Future Sensing Capabilities.
Our Verisense product offering includes three main components; the Verisense IMU sensor, the Verisense Base Station; and the Verisense Cloud Platform, that all work together seamlessly. Over the next few months, we will be integrating our full suite of academic sensors into the Verisense offering. If you would like to know about specific launch dates, please email us at info@verisense.net.
ECG
The Electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor records the pathway of electrical impulses through the heart muscle, and can be recorded on resting and ambulatory subjects, or during exercise to provide information on the heart’s response to physical exertion.
EMG
The Electromyogram (EMG) sensor is used to measure the electrical activity associated with muscle contractions, assess nerve conduction, muscle response in injured tissue, activation level, or can be used to analyze and measure the bio-mechanics of human movement. The EMG sensor is non-invasive (surface) EMG and therefore is a representation of the activity of the whole muscle.
GSR
The Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) sensor is used for measuring the conductance of skin. This changes when the sweat glands becoming more active, increasing moisture on the skin and allowing the current to flow more readily by changing the balance of positive and negative ions in the secreted fluid (increasing skin conductance).
PPG
The Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor is used to measure the blood volume changes in the capilaries of the skin through a green LED optical pulse.
Respiration
The respiration sensor will use the “impedance pneumography” detection method. During the inhalation/exhalation phases, this impedance increases/decreases respectively. The respiratory rate is determined through the correlation between respiratory depth and thoracic impedance change.
Bioimpedance
The bioimpedance sensor measures the opposition to the flow of an electrical current through the body. This can be used to assess body composition in a participant.
