VitalSense®
monitors can receive transmissions from multiple miniature,
wireless, temperature sensors. Core temperature is sensed by the
ingestible Jonah™ 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.
Features of this innovative technology include:
|
|
- Temperature
& Optional Heart Rate/Respiration
Rate 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

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.

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.

Patch Applications
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.
