The activPAL™ is a widely utilized research-focussed wearable sensor for objectively quantifying free-living sedentary and ambulatory behaviors. Its extensive use in research, as evidenced by thousands of publications across diverse participant populations, underscores its value in providing robust data for assessing treatment efficacy and disease-related risks.

The activPAL categorizes daily activities into distinct posture-defined states: in-bed, lying, sitting, and ambulatory activities (standing, stepping, cycling). Typically, the device is worn continuously for up to 14 days, offering researchers objective Free-Living Outcomes (FLO) which can be broadly categorized into measures of Participation (Behavioral Outcomes) and measures of Ability (Biometric Outcomes).  These behavioral outcomes quantify the volume, frequency and duration of an individual’s engagement in specific activities whereas biometric outcomes are independent of activity volume and reflect the quality or performance of movements, for example walking intensity or sit-to-stand transition time.

New in 2025 is the activPAL4pro, the first natively waterproof activPAL (no jacket required).  The aP4pro is optimized for artificial intelligence (AI) data analysis, featuring a data collection rate of up to 100 Hz and an updated, loss-less, high-fidelity data storage format. These enhancements are expected to facilitate more sophisticated and nuanced analyses of the acceleration and inclination data.
