Why Leading Researchers Choose Fibion for Precision and Simplicity

A collage of eight leading researchers' headshots with the text "Researchers' Experiences Using Fibion" at the bottom, highlighting its precision and simplicity.

Introduction

For researchers, data collection is the cornerstone of reliable outcomes. Fibion has emerged as a trusted tool for simplifying complex data collection processes, offering accuracy, ease of use, and efficiency. But don’t just take our word for it—hear from the researchers who have used Fibion and experienced its advantages firsthand.

1. Ease of Use: Less Time on Setup, More Time for Research

Fibion has been praised for its user-friendly design, which allows researchers to focus more on their work and less on technical difficulties. Dr. Samad Esmaeilzadeh highlighted how Fibion’s simplicity made it stand out in his research.

“The reason is that it was really easy to go. Just by a short time of charging, you can use it for a long time. Put it in your pocket or attach it to your thigh, and that’s it,” shared Dr. Esmaeilzadeh.

This ease of setup was echoed by Nicola Camp, who appreciated how straightforward Fibion was to get started with:

“The initial setup I found really easy. It’s just as straightforward as plugging it in, and it’s good to go. It’s a lot easier than other systems where you need to manually configure the data collection,” said Camp.

2. Data Accuracy You Can Trust

Accuracy in data is critical, especially in fields like physical activity and sleep research. Prof. Alexander Montoye was impressed by Fibion’s ability to accurately track a variety of activities in controlled settings.

“For most of the reported metrics, the Fibion device had pretty high accuracy in a laboratory setting, especially in measuring sitting, standing, walking, and cycling,” said Prof. Montoye.

Dr. Patrick Jachyra also praised Fibion’s reliability, particularly in comparison to other devices like accelerometers and Fitbits.

“I thought as a researcher it was a very helpful tool—much more reliable than an accelerometer or even Fitbits. The quality of data it captures, especially for movements that might otherwise go unnoticed, is exceptional,” Dr. Jachyra noted.

This high level of precision is what keeps researchers returning to Fibion for their data collection needs, ensuring that they can trust the results and maintain the integrity of their studies.

3. A Seamless Experience for Participants

Research often relies on participants who need to wear devices for extended periods, so comfort and ease are essential. Dr. Anna Biller shared how non-intrusive Fibion is for participants:

“It’s really not noticeable. It doesn’t interfere with the daily life of the participants,” said Dr. Biller, ensuring that long-term studies don’t disrupt the lives of those being studied.

This sentiment was also echoed by Project Leader Carolina Kluft, who works with children and found Fibion particularly easy for them to use:

“We thought Fibion was the easiest device to use on kids. They could put it on and forget about it for a week,” she said.

For researchers working with participants, this non-intrusive design makes Fibion the perfect choice, ensuring high compliance rates and minimal disruptions to daily activities.

4. Simplified Data Analysis for Faster Insights

Beyond accurate data collection, Fibion streamlines the analysis process, allowing researchers to spend less time handling data and more time generating insights. Dr. Patrick Jachyraw appreciated Fibion’s ability to simplify data handling:

“One of the unique features of Fibion is the data analysis. You can take the data straight from the device and start playing with it, without worrying about exporting and recoding it,” he noted.

Mika Fisk was similarly impressed with how easy it was to understand the reports Fibion generated, noting:

“The report was really straightforward, and it was very easy for me to take what I learned and change my behavior accordingly,” Fisk said.

By making data easy to manage and interpret, Fibion supports faster, more informed decision-making in research.

5. Support When You Need It

Lastly, having a reliable support team is essential when adopting new technology. Dr. Ashokan Arumugam highlighted the importance of Fibion’s customer service and technical assistance during his research.

“Your team has been really helpful. Whenever we had any doubts, especially when starting new research, the technical expertise provided was invaluable,” said Dr. Arumugam.

Knowing that expert support is just a call away gives researchers the confidence to adopt Fibion for their projects, knowing they’ll never be left without guidance.
