Task: Implement Monitor Independent Monitor Summary unit (MIMS) #127

Open frey-perez opened 1 month ago

frey-perez commented 1 month ago

Description

In response to reviewer feedback it's become clear that there is strong interest in acceleration metrics beyond the basic ENMO metric we currently report. One such metric of interest is Monitor-Independent Movement Summary (MIMS). MIMS units provide an open-source, universal metric for summarizing acceleration data across different devices, eliminating inconsistencies caused by device-specific factors. This standardization enables better cross-study comparisons and supports the integration of both research and consumer-grade devices. Furthermore MIMS has been shown to capture information just above the devices noise threshold, making it more sensitive to subtle movements (as compared to other metrics like Activity Counts).

Wristpy will add a function to the metrics module that will calculate MIMS. Adding MIMS to the Wristpy orchestrator module, and data output will be completed in a future pull request.
