activPAL
activPAL is a posture tracking device. Participants in many of our studies wear these on their thigh for one week at some point in the study. It is a miniature logger that electronically records position, activity, and step rate of the individual. From this information, we can determine how much time was spent doing various activities throughout the day.

Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi is a very small computer that can be utilized in a variety of different ways. We use it to help the study devices in one of our projects all 'talk' to each other. Once it is programmed and plugged in, it takes information from different sources and sends it all into our study specific app.
