Go Wireless with VitalSense!
Monitor your subjects without the nuisance of wires or probes that can get tangled, snagged, pulled at and pulled off. VitalSense wireless sensors free your subjects and provide a more convenient, reliable and satisfying solution. The VitalSense System includes wireless sensors, a small monitor, software and accessories. VitalSense is designed to be effective for monitoring temperature, in active or inactive subjects and in indoor and outdoor environments such as:
- Clinical trials
- Sports Medicine Research
- Exercise Physiology
- Military medicine/military training
- Pre- or post-operative outpatient monitoring
- Healthcare telemedicine
- Hazardous occupations
VitalSense monitors can receive transmissions from multiple miniature, wireless, temperature sensors. Core temperature is sensed by the ingestible capsule. Dermal temperatures are recorded from hypoallergenic, non-irritating, adhesive dermal patches.
Both sensor types are disposable, but designed for multi-day use under demanding physical and environmental conditions. Both types of sensors use low-power radio frequency transmissions to communicate with the Monitor.

Temperature Sensors
VitalSense offers two types of temperature monitoring - core body and skin temperature. The new technology employed by VitalSense disposable telemetric sensors provides accurate data that can be transmitted and logged continuously for up to 10 days. The unique ID of each sensor is automatically identified by the VitalSense monitor to avoid cross-talk among sensors on the same subject or in close proximity.
Core body temperature (CBT) is measured by an ingestible, biocompatible, and easy to swallow capsule that is disposable. Skin temperature is measured by a hypoallergenic and water-resistent dermal patch that is also disposable.
Ambient skin temperature is measured with the dermal patch that can be placed at many different locations on the body to record skin temperature
VitalSense-XHR Heart Rate & Respiration Sensor
The VitalSense-XHR sensor is an innovative, compact device that wirelessly transmits Heart Rate and Respiration Rate to the
VitalSense telemetric physiological monitoring system. This state-of-the-art sensor enables researchers to monitor heart rate
and respiratory rate on ambulatory subjects.
The XHR is a chest-worn wireless physiological monitor that incorporates an ECG-signal
processor. It attaches to two standard ECG pads or to a dry electrode band. The XHR senses heart rate and respiratory rate
and transmits the data in near real time to the
VitalSense monitor four times per minute. The monitor logs the data in nonvolatile memory.

Use with Other Devices
VitalSense functionality can be supplemented through the use of our Actical device. Caloric expenditure is calculated from movement recorded by the Actical device worn on the waist. Data from this device is transcribed to a format that allows both sets of data to be synchronized for an integrated analysis.
