Where to wear a wearable? Innovations in research with different sensor locations - Dr. Olli Tikkanen (Pt3)

"Why does device placement matter in physical activity and biomechanics research?" In this final part of the episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen discusses the importance of selecting the right wear location for devices like Fibion Flash, tailored to different research goals. Device placement can significantly affect the accuracy of data collection, whether for sedentary behavior, heart rate variability, or biomechanics studies. Dr. Tikkanen explains how Fibion Flash’s versatile snap connectors and textile integration make it easy to shift between wrist, thigh, and chest placements, optimizing data collection across various studies.

He also shares unique applications of the device beyond traditional placements, such as attaching it to sports equipment or vehicles for occupational research. The flexibility of Fibion Flash allows researchers to capture a wide range of data, enhancing study design and providing greater value for research investments. This episode is ideal for researchers interested in optimizing device placement to gather more relevant data.
