How to place the sensor

Background

The sensor is worn discreetly on the thigh, 24 hours a day. It is compact, waterproof and flexible. As soon as the patch with the sensor is placed and put into use, the objective and accurate activity measurements are displayed online where staff can access them. 

Guide to changing the patch

Before assembling the sensor and patch, check that the sensor is active and assigned to the desired patient. Note or remember the sensor name/number for the patient to be created.

Once the patch with sensor is placed and put into use, the objective and accurate activity measurements are displayed online for research staff to access. The measurement period depends on the purpose, ranging from hours to months. The sensor can measure continuously up to 22 weeks, and store up to 10 days of data in case it is not emptied. The patch is recommended to be changed to a new one within 14 days. If redness or irritation occurs during use, remove the patch immediately as instructed.
