Intelligent Sensor System Usage Bootcamp Service

This bootcamp provides hands-on training for researchers using Garmin Vivosmart 5, Fitbit Charge 6, and Embrace Plus devices. Participants will learn how to:

Set up and configure the intelligent sensor system.
Create accounts on vendor platforms (Labfront, Fitabase, and Empatica).
Operate the intelligent sensor system effectively for research use.
Upload and download data from vendor websites.
Address key considerations for managing large and complex data sets.

Intelligent Sensor System Data Software Selection Advisory Service

This service provides expert consultations to assist researchers in understanding the principles of wearable health sensors and in selecting appropriate sensor systems including wearable and intelligent sensors for their research projects.

Identify suitable sensor types and models based on study objectives.
Understand sensor capabilities, accuracy, and limitations.
Evaluate compatibility with data collection platforms (e.g., Labfront, Fitabase, Empatica).

Intelligent Sensor System Data Management Advisory Service

This service provides expert consultations to guide researchers in managing, processing, and analyzing data collected from intelligent sensor systems. Advisory sessions focus on selecting the most effective tools and techniques for each stage of the data workflow, including:

Data Preparation: Guidance on tools and methods for loading, cleaning, transforming, re-arranging, and filtering intelligent sensor system data. Statistical Analysis: Recommendations for statistical tools and methodologies appropriate for sensor-based datasets.
Data Aggregation and Summarization: Techniques for combining, grouping, and summarizing sensor data to support higher-level analysis.
Data Visualization: Recommendations for effective plotting, visualization, and dashboarding of sensor data to support interpretation and reporting.
