Processing+Heart+Rate+Data+from+a+Second+Device

Previous to Release 4.1 of the PALMS Calculation, activity and heart rate data was collected by the same device, either the ActiHeart, ActiTrainer or Zephyr Bioharness. PALMS users requested the ability to use separate activity (accelerometer) and heart rate devices. In particular, use of the ActiGraph Accelerometers (or activity) with the ActiTrainer (for heart rate). To meet these requirements, we developed a version of the ActiTrainer device importer that stores only the heart rate data and PALMS Calculation Release 4.1 (currently in beta).

To utilize this capability:


 * 1) Add the "ActiLife5 Data Table" device to your study
 * 2) Add the "ActiTrainer HR Only" device to your study
 * 3) Add "PALMS Calculation R4.1" to your study
 * 4) Add the appropriate GPS device to your study
 * 5) Upload accelerometer data using the "ActiLife 5 Data Table" device
 * 6) Upload heart rate data using the "ActiTrainer HR Only" device
 * 7) Upload GPS data using the GPS device
 * 8) Run PALMS Calculation R4.1. It will automatically use the heart rate data from the HR only device.


 * Note:** Release 4.1 has some new parameters which are detailed on this page.
