How to select measurement settings and what difference those make? - Dr. Olli Tikkanen (Pt2)

"How does customizable data collection enhance research accuracy?" In this episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen explains the importance of customizable data collection settings in research and how the Fibion Flash device offers flexibility to suit a variety of study types. The ability to adjust sampling frequencies, sensor activation, and measurement ranges allows researchers to align data collection precisely with their objectives—whether for low-frequency sedentary behavior studies or high-frequency sports biomechanics research. Dr. Tikkanen discusses the versatility of Fibion Flash, which features a 9-axis motion sensor and options for ECG and heart rate variability measurement.

He also covers practical examples, such as selecting the optimal accelerometer range for accurate physical activity data and adjusting settings for heart rate variability to capture precise cardiovascular information. With customizable options ranging from 12.5 Hz to 416 Hz for sampling frequency, Fibion Flash supports diverse research needs, providing reliable data for short-term and long-term projects. This episode is perfect for researchers looking for adaptable tools to optimize their study designs.
