Description
Features of the Respironics Actiwatch 2 Actigraphy System:
Activity level is recognized as a valuable indicator for medical problems and can provide answers to many research questions. Activity levels correlate with sleep/wake patterns, pain level, mood, energy expenditure, fatigue/alertness and other quantifiable parameters. An Actiwatch actigraph also provides an objective record for tracking and documenting normal and abnormal sleep/wake patterns.
Two examples of the use of the Actiwatch are:
Sleep/Wake Patterns and General Activity Level
A digitally integrated recording of wrist activity is a reliable indicator of Sleep/Wake state. The Actiwatch is an actigraphy device that is the size of a standard wrist watch. It allows for the recording of the smallest movements for days, weeks, or even months.
When worn on the wrist, an Actiwatch actigraph can generate an Activity record to be used as a tool to document:
- Sleep/Wake Patterns
- Sleep Disorders
- Circadian Rhythms Disorders
- Disturbances brought on by Shift WorkReal time impedance display
- Basic Activity Levels
- Compliance with Exercise Routines
Actiwatch 2 - In addition to sleep/wake activity recording, Actiwatch 2 has the ability to record information about the amount and duration of ambient white light illuminance, in units of lux. Actiwatch-2 also features a comfortable design to enhance patient compliance, a large 1 MBit storage capacity, a rechargeable battery, a waterproof casing and the ability to be used with a hospital band. Communication to the Actiwatch-2 is achieved via USB connection to the sleek Actiwatch 2 communications dock. These features, among others are why Respironics’ Actiwatch products make it easier than ever to implement actigraphy.
