Jonah Ingestible Capsule
- Continuous, 24/7, Unobtrusive Patient Monitoring
- Track Core, Dermal
Surface and Ambient Temperatures in any instance where quantifiable
analysis of temperature is desirable
- Clinical Trials - Continuous, Ambulatory
Acquisition of Critical Endpoint Data
Dermal Patch
This superior temperature measurement solution can assist investigative
researchers in the measurement of peripheral temperature. When used
in association with ingestible capsules and heart rate sensors, peripheral
temperature may be compared with core body temperature, heart rate,
and activity. Integration of these parameters is important for the
evaluation and treatment of many indications.
Software and Analysis
The VitalSense application program is simple-to-use software utility
that communicates with the VitalSense Monitor via an RS-232 cable.
With this link, a variety of functions can be accomplished:
- Setup of the VitalSense Monitor
- Setup and initialization of the sensors
- Real-time temperature data
monitoring
- Retrieval of recorded data from the VitalSense Monitor

Data Analysis Example
The VitalSense application program automatically extracts your data
to an Excel
file type for easy graphing and analysis. It can also be combined with
other data, for a more complete analysis of your subjects.

Real-time Temperature Monitoring
Along with real-time monitoring of temperature data using the VitalSense
Monitor, you can also monitor it on your PC. Just connect the Monitor
to the PC and click the "Real-Time" button on the application
program's front display.
