Garmin's Advanced Health Metrics for Researchers
Join us for a Labfront-hosted webinar featuring insights from Scott Burgett, Director of Garmin Health Engineering, and Dr. Andrew Ahn, Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and Labfront’s Chief Medical Officer. Discover the potential of Garmin’s latest technology, including enhanced beat-to-beat interval (BBI) and actigraphy capabilities.
In this session, we'll provide a technical overview of these advanced features and their practical applications in sleep, stress, and activity research. Learn how heart rate variability (HRV) can be used to assess sleep quality and stress recovery, and how Garmin’s actigraphy can help study sleep-wake cycles. Additionally, get an introduction to Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) for training and exercise from the team that helped develop it.
This webinar is ideal for researchers looking to deepen their understanding of physiological metrics and improve study outcomes. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from leading experts and explore how Garmin’s latest technologies can be applied to your work.
