Remote Medical Monitoring On Your Wrist
Exmocare has just released the BT2 - a wireless wearable sensor device. Its dimensions are: 45mm x 40mm x 17mm. The BT2 primarily monitors heart rate and heart variability. Internal tests give the BT2 95% accuracy against clinical ECGs. Exmocare’s BT2 also monitors skin conductance, skin temperature, and relative movement. It can transmit this information via Bluetooth for more than 18 hours without needing to be recharged. If the BT2 is connected to a computer via a USB port, it can continuously transmit its readings. Exmocare’s BT2 takes one hour to be fully charged. The BT2 wearer can view his readings on his PC using the BT2 Control Panel. The Control Panel checks his physiological and emotional readings for dangerous situations and automatically alerts the website.
Exmocare provides powerful Evaluation Kit Software so users can see the BT2 in action. Doctors or researchers are able to view the BT2 gathered data in real time. The Emotional Interpretation Engine evaluates the data gathered from the BT2 sensors. It is then able to determine the BT2 wearer’s emotional state. Doctors are able to view this information from Exmocare’s Evaluation Kit website. You can monitor emotional and physiological data for patients from anywhere in the world. You are also able to send alerts and status updates directly to the website for transmittal to the BT2 wearer.
Exmocare’s BT2 is an excellent data gathering and monitoring device. The BT2 Control Panel allows you to save, graph and export the data you gain from a BT2. These detailed readings will improve your ability to care for patients.
Exmocare designed the BT2 to show off their patent-pending sensor technology. There are two evaluation packages. The Corporate Evaluation Package costs $15,000 and contains 5 BT2s, Bluetooth Adapters, USB Cables and documentation and the BT2 Evaluation Kit Software. The Standard Evaluation Package costs $5,000 and includes only 2 BT2s. All of other equipment is included in this package. Although the BT2 surpasses the earlier wireless BT1, the Exmocare Empath will be a full featured device that will be a boon for the medical profession. It is scheduled to be released early this year.
