These devices are required for the EU IDEA-FAST and Mobilise-D projects. The devices were specifically chosen due to their ability to measure acceleration and rotational forces. They were also chosen for their ease of use and comfort (important for specific group participating in the studies who may have reduced mobility, dexterity and cognitive function). The AX6 is an accelerometer data logger developed by Axivity that is worn with a provided wristband or can be attached elsewhere on the body with a patch. AX6 features a 6-axis accelerometer, temperature sensor, light sensor, real time quartz clock and an on-board memory for data storage. Sampling rate and range are configurable which enables it to be optimized to different uses. Collection up to 16 days is possible at 100Hz without recharging. The long battery life and high-resolution data make it ideal for collecting longitudinal movement data in clinical trials. Data is stored on the device and requires manual transfer. There is a large repository of AX3 data (~100,000 subjects \[12\]) within the UK biobank and has over 20 peer reviewed publications including disease populations of interest to IDEA-FAST, e.g., people with Parkinson's. The device has been tested in patients with Parkinson's disease, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Huntington's disease and Primary Sjogren's Syndrome across clinical hospital sites within the EU with positive feedback from both patients and clinical staff.
