What Kind of Wearables Can Pathverse Integrate With? 

1. Consumer-Grade Wearables

Pathverse integrates seamlessly with popular consumer-grade wearables like Fitbit, Garmin, and Apple Watch through APIs. These devices are widely available, easy to use, and offer a variety of data points, such as step counts, active minutes, heart rate, and sleep patterns. 

Pros of Consumer Wearables: 

• Ease of Use: Participants are often familiar with these devices, which enhances usability and compliance. 

• Accessibility: These devices are cost-effective and readily available. 

• Comprehensive Data: They collect a wide range of data, from physical activity to heart rate variability. 

Cons of Consumer Wearables: 

• Data Accuracy: Consumer-grade wearables may not always provide precise data, especially in research requiring high levels of accuracy. 

• Limited Customization: These devices are built for general users and may not meet the specific needs of certain studies. 

Unique Features with Pathverse: 

• In alignment with Apple Health and Google Fit regulations, researchers can sync up to 30 days of data from participants’ devices.

• The platform ensures that collected data integrates directly into research workflows, making analysis simple and efficient. 

2. Research-Grade Wearables

For studies requiring more precise data, Pathverse also integrates with research-grade wearables, such as the Sens activity monitor. Sens is specifically designed for scientific research, offering high-quality, validated data that meets the rigorous standards of academic and clinical studies. 

What is Sens? Sens is a wearable activity monitor developed for researchers, providing detailed and accurate measurements of movement, activity levels, and energy expenditure. It is ideal for studies that demand precision, such as clinical trials or research on physical activity in specific populations.
