The Actiheart 5 is a wearable, combined single-lead ECG and activity recorder with multiple data endpoints providing a comprehensive personal monitoring device. The latest generation Actiheart benefits from more than 15 years of research, development and customer feedback to provide a class leading, feature-rich and flexible platform for research in multiple application areas.
The Actiheart 5 provides full waveform, raw data recording of ECG at up to 1024Hz and tri-axial accelerometry at up to 100Hz. The powerful battery allows long-term recording for up to 14 days in IBI Mode which includes full-waveform acceleration data. The Actiheart 5 replaces both the previous generation Actiheart 4 and the Actiwave Cardio.
The Actiheart uses unique, validated software algorithms based upon a branched model to accurately determine energy expenditure in free-living. The Actiheart has become a benchmark for behavioural research and has been cited in many hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific publications. Our Research Library provides a comprehensive list publications that may be filtered by area of interest.
