To improve device tracking and streamline data logging across all research sites, we have updated our product nomenclature. This guide breaks down the components of a Gabi system, clarifies the deprecated codes, and provides best practices for identifying your equipment.
1. Product Component Overview
A complete Gabi Kit consists of four key elements:
Gabi Sensor: The white square pod placed directly on the child (the primary data collection device).
Gabi Band: The textile strap used to attach the sensor to the child.
Gabi Tablet: The hardware device hosting the user interface.
Gabi App: The application pre-installed on the tablet to record and sync data.
2. Legacy vs. New Nomenclature
Under the former system, the prefix GK- was used to designate both the full kit and the tablet itself. This caused confusion during logging. The GK- designation (and former sensor tag GBB-) has been officially discontinued.
| Component | Legacy Code | New Serial Number Format | |
| Complete Kit | GK-xxxx | GS-xx | |
| Gabi Sensor | GBB-xx | GB-xx | |
| Gabi Tablet | GK-xxxx | TB-yyy |
3. Best Practices for LORIS & Log Form Entry
When logging equipment in your setup forms (such as LORIS):
Recommended Option (Sensor-First): Enter the
GB-xxID (the Gabi Sensor's serial number). Because the sensor directly captures physiological data, trackingGB-xxensures absolute accuracy and eliminates mismatches if a tablet ever needs replacing.Alternative Option (Kit-First): You may enter
GS-xxto reference the entire kit. If you useGS-xx, your site is responsible for maintaining strict internal pairing, ensuring the specificGB-xxsensor is always paired with its designatedGS-xxset.
Note: The tablet serial number (TB-yyy) serves hardware support functions and does not impact physiological data tracking.
