Multisensor Data Collection in One Wearable

LEAP brings multiple sensing technologies together in one wearable device, helping researchers capture synchronized data streams across movement, physiology, and environmental context.

Its sensor profile includes:

  • Accelerometry
  • Gyroscope
  • Photoplethysmography (PPG)
  • Skin Temperature
  • Barometer
  • Microphone Capabilities

Flexible Wear Positions for 
Study-Specific Measures

Different research questions may require different device placements. LEAP supports multiple wear positions, allowing academic teams to align placement with their endpoints, participant population, and study protocol.

Supported wear locations include:

  • Icon of a Wrist Wrist
  • Icon of an Ankle Ankle
  • Icon of an Upper Arm Upper Arm
  • Icon of a Waist Waist
  • Icon of Lumbar Lumbar

This operational flexibility helps researchers capture targeted measures while supporting participant comfort, adherence, and real-world protocol feasibility.

Sleep

Capture sleep duration, timing, efficiency, fragmentation, sleep-wake patterns, and rest-activity rhythms.

Explore Sleep

Vital Signs

Monitor autonomic and cardiovascular digital measures, including heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), skin temperature, and related physiological trends.

Explore Vital Signs

Gait & Mobility

Assess walking behavior, gait speed, cadence, mobility patterns, posture, and movement quality 
in controlled and free-living environments.

Explore Gait & Mobility

Cardinal Symptons

Quantify disease-specific symptoms, including irregular movement, cough, or scratching behavior.
