ABC Sleep Pilot Study - FAQ's - Australian Breakthrough Cancer Study

On what wrist do I wear the Actigraph?

You should wear the Actigraph on your non-dominant wrist (i.e. if you are right handed please wear the Actigraph on your left wrist).

What is the Actigraph measuring?

The Actigraph is measuring how active you are by recording how much you move and sleep.

Should I wear the ActiGraphy 24 hr?

Yes, it records your movement during the day and your sleep at night.

Can I get the Actigraph wet?

Yes. The Actigraph is water resistant and can be worn in the shower, but it should not be submerged (please remove before swimming or taking a bath).

Can I get my accelerometer data?

You will not get the accelerometer data report everyday like the Withings under-mattress sleep device. However, you can contact the Study Team on 1800 688 419 or mail info@abcstudy.com.au if you would like to access your information from the accelerometer. If you do so, once we verify your identity, you will be sent a brief report that summarises your activity data collected by the accelerometer.
