what is Amnivia?

what is the Pebble?

The pebble is an intelligent all-day monitor that mounts on footwear and uses a series of patentedmethods and intellectual property to accurately measure a person’s activity level and caloric burn.

The device utilizes an accelerometer to measure a person’s activity waveform signature and uses thissignature in a series of complex algorithms to accurately and verifiably determine distance travelled,calories burned, activity time and total steps.

It may be worn on waistband/belt, pocket or bra although it works best on your shoes.

Remember to wear your pebble as often as possible so that you can monitor and understand your level of activity.

Once you are up and running, consider yourself engaged then take it to the next level by becoming more active!

TOP TIP:To view your daily activity goal tap the pebble 5 times. This will activate the green LEDs in a clock style format the amount of lights lit indicates how far you are from hitting your daily target of 5000 steps.

Daily goals can be adjusted to calories, distance or time and you can also increase or decrease your number of steps when you log onto amnivia.

Amnivia is our modular online platform that helps empower individuals to take charge of their overall health and wellbeing.

Amnivia helps people see, share, and compare a “picture” of their health. This service gives you insight (data visualization) and motivation (challenges) to improve your health and overall wellbeing.

You can view graphs and charts of steps, activity time, distance and calories burned. The upload is automatic and effortless.

what is ActiLink?

The Actilink is a USB device that wirelessly receives the data from your pebble. Once setup and plugged into your computer this can be used on your home computer or if you are field based on your company laptop (Please note for company laptops you will need to log a case on Service now to get the software installed.)

When you register the ActiLink device on the Amnivia website you will be able to download a piece of software called actiHealth that enables it to work on your computer. For more on this and installing the actiHealth software see steps 4 and 5 of this guide.

The ActiLink will retrieve the data from your pebble when the two are in close proximity (within a few feet) and make it available for viewing on your Amnivia account.

‘Head to Head’Challenge

challenge ideas

activity

Your pebble device measures walking, running and other. Other includes any exercise that is not walking or running, including aerobics, cycling and any activities which you add to your metrics manually.

You are able to increase the default settings of any of the metrics measured by going to your front page, clicking on ‘change’ in the Daily Activity Goal box.

Some challenge ideas include:

• Going solo. Start out with a simple personal challenge all for yourself.

• Team oriented. Challenge another team within your organization and see who can be the most active.

• Find a friend. Challenge another individual to participate in a challenge. Sometimes all it takes to become more active is a little encouragement so don’t be shy!

frequently asked questions

“Why is my data not getting through to my account?”

• Make sure you have properly downloaded and installed the client software if using the ActiLink.

• Make sure that when you first get your pebble you walk at least 200 consecutive steps within an hour to activate it.

• Check to make sure your ActiLink is properly connected to your USB port.

• Ensure your pebble is properly registered.

• Check your internet connection

• If you run a security/firewall program, make sure you have granted AHClient.exe permission to run.

• Make sure your PC has not logged you out, gone into power saving mode or hibernation. The ActiLink needs a live internet connection to properly receive and transfer data.

“Why is my pebble not registering on a treadmill?”

Due to the ‘bounce’ on a treadmill, you cannot activate your pebble on a treadmill. In order to ensure your steps register when using a treadmill, you have to set it on a 3% incline with a minimum speed on 4km/hr.

Amnivia allows you to add activities such as swimming, or rowing on a rowing machine, to your metrics manually. On the metrics page, click ‘add activity’, fill in the boxes, click on ‘add activity’. This will then show on your metrics page. Please note, you need to fill in all the boxes as Amnivia is not able to automatically calculate distance or calories based on the amount of time or distance you have done.

Any activities added manually will not count towards the metrics on any challenges you are involved in unless that challenge allows manual entries to be inputted.

“My green LEDS have turned RED?”

When red lights appear, there is less than 2 weeks of battery remaining.

“How long should my pebble battery last?”

With normal activity the battery in the pebble should last 4-6 months. Employees will be responsible for replacing and changing the battery in their Pebble.

“How do I change the battery in my pebble?”

The battery is designed to be user-serviceable, so that you can change the battery yourself if you wish.

The battery type is a standard CR2032 Lithium battery.

To change the battery, simply twist the pebble to the unlock position as marked on the back. Once you lift the casing off, you will see the battery. Use a pen to pry out the battery. Once you have placed the new battery in the pebble, place the cover back on the unit and twist to the lock position. Your battery replacement is now complete! To check the pebble is working tap it 5 times.

“Will my data be lost when I replace the battery in my pebble?”

No, your data will be saved and available after changing the battery.
