Heart rate interval (also known as RRI/IBI/BBI) is the time between each individual heartbeat. RR-Interval captured via ECG is available from Movesense devices. BBI captured through the pulse can be obtained from Garmin wearables.
From BBI data, researchers are able to derive valuable metrics such as heart rate variability (HRV) at the most granular level available. HRV is an accepted measure to approximate autonomic nervous system (ANS) function.

Actigraphy is a non-invasive method used to monitor human rest/activity cycles via an accelerometer-equipped device. We've adapted medical-grade actigraphy algorithms to process raw accelerometer data from Garmin wearables, achieving over 95% accuracy. Our solution provides access to two leading methods: movement energy and movement frequency/zero-crossing.
Get research-grade sleep data by remotely monitoring sleep in a participant's natural environment, offering more comprehensive insights into overall sleep patterns than a few nights in a lab.

High resolution electrocardiogram (ECG) data is the gold standard for heart rate rate monitoring, especially useful if you are measuring during exercise.
This data can be used to derive HRV as well as sleep apnea (cardiopulmonary coupling), or to detect heart tremors and atrial fibrillation.
125Hz - 500Hz
Check out this study validating the Movesense Medical sensor against a conventional 12 channel ECG for measuring HRV.
With Labfront and Movesense, track any type of motion with high-resolution 9-axis motion tracking. Get IMU data in aggregate or individually select from 3-axis accelerometer data, 3-axis gyroscope data, and 3-axis magnetometer data.
Used to track everything from walking cadence and gait to tremors from Parkinson's.

A robust CSV file offering valuable insights on a number of different metrics over the course of a participant’s day. Each row of statistics represents one day.
Researchers are able to observe high-level data for each day such as average heart rate, maximum/minimum stress levels, total steps taken, calories burned, etc.
Daily
View how the daily summary data is organized for you in Labfront.
This file contains activity types- from walking to running to cycling- and the intensities of such activities for each of your participants.
With this data, you can derive ratios such as amount of time spent active versus the amount of time spent sedentary over the course of a specific time period.

Respiration tracks breathing rate throughout the day, during sleep, and during activities such as breathwork and yoga. It is measured in breaths per minute.
Respiratory rate is usually a stable metric, so an increased respiratory rate may be a sign of illness or stress (especially when paired with low activity). Tracking respiration can be useful for sleep staging as well.
10 sec - 60 min
Respiration is only supported on some Garmin devices, such as the vivosmart 5 and Venu SQ. Check our compatible devices page for the full list.
Although most often measured using a finger clip, blood oxygen saturation can also be obtained on the wrist. Select Garmin wearables support wrist-based blood oxymetry.
Fluctuations in blood oxygen levels can help provide insight into a participant’s overall health. Also used to in sleep apnea measurements.

Research Highlight
Sprint Interval Training in Postpartum Athletes
Labfront’s Women’s Health Grant 2023 recipient, Normand Richard, published a study exploring the effects of sprint interval training (SIT) on maintaining enhanced cardiac output postpartum. The research centered on a competitive field hockey player and former cyclist, who started SIT five weeks postpartum after an uncomplicated delivery.
The study aimed to evaluate whether early postpartum SIT could sustain the increased cardiac output (Q̇) and blood volume (BV) observed during pregnancy, which support fetal growth and are known to enhance athletic performance.
