Python package to process wearable accelerometer data

Project description

actipy

A Python package to process accelerometer data.

Axivity3 and Axivity6 (.cwa), Actigraph (.gt3x), and GENEActiv (.bin) files are supported, as well as custom CSV files.

Axivity3 is the activity tracker watch used in the large-scale UK-Biobank accelerometer study.

Getting started

Prerequisite

  • Python 3.8 or greater

    $ python --version  # or python3 --version
    
  • Java 8 (1.8.0) or greater

    $ java -version
    

Install

$ pip install actipy

Usage

import actipy

data, info = actipy.read_device("sample.cwa.gz",  # or "sample.gt3x.gz" or "sample.bin.gz"
                                 lowpass_hz=20,
                                 calibrate_gravity=True,
                                 detect_nonwear=True,
                                 resample_hz=50)

Output:

Processing a custom CSV file

You can also use the routines in actipy.processing to process custom CSV files, or for more fine-grained control:

import actipy.processing as P

data, info_lowpass = P.lowpass(data, 100, 20)
data, info_calib = P.calibrate_gravity(data)
data, info_nonwear = P.detect_nonwear(data)
data, info_resample = P.resample(data, sample_rate)

See the documentation for more.

Processing from the command line

We also provide a command-line tool to process a device file (currently, only AX3 and AX6 are supported) and output to CSV:

$ read_cwa sample.cwa.gz -o outputs --lowpass-hz 20 --resample-hz 50 --calibrate-gravity --detect-nonwear

Outputs:

  • "outputs/sample/sample.csv.gz"
  • "outputs/sample/sample-Info.json"
