulatory Assessment)

    • Recommendations for skin temperatur monitoring

    TV report

    Physical activity behavior in everyday life is a central element of our daily lives and has a significant impact on our health and well-being.
    In a study conducted by the DFG Research Group, physical activity behavior in everyday life was examined in more detail. The activity sensor (Move 4) and app-based experience sampling (movisensXS)were used to gain a comprehensive picture of daily activity and its influence on mood.
    Our sensors and research platform made it possible to provide detailed insights into daily activity. They not only recorded when and for how long the participants moved, but also the type of activity and its intensity. Using the movisensXS mobile research platform, regular queries were made on the smartphone, triggered by the sensors' activity detection, asking participants to rate their current mood and well-being. This subjective data was then analyzed with the objectively measured activity data from the sensors. By combining these two methods - objective measurements with activity sensors and subjective assessments via the Experience Sampling Platform - the study was able to investigate how different movement patterns influence mood and overall well-being.
