Actigraphy is a method that uses a wrist-worn device to monitor and assess sleep patterns and daily activity levels by tracking movement and periods of rest. For decades, actigraphy has been a benchmark for at-home sleep and circadian rhythm measurements.View our actigraphy collection on Labfront Academy to learn more.
Generally, only newer Garmin device models support the actigraphy feature. Please view this table for a full list of actigraphy-supported devices.
Not at all! We’ve created validated actigraphy packages to help you analyze your data. You can learn more about Labfront Analytics.
With Labfront you can capture actigraphy and accelerometer (ACC) data. While both measure movement, they serve different purposes. Actigraphy primarily focuses on monitoring sleep-wake patterns and circadian rhythms. It is used to assess sleep quality, duration, and patterns over time. In contrast, ACC data is for detailed studies of physical activity, providing precise data on movement intensity, frequency, and duration, commonly used in sports science, physical activity research, and gait analysis.
