Overview
The Tanita AM180 Activity Monitor utilizes advanced 3-axis accelerometer technology to accurately measure daily activities. It features a USB connection for data transfer to a web-based dashboard or GMon Health Solution Software for analysis.

Advanced Technology
The device automatically detects and records low-intensity activities like walking and running in hourly segments. It has a memory capacity for 14 days of data and can store up to a year’s worth of data. The battery is replaceable and lasts for six months.

Data Analysis
The GMon MA Health Solution Software facilitates data collection and analysis, allowing client profiles to be downloaded directly to the AM180. Data can be transferred via USB for creating charts and reports. The AM180 data can be compared with BIA body composition measurements for comprehensive lifestyle impact analysis.

Practical Design
Research indicates that wearing the AM180 at chest level enhances accuracy, especially during fast-walking or jogging. It includes a neck strap and safety clip for ease of use.

Free Online Dashboard
Users can access their data through a free online dashboard at my.tanita.eu, allowing for remote data transfer and frequent collection.
