Wearing a research device for long periods can be uncomfortable, but the Fibion G2’s thigh strap is designed to prevent that. Its lightweight, secure fit stays in place no matter the activity, allowing participants to go about their day naturally while ensuring consistent, accurate data for the study.
Key Benefits of the Thigh Strap Option
- Lightweight Design:
- At just 10 grams, the G2 is light enough for extended use, making it well-suited for research that requires continuous data collection, such as studies on sedentary behavior or long-term activity tracking.
- Biocompatible Materials:
- The strap is made from materials designed to minimize skin irritation, ensuring that the device can be worn for long periods without discomfort.
- Adjustable Fit:
- The adjustable thigh strap allows for a custom fit, accommodating a variety of body types and ensuring consistent device placement, which is critical for reliable data collection.
Precision Data Collection
- Sedentary Behavior Studies:
- The thigh-worn G2 is particularly effective at tracking sedentary behavior, posture transitions, and activity shifts. The precise data captured in this position is valuable for understanding patterns of physical activity and postural changes.
- Accurate Activity Monitoring:
- Whether participants are sitting, standing, or engaging in low-intensity physical activity, the device’s positioning allows for accurate monitoring of their movement and energy expenditure.
Improving Participant Compliance
- Comfortable and Discreet:
- The G2’s design minimizes disruption to daily activities, which promotes consistent wear and improves participant engagement and study compliance.
- Enhanced Long-Term Wearability:
- By reducing discomfort and the risk of skin irritation, the G2 supports the continuous data collection needed for long-term research projects.
The Fibion G2 with the thigh strap offers a reliable solution for research that demands both comfort and precision. Its ability to monitor sedentary behavior and postural transitions with high accuracy makes it suitable for studies focused on activity patterns and movement analysis.
