What is another word for actigraph?
Pronunciation: [ˈaktɪɡɹˌaf] (IPA) 
Actigraph is a device that is widely used in research studies to measure activity levels, sleep patterns, and other physiological parameters. However, there are many synonymous terms used for this instrument, including accelerometer, pedometer, motion sensor, activity monitor, and movement recorder. These terms are often used interchangeably to describe similar devices that measure physical activity and movement. Some actigraphs may be specialized to record specific parameters like heart rate variability or skin conductance, while others may provide more comprehensive data on overall physical activity levels. Despite the variety of terms used to describe these instruments, the basic function and purpose of an actigraph remains the same- to track and monitor activity levels in research settings.
