Conducting large-scale research requires a delicate balance between data quality, affordability, and scalability. Fibion Helix is designed to meet these needs, providing research-grade accuracy at an accessible price point, making it suitable for studies of all sizes. Combining high-quality data collection with customizable data workflows, Fibion Helix is ideal for large sample sizes and diverse research applications.

With affordable scalability and a versatile range of metrics—from acceleration to heart rate variability (HRV)—Fibion Helix gives researchers the flexibility and power to expand their studies while maintaining precise, reliable data.

Why Affordability and Scalability Matter in Research

For large-scale studies, keeping costs manageable is crucial. The need for multiple devices to gather data from numerous participants can quickly increase expenses, but Fibion Helix’s accessible pricing allows researchers to scale their studies without compromising on data quality.

• Cost-Effective Scaling: With Fibion Helix, research teams can deploy many units without exceeding their budget, allowing for broader, more representative data collection. This cost-effectiveness is especially valuable for large-scale studies where data reliability benefits from including larger sample sizes.
• High-Quality Data at a Low Cost: Unlike higher-end research devices that may be financially out of reach for many projects, Fibion Helix provides accurate, research-grade data at a fraction of the cost. This accessibility means researchers can gather high-quality data from more participants, leading to more robust and statistically reliable results.

Advantage for Researchers: By combining affordable pricing with research-grade accuracy, Fibion Helix enables studies of all sizes to achieve high-quality data without stretching budgets.

Multi-Signal Versatility for Broader Applications

Fibion Helix is a multi-signal device, capturing three-axis acceleration, heart rate, and heart rate variability (HRV). This versatile range of metrics makes it suitable for diverse research applications, enhancing its value for studies that require multiple data points.

Broader Applications Across Projects: By providing multiple data types in one device, Fibion Helix offers researchers the flexibility to conduct various types of studies, from physical activity tracking to stress and recovery monitoring. This versatility supports more multi-dimensional studies, enabling researchers to explore different aspects of participant health and behavior.

Advantage for Researchers: The ability to measure multiple signals with one device allows research teams to conduct a wide range of studies with minimal equipment, enhancing efficiency and cost-effectiveness across projects.

Customizable Data Flow with SDK and API

In large-scale studies, efficient data flow is essential. Fibion Helix’s SDK (Software Development Kit) and API (Application Programming Interface) provide tools for researchers to customize data workflows and streamline data management, ensuring that data is collected and transferred in the way that best suits their study requirements.

• Flexibility for Large Studies: With the SDK and API, researchers can optimize data flow to manage the high volume of data generated in large studies. These tools allow seamless integration with existing research systems, so data collection from multiple participants remains organized and accessible.
• Streamlined Data Management: The SDK and API offer customizable data transfer options for large studies, simplifying how data is gathered, stored, and analyzed. This capability ensures that researchers can handle data from large participant pools efficiently without overwhelming research infrastructure.

Advantage for Researchers: Customizability through the SDK and API supports efficient data flow management in large studies, allowing researchers to adapt data workflows to suit the scale and scope of their projects.

How Fibion Helix Provides Value for Large-Scale Studies

Fibion Helix strikes an optimal balance between research-grade data quality and affordability, providing value for studies requiring large participant samples and high-quality data.

• Research-Grade Quality at a Lower Price: Fibion Helix provides the precision of more expensive research devices but at a far more accessible price point. This makes it suitable for both small pilot projects and extensive cohort studies, offering robust data collection that fits within the financial reach of diverse research teams.
• Built for Large Cohorts: Fibion Helix’s streamlined setup and cost-effective design make it feasible to deploy across large cohorts, resulting in broader data collection and more comprehensive results. With Fibion Helix, researchers have the freedom to expand sample sizes and strengthen study findings without logistical or financial strain.

Advantage for Researchers: Researchers benefit from an affordable device that doesn’t compromise on quality, making Fibion Helix a valuable investment for any study that relies on extensive data.

Comparing Fibion Helix to Other Research-Grade and Consumer Devices

• Higher-Cost Research Devices: Many research-grade devices provide high data quality but come with a hefty price tag, making it difficult for teams to scale studies. Fibion Helix offers similar data quality at a fraction of the price, allowing for larger, more inclusive studies.
• Consumer Wearables: Consumer wearables may be less expensive, but they lack research-grade data accuracy and don’t provide access to raw data or SDK/API options. These limitations make consumer devices unsuitable for in-depth research, especially in large-scale studies where data quality and management are essential.

Advantage for Researchers: Fibion Helix combines the quality of high-end devices with affordability and flexibility, providing researchers with a cost-effective solution that supports scalable, reliable research.

Examples of Research Studies Benefiting from Affordable Scalability

• Cohort Studies: Cohort studies require large participant samples, and Fibion Helix’s affordability and versatile metrics make it possible to include broad demographics while collecting high-quality data.
• Population Health Research: In epidemiological studies, capturing a representative sample is crucial. Fibion Helix’s affordable scalability enables researchers to include more participants, ensuring the data reflects broader population trends.
• Intervention Studies: Affordable scalability allows for more participants in intervention studies, improving the study’s statistical power and providing more reliable results.

Conclusion

Fibion Helix’s affordable scalability and versatile metrics make it a practical choice for researchers conducting large-scale studies. With its combination of research-grade accuracy, multiple data types, and customizability, Fibion Helix allows research teams to gather high-quality data without compromising their budget.

Advantage for Researchers: With Fibion Helix, researchers can expand study sizes, improve data quality, and manage data workflows efficiently—all at an accessible price.
