Wheelchair rugby Wheelchair rugby, also known as “murderball” is a thrilling sport for people with physical disabilities. The sport originated in 1977 and first featured at the 2000 Paralympic Games. Athletes compete in teams of four to carry the ball over the opponent’s try line. Contact between wheelchairs is allowed, and is an integral part […]
Measuring respiratory frequency, i.e. breathing rate, offers benefits in monitoring both health and disease. Determining respiratory rate is also important in sports science, e.g. in defining ventilatory thresholds and exercise intensity. There are several ways to detect breathing frequency, such as breathing gas analysis, mechanical stretch sensors, breathing sound analysis, and optical blood measurement, i.e. […]
A scientific study finds high correlation between the heart rate variability parameters measured with Movesense Medical and a gold standard 12-lead ECG monitor. The study concludes that Movesense Medical can be used instead of a reference ECG for the calculation of HRV. According to the study, Movesense Medical represents a significant advance in both a […]

The program supports researchers with expert tools and technical help for collecting movement, heart rate and ECG data. New projects are invited to the program on quarterly basis based on applications. We are excited to announce the first […]
Movesense Academic Program is an initiative by the Movesense team and Movesense development partner Kaasa Solution to support scientific research with expert tools for collecting movement, heart rate and ECG data. Two new projects were invited to Movesense Academic Program during the last quarter of 2021. In addition, we are discussing with a few very interesting projects […]
Movesense congratulates TeamNL for winning wheelchair basketball in Tokyo Paralympics! The team has been using Movesense sensors to monitor their training and, apparently, to gain a competitive edge. The training tool that the team is using is Wheelchair Mobility Performance Monitor, an application developed by a Dutch research group led by Dr. Rienk van der […]
Movesense Academic Program is an initiative by the Movesense team and Movesense development partner Kaasa Solution to support scientific research with expert tools for collecting movement, heart rate and ECG data. We are proud to invite two new projects to the program. Both projects of this selection round are related to health. One of the […]
One of the Movesense Academic Program participants, Neurobit Technologies, Singapore, is working on combining sleep staging and respiratory event detection with Movesense sensors to enable sleep disorder assessment at scale. During the project, Neurobit validates its algorithm for detecting sleep stages and Obstructive Sleep Apnea using ECG and motion data from Movesense. The company has […]
Movesense Academic Program, our initiative to support scientific research projects with high end data collecting tools, has recently expanded with three new projects. Movesense sensors and Kaasa Data Collector app help the research teams to efficiently collect essential, accurate health and sports data from research subjects. One of the projects brings up the important topic […]
Dr. Laurent Mourot, lecturer and researcher at the University of Franche-Comté, France, recently won the ANTA Sports Award, a research proposal worth 20000€. The award was established by ANTA Sports, a sportswear group that is also the parent company of Suunto and Movesense, and handed out in association with the European College of Sport Science […]
Measuring performance is a common practice in able bodied sports, with all kinds of equipment for measuring intensity, speed, training load and so on. But wearables dedicated to wheelchair sports mobility performance measurement have been lacking. Based on his PhD dissertation Out of the lab, onto the court, Rienk van der Slikke searched for ways […]
Movesense Academic Program supports scientific research projects with top of the line data collecting tools for measuring movement and physiology. The program selects new projects on quarterly basis and equips them with Movesense sensors and Kaasa Data Collector app that is made available by our development partner Kaasa Solution GmbH. The corona epidemic has limited the […]
Movesense sensors can be used to monitor heart rate, ECG and movement of a person in field conditions. There are already projects where companies are using these features to detect arrhythmias, to evaluate physiological load and mental stress through heart rate variation, or to monitor chest movement and breathing. Movesense team wants to contribute to […]
ANTA is the parent company of Suunto and Movesense. For many years, ANTA has been principally engaged in the design, development, manufacturing, and marketing of sportswear to provide professional sporting goods to the mass market largely based in China. ANTA has grown to be one of the largest sportswear brands in China. In 2017 ANTA […]
Movesense Academic Program supports scientific research projects with top of the line data collecting tools for measuring movement and physiology. The program selects new projects on quarterly basis and equips them with Movesense sensors and Kaasa Data Collector mobile app. The program has been received with great enthusiasm in the academic world and the number […]
Movesense Academic Program equips research teams with sensor hardware and tools for efficiently measuring and collecting motion and physiology data. We started accepting applications in November and have now selected the first projects to be invited to the program. During 2020, we will continue growing the program by inviting up to three new projects per […]
