Software and Analysis

VitalSense Monitor

  • Temperature measurements (other vital signs sensor options under development)
  • Disposable, telemetric sensors
  • Continuous data logging
  • Accuracy in extreme conditions
  • Accommodation of up to 10 sensors
  • Flexible technical design
  • Design for research, clinical and ambulatory applications

 

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

 

Recorded 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.
