Activity Classes
Every second of the monitoring session is classified into one of three activity classes:
Inactive, Active, and Locomotion.
Inactive Class
Time spent sitting, lying, or standing still is accumulated into the Inactive Class. To be
classified as Inactive the wearer must not take any steps for at least 20 seconds.
Active Class
Time spent "up and about" is accumulated into the Active Class. Typical indoor movement
activities in the Active class are preparing a meal, cleaning the house, or short trips around
the office.
Locomotion Class
Time spent "walking somewhere" is accumulated into the Locomotion Class. The wearer
must take at least 20 consecutive steps for the activity to register in the Locomotion Class.
Examples include going for a walk, walking in a shopping mall, or walking across a parking
lot. Speed is calculated for locomotion within this class.
FAQS
How do I know if the pod is collecting data?
· The flashing clock icon at the bottom of the screen on the pod flashes during data
collection. If this icon is flashing, then you know data are being collected. If this icon is not
visible then the pod is not collecting data.
· The pod shows the elapsed time since the start of the trial. Initially elapsed time is
displayed in minutes and seconds (mm:ss), then hours and minutes (hh:mm), then days
and hours (e.g. 3d04 for three days and four hours).
How do I stop data collection?
· Use STOP under the TRIAL menu.
If I accidentally press a button during data collection, will it affect the data or stop the trial?
· No, button presses will navigate through menus/data; only STOP under the TRIAL
menu will stop the trial.
Can the pod be worn in the shower, in the rain, or in the bath?
