In research, versatile wearable configurations are essential for obtaining accurate and relevant data across varied study types. With Fibion Flash, researchers benefit from flexible wear options that allow seamless monitoring in settings from physical activity tracking to biomechanics and environmental studies.

Snap Connector for Effortless Transitions

The snap connector on Fibion Flash enables quick and easy transitions between various wearing positions, allowing researchers to capture different types of data with minimal adjustments.

• Quick Switching Between Positions: With the snap connector, researchers can seamlessly switch between wrist, chest, and textile placements.
• Convenience for Participants: This easy-to-use connector enhances participant compliance, making Fibion Flash ideal for long-term studies and multi-phase research, where switching between positions may be necessary.

Multiple Attachment Options for Diverse Study Needs

Fibion Flash offers an array of attachment choices to meet the diverse needs of research studies:

• Wrist-Worn Actigraphy: Ideal for tracking physical activity, sedentary behavior, and circadian rhythms, wrist-worn actigraphy is comfortable for participants and well-suited to both field and lab studies.
• Chest-Worn HRV and ECG Monitoring: Fibion Flash supports HRV and one-lead ECG monitoring when worn on the chest, either with a chest belt or adhesive electrodes. This setup is especially useful in stress, recovery, and cardiovascular research where continuous HRV or ECG data are essential.
• Body and Clothing Attachments:
  • Fibion Flash can be attached to different body locations, such as the arms, legs, or torso, making it valuable for biomechanical studies and sports research where limb or body segment movement analysis is needed.
  • The device can be seamlessly integrated into textile attachments, providing discreet and comfortable wear options for long-term studies like behavioral monitoring or sleep research.
• Equipment and Environmental Attachment:
  • Fibion Flash can be attached to sports equipment (e.g., golf clubs, tennis rackets) to measure the acceleration and force of specific movements, offering a unique way to analyze high-speed actions in sports science.
  • It can also be placed in external environments such as vehicles, providing opportunities to study the effects of vibrations or environmental changes on participants.

Applications of Versatile Wear Options in Research

Fibion Flash’s flexible configurations support various research applications, offering tailored solutions for both controlled and real-world settings:

1. Heart Rate Variability and ECG Monitoring
   • Using chest belts or electrodes, Fibion Flash provides HRV and ECG measurements that support stress, recovery, and cardiovascular studies. The ability to capture one-lead ECG data offers in-depth cardiac insights for both clinical and wellness research.
2. Physical Activity and Movement Analysis
   • The wrist-worn option enables precise tracking of daily activity and sedentary behavior.
   • For high-intensity movements or sports performance analysis, Fibion Flash can be attached to specific body parts, such as arms or legs, allowing for comprehensive limb and segment tracking in biomechanics studies.
3. Sports Equipment and Body Tracking in Sports
   • Fibion Flash can be attached to sports equipment, such as the end of a tennis racket or golf club, to measure acceleration and velocity at key points.
   • It can also be worn on the body during athletic activities to capture data on biomechanics and physical performance, providing valuable insights for training and research.
4. Sleep Studies and Overnight Monitoring
   • The device’s textile or chest placement options make it ideal for sleep research. Researchers can capture unobtrusive, continuous data on sleep position, HRV, and other physiological changes overnight, supporting both sleep and wellness studies.
5. Vehicle and Environmental Monitoring
   • Fibion Flash can be placed on vehicles or other external environments to monitor how vibrations or environmental factors affect a participant’s physiology, providing insights into the impact of external factors on human comfort and health.

Conclusion

The versatile wear options of Fibion Flash allow researchers to design studies that capture highly relevant and specific data across a range of research fields, from physical activity and sleep studies to biomechanics and environmental monitoring. This adaptability makes Fibion Flash a powerful tool for comprehensive and flexible data collection.
