The edaMove is a psycho physiologic ambulatory measurement system that can detect and measure Electro-dermal Activity (also known as Galvanic Skin Response).

The sensor acquires the raw data of the EDA and the 3D acceleration of a subject for up to 2 weeks. From this data secondary parameters like skin conductance level (SCL), skin conductance responses (SCR), and activity intensity can be calculated with the movisens DataAnalyzer software.

Containing the precise 3D acceleration capture technology that comes in all of our sensors, the edaMove is optimized for research applications. The ability to capture motion, barometric pressure and temperature allows a more precise analysis of the data. These parameters allow the clear identification of measurement artefacts that normally hinder the assessment of EDA data in an ambulatory setting.

The sensor is worn with a wristband and comes with multi-use sintered electrodes.
