From Physical Activity Measurement to Meaningful Behaviour Change
Activ8 is a research-grade physical activity monitoring and intervention platform that combines validated movement sensing, intelligent data analysis and evidence-based intervention frameworks to support sustainable behaviour change.
Designed for healthcare research, rehabilitation programs and behavioural studies, Activ8 goes beyond tracking. We connect objective activity data with structured interventions and remote guidance to support people in real life, not just in the lab.
The Challenge
Why measuring activity alone is not enough
Many activity monitors focus on registration, not transformation.
Data is collected, but not translated into actionable insight
Feedback is generic, not personalised
Motivation declines over time
Professionals lack continuous insight into real-world behaviour
The result: limited impact, low adherence and missed opportunities for timely intervention.
The Activ8 Approach
A complete platform for activity monitoring and behaviour change
Activ8 integrates four essential layers into one coherent system:
1. Validated Physical Activity Measurement
Research-grade sensing and classification technology, validated in a large body of scientific literature, that captures and categorises real-world movement behaviour with high reliability. Not only steps, but intensity, duration and activity patterns in daily life.
2. Intelligent Data Analysis
Algorithms translate raw activity data into meaningful behavioural insights, identifying patterns, trends and changes over time.
3. Evidence-Based Intervention Framework (RISE)
Activ8 is linked to the RISE intervention framework, developed and evaluated in research settings to support sustainable behaviour change using structured, data-driven strategies.
4. Remote Monitoring & Guidance
Researchers and professionals can follow participants remotely, adapt interventions and provide guidance or training without the need for continuous in-person contact.
From measurement to insight. From insight to intervention. From intervention to sustainable change.
What we measure
Validated classification of activity and sleep in real life
Activ8 provides continuous, research-grade classification of daily behaviour using validated sensing technology and algorithms that have been evaluated across a large number of scientific studies.
Physical Activity
- Sedentary behaviour (sitting)
- Standing
- Walking
- Running
- Cycling
- General movement and transitions
- Energy expenditure
- Steps
Sleep & Rest
- Sleep position & duration
- Sleep movements, periods and interruptions
- Rest vs. activity phases
Behavioural Metrics
- Activity duration per class
- Activity intensity distribution
- Transitions between activity states
- Changes over time and response to interventions
- Longitudinal changes over time
All classifications are performed in free-living conditions and have been validated in multiple peer-reviewed studies.
Scientifically validated
The Activ8 activity classification algorithms have been validated in a wide range of peer-reviewed studies across different populations and use cases.
Experienced innovators
With years of experience in developing advanced sensor systems and data-driven solutions, we are specialised in identifying complex real-world problems and translating them into robust, scalable technologies. We combine system thinking, engineering depth and application insight to create solutions that work beyond the lab and deliver value in practice.
We start from the intended application and user context, and select or develop the technologies that best fit the problem – not the other way around.
Designed Around the User
Our solutions are developed around the real needs, workflows and constraints of end users. We involve users early and continuously in the development process, using hands-on evaluation and field testing to validate assumptions and identify opportunities for improvement.
We believe that meaningful innovation happens when technology adapts to the user – not when users are forced to adapt to technology.
Open & Secure Sensor Platforms
We develop flexible, modular sensor platforms with open interfaces that enable efficient data collection, integration and analysis across diverse applications. At the same time, we place strong emphasis on data security, privacy and controlled access, ensuring that sensitive information is protected throughout the entire data lifecycle.
This balance between openness and security allows our platforms to be used in research, healthcare and sensitive operational environments.
Broad and Deep Sensor Expertise
We bring extensive expertise in a wide range of sensor technologies, including motion, physiological and environmental sensing. We understand not only how sensors work, but also their limitations, failure modes and integration challenges in real-world systems.
This enables us to design reliable, high-quality solutions and to integrate diverse sensing technologies into coherent, application-ready platforms.
How we work
From real-world challenges to robust solutions
We work with healthcare innovators, researchers and technology partners to translate complex real-world challenges into reliable, scalable sensing and intervention solutions. Our approach is application-driven, not technology-driven.
We combine validated platforms, deep development expertise and close collaboration to create solutions that work in practice – not just in theory.
Start from the application
Every project begins with a deep understanding of your use case, context and constraints. We analyse the problem, the user environment and the operational requirements before selecting or designing the most appropriate technologies.
We do not force existing technology onto a problem. We design solutions around the problem.
Build on proven platforms
Where possible, we leverage our existing validated platforms – such as the Activ8 activity and sleep monitoring technology – to accelerate development and reduce risk.
This allows you to:
- build on proven, research-grade technology
- shorten development cycles
- reduce technical uncertainty
Without compromising on performance or reliability.
Co-develop where needed
When existing solutions do not fully meet your requirements, we co-develop. This can include:
- hardware adaptation or new sensor development
- algorithm and data pipeline development
- software and interface design
- system integration and optimisation
We work as a development partner, not as a supplier.
Deliver scalable, real-world solutions
When existing solutions do not fully meet your requirements, we co-We design for real-world use from day one: reliability, usability, integration and scalability are built into the solution.
Depending on the project, we support:
- prototyping and pilot deployments
- validation and evaluation
- production and scaling
- OEM integration into your own products or platforms
Always with a focus on long-term applicability and impact.
