Background
Objectives
• Physical activity has been linked to general health, and to mental health in particular.
• Mobile technologies, including a wide range of actigraphy monitors (Table 1) can assist in objectively measuring physical activity.
• Differences in procedural and analytical methodologies in studies measuring physical activity (Table 2) make it difficult to review the aggregate evidence.
• To summarize specifications of available devices for recording of actigraphy and health.
• To review procedural and analytical methods in existing studies of mood disorders.
• To illustrate data collection methods in a large community based family study of comorbidity of mood disorders and medical disorders.

• Community-based family study in the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area.
• 339 participants- Sex: 137 male, 202 female- Age: mean= 41.9, range=10-84- BMI: mean= 27.2, SD=7.1
Methods• The Actiwatch® Score Minimitter was worn on the
non-dominant wrist for two weeks to acquire data from at least one weekend.
• To examine measurement accuracy and continuity of different devices, we compared data obtained from the Actiwatch simultaneously with another actimetrymonitor, GENEActiv® (ActivInsights) in a small subset of study participants.
Results• There were discrepancies in measured activity
between the Actiwatch and GENEActiv devices (Figure 2A-B).
• Differences in activity levels exist when comparing dominant vs. non-dominant wear (Figure 2C).
• Activity results vary for weekend vs. weekday (Figure 2D), age (Figure 2E), and time of day (Figure 2D-E).
Conclusions
• Standardization of procedural and statistical methodology is critical for the emerging field of actimetry research.
• Data collection spanning one weekend is necessary to acquire representative information on activity patterns.
• Wrist-worn activity monitors should be placed on non-dominant wrist for more conservative estimate of physical activity.

Future Directions
• Future studies should utilize raw tri-axial data from easy-to-use activity monitors.
• Covariates such as age, time of day, and weekend vs. weekday that influence both activity and health outcomes should be included in analyses of activity.
• It may be possible to calibrate measures across devices that provide raw triaxial data.
Figure 2: (A-B) Large differences in measured activity data from one patient wearing both Actiwatch and GENEActiv devices shows that direct comparison of data obtained from two different brands cannot be done unless a standard measurement is in place, such as raw tri-axial vector magnitudes; (C) Wearing the GENEActiv device on the dominant wrist results in a higher magnitude of activity.

Figure 3: Data from 339 participants wearing Actiwatch monitors highlight differences in measured activity on weekdays versus weekends (A), as well as differences across ages and differences in time of day (B). Investigations into activity differences based on other covariates such as BMI, season, and medication use are ongoing.
