ActiGraph Objective Measures

The ActiGraph wGT3X-BT captures and records high resolution raw acceleration data, which is converted into a variety of objective activity and sleep measures using publicly available algorithms developed and validated by members of the academic research community. Available measures include:

  • Raw Acceleration (G's)
  • Activity Counts
  • Energy Expenditure
  • MET Rates
  • Steps Taken
  • Physical Activity Intensity
  • Activity Bouts
  • Sedentary Bouts
  • Body Position
  • Sleep Latency
  • Total Sleep Time
  • Wake After Sleep Onset
  • Sleep Efficiency
  • Ambient Light
  • Heart Rate R-R Intervals*
*Requires compatible Bluetooth® Polar H7 or Polar H10 heart rate monitors

ActiGraph wGT3X-BT Features

Bluetooth® Smart

ActiGraph wGT3X-BT monitors are powered by Bluetooth® Smart technology and support a variety of wireless features, including heart rate monitoring, proximity detection, and communication with ActiGraph’s suite of mobile applications for iOs and Android devices.

Wear Time Sensor

A wear time sensor on the back of the monitor uses capacitive touch technology to automatically detect when a wrist worn device has been removed for simplified compliance monitoring and data cleaning.

Ambient Light Sensor

The wGT3X-BT includes an integrated ambient light sensor that delivers lux values alongside activity information, providing insights into the relationship between the subject environment and activity and sleep behaviors.

ActiGraph wGT3X-BT Specifications

The ActiGraph wGT3X-BT captures and records high resolution human activity information using a solid state 3-axis MEMS accelerometer and our proprietary filtering algorithm. The wGT3X-BT is fully backward compatible with previous device models to ensure data comparability for our existing clients.
