BOSTON, April 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Empatica, a digital health and AI company developing medical-grade wearables and digital biomarkers for health monitoring and diagnostics, today announced the launch of Empatica Actigraphy, a powerful new addition to the company's FDA-cleared Empatica Health Monitoring Platform, offering a new set of digital biomarkers for monitoring sleep and physical activity along with the capability to collect data continuously for up to 14 days on a single charge. The new offering premiered at the American Academy of Neurology's 2023 Annual Meeting, the world's leading gathering of neurology leaders.

"We believe our community of leading researchers and health care professionals deserve the most reliable, accurate and powerful tools for collecting clinical data" said Matteo Lai, co-founder and CEO of Empatica.

We are proud to continue our work to set the standard for digital health measurements."

Empatica Actigraphy offers two distinct "sensor modes" for EmbracePlus, Empatica's advanced smartwatch for continuous health monitoring: Actigraphy Pro and Actigraphy Optimized. These hardware configurations are designed to tackle commonly faced challenges in clinical research and lower the burden of the patient experience, to improve compliance and participation while generating meaningful data over extended time periods.

Empatica Actigraphy was specifically developed to suit the needs of sleep and activity-related studies and provide digital biomarkers across various core areas including:

• Sleep analysis
• Sleep detection
• Gait/step count
• Wearing detection
• Body position
• Activity intensity
• Energy expenditure
• Activity counts
• Activity classification

Empatica's Platform adds key sleep and activity measures to an already rich offering of digital biomarkers including pulse rate, SpO2 and respiratory rate, making it a highly scalable solution beyond the capabilities of other actigraphy options currently available in the market.
