ActiSpec® is a small limb worn activity monitor designed for documents associated with applications in physiological monitoring. The device intended use is to analyze limb activity associated with movement during sleep. The unit can also be used to assess activity in any instance where quantifiable analysis of physical motion is desirable.

ActiSpec® consists of a pair of toe bands containing firmware within the toe band housing, and an offline data download, scoring, and report generation tool. The ActiSpec® toe band is a small, battery-operated activity monitor worn on the big (great) toe. ActiSpec® typically is packaged as a pair of toe bands, one for each big toe. ActiSpec® measures, records, and scores movements caused by the contraction of the tibialis anterior muscle responsible for movement of the big toe and dorsiflexion of the ankle and foot. These movements are detected by the accelerometer. The intention is for the patient to wear the toe bands only while sleeping for five (5) consecutive nights. After the fifth night, the patient returns the toe bands to Sleep Modus and a report is generated for the care provider. The generated report contains statistical information regarding the movements of the patient each night including a graph showing those movements. The report is in the form of a PDF document emailed to the care provider. ActiSpec® has a 2-year shelf life in addition to a 120-hour active data collection period. Device activation occurs upon removal of the toe bands from the light-proof packaging.
