Contact usWhat are movement studies?
Movement studies focus on monitoring and analysing physical activity and exercise behaviours using advanced tracking tools. These studies allow researchers to assess metrics such as steps, activity levels, heart rate, and other health indicators. By observing how people move and exercise, researchers gain valuable insights into health outcomes, exercise adherence, and lifestyle patterns.
An example of a movement study might involve exploring how regular physical activity impacts heart health or how step count and exercise routines contribute to managing chronic conditions. These studies help create a clearer picture of health behaviours in both everyday and clinical settings.
What types of data can be collected in movement studies?
Movement studies can collect data such as steps taken, exercise duration, heart rate, calories burned, activity intensity, and overall movement trends. Depending on the tracking device and the study's objectives, additional metrics like sleep patterns or stress levels may also be gathered to provide a holistic view of health and exercise behaviour.
Can movement studies be used for hybrid or decentralised trials?
Yes, movement studies are ideal for both hybrid and fully decentralised trials. They allow researchers to track exercise behaviour and health metrics remotely, empowering participants to contribute data from their homes while maintaining high levels of engagement and compliance.
What challenges are common in movement studies, and how does WeGuide solve them?
Common challenges include incomplete data, device connectivity issues, and participant non-adherence. WeGuide simplifies movement studies by ensuring seamless device pairing, providing real-time syncing of exercise and health data, and engaging participants with reminders and personalised feedback to improve consistency and adherence.
Can movement studies track steps and other activity levels for long-term monitoring?
Movement studies are ideal for tracking steps, activity duration, and exercise intensity over extended periods. This makes them well-suited for longitudinal studies that aim to monitor physical activity trends and their impact on overall health outcomes.
How does movement tracking work on the WeGuide platform?
WeGuide integrates with leading activity trackers to automatically sync exercise data like steps, heart rate, and activity intensity. Researchers can analyse trends, assess behavioural patterns, and gain actionable insights—all in one secure location.
What activity tracking devices does WeGuide support for movement studies?
WeGuide works with popular tracking devices such as Garmin, Apple Watch, and other leading health wearables. This ensures accurate and reliable data collection for metrics like steps, movement intensity, and exercise tracking.
How are you processing the movement and excerise data?
WeGuide complies with ISO 27001 and TGA certifications to ensure all participant data, including movement and exercise behaviour metrics, is securely stored and protected. Researchers can trust that their data meets the highest security standards.
How can researchers export exercise data for analysis?
WeGuide offers a simple one-click export feature. Researchers can access ready-to-analyse datasets that include exercise tracking metrics like steps, activity duration, and health-related behaviours alongside other study data.
