LightMove 3 – Light and Activity Sensor
The LightMove 3 sensor can be used to determine the physical activity of a user and also detect the ambient light of their surroundings. The combination of these two parameters allows information to be calculated about the behaviour, activity, and the environment of a subject in just a few small steps. The collected data can be processed on-board the sensor in real time and then transmitted to a mobile phone via a Bluetooth Smart connection.
In addition to the on board processing, the raw data is recorded for a measurement period of up to 2 months. This data, including the 3D acceleration, barometric pressure, temperature, and the parameters of ambient light can then be further processed as required. Wearing the sensor on a wristband offers a high degree of comfort and unrestricted range of motion, so that the subject can pursue their everyday life without hindrance.
Output parameters such as illumination intensity (lux), brightness (from darkness to sunlight), temperature, colour, activity classes, steps, energy expenditure and metabolic equivalents (MET) can be easily calculated by using our DataAnalyzer software. This software allows complex processing of the data and the generation of meaningful reports (PDF) in just a few simple steps. These output parameters can allow a thorough evaluation of the environment of the subject, determining such factors as time indoors vs. outdoors and what level of physical activity the subject has performed.
