The Features That Make Fibion Helix a New Innovation in Actigraphy Research

Introduction

Actigraphy research often forces researchers to choose between devices that are simple to use or those that provide research-grade precision. The Fibion Helix redefines this balance by offering both. With cutting-edge technology and practical features, this innovative wristband is transforming how researchers approach actigraphy in large-scale studies.

1. Patented Technology for Enhanced Accuracy

At the core of the Fibion Helix is its patented optical sensor, which integrates several advanced technologies to ensure precise data collection:

• Multi-Wavelength LEDs: Improve accuracy across all skin tones, ensuring inclusivity in diverse populations.
• Multi-Sensor Design: Provides reliable readings during physical activity, cold conditions, and reduced blood flow.
• Integrated 3-Axis Accelerometer: Filters out movement artifacts by combining optical data with acceleration data, ensuring only clean, actionable signals are analyzed.

This advanced combination of features makes the Fibion Helix a trusted device for studies requiring high-quality, reliable data.

2. Research-Grade Outputs in a Simple Package

The Fibion Helix simplifies research workflows while offering the detailed data researchers need:

• Raw 3-Axis Acceleration Data: Enables custom analysis for deeper insights.
• Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Tracks stress, recovery, and overall health with high precision.
• Automatic Outcome Variables: Provides ready-to-use metrics for sleep, physical activity, and recovery, reducing the time researchers spend on post-processing.

By offering all of these outputs in an easy-to-use wristband, the Helix bridges the gap between consumer convenience and research-grade functionality.

3. Built for Large-Scale Research

The Fibion Helix is designed to address the unique challenges of large-scale studies, offering features that make deployment seamless and effective:

• Affordable Unit Pricing: Keeps costs manageable, enabling large-scale deployments without compromising on quality.
• Well-Documented SDK and API: These tools allow researchers to integrate the Helix seamlessly into their workflows. From customizing data collection parameters to automating data transfer and processing, the Helix adapts to the needs of every study.
• Participant-Centric Design: The lightweight, ergonomic wristband is comfortable for extended wear, ensuring compliance in long-term studies. Its simplicity reduces participant training needs, making it ideal for diverse cohorts.
• Comprehensive Participant App: The app enhances engagement by offering clear visuals and insights into metrics like sleep and physical activity. These features encourage adherence and help participants stay motivated throughout the study.

These features ensure that the Helix is both easy to deploy and effective in delivering high-quality data, even in studies with hundreds or thousands of participants.

Conclusion

The Fibion Helix brings innovation to actigraphy research by combining patented technology, research-grade outputs, and practical tools for large-scale studies. From its advanced optical sensor and integrated accelerometer to its SDK, API, and participant app, the Helix addresses the needs of modern researchers while remaining easy to use. Affordable and adaptable, the Fibion Helix is setting a new standard for what researchers can expect from actigraphy devices.
