The Product.

Our Verisense product offering includes three main components: the Verisense sensor, the Verisense Base Station, and the Verisense Cloud Platform, that all work together seamlessly. Additional sensors, such as ECG, EMG and bio-impedance, will be integrated into the Verisense offering in the near future.

 

The Verisense Sensors

The Verisense IMU is a general purpose Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that is used to collect activity and sleep data from the trial participant. Some of it’s advantages include:

  • No touch operation

  • No charging

  • Replaceable battery with up to six-month life

  • Impact resistant

  • Automatic data encryption and upload

  • Interchangeable wrist straps for flexible styling

The Verisense Pulse+ builds on the above capabilities and adds the ability to capture photoplethysmogram (PPG), which is used to output Heart Rate, and galvanic skin response (GSR).

 
 

The Verisense Base Station

The Verisense Base Station is an Android device with an in-built Verisense app. It is designed to be always-on in the home of the participant. It’s Bluetooth connection to the sensor is encrypted and pin protected.

  • Collects data whenever sensor is in range

  • Automatic data upload via cellular or WiFi

  • Alerts participant and web server to issues

  • Simple site setup

  • Designed to be placed and forgotten

  • Can sync with up to seven (7) sensors

 
 

The Verisense Cloud Platform

The Verisense Cloud Platform bring it all together. Designed by Shimmer, with different interfaces for the sponsor, the site and the clinicians, this cloud platform is scalable, customizable and can be fully integrated with your existing EHR (electronic health record) system. Some advantages include:

  • Monitors all sites at a glance

  • User can drill down to specific sensors

  • Can send messages to sites and directly to Base Stations as needed

  • Generates activity and sleep metrics from peer reviewed algorithms (GGIR)

 

The Service.

Service has always been a core element for the Shimmer business model, and with Verisense we feel it’s critical to the success of your wearable tech deployment. Our service offering ranges from initial training and set up to full software customization and data collection monitoring.

Currently, the Verisense Platform outputs data related to activity and sleep, and is typically worn on the wrist. It can, however, be adapted to generate additional metrics for numerous clinical research applications, such as gait and falls, Parkinson’s tremor classification, joint angle calculation, rehab exercises, and much more. This can be achieved through multiple sensors being worn on one participant, or using a broader range of algorithms to analyse the data, such as those that will be available in OWI (open wearables initiative). We provide a range of services to support you from the beginning of your trial, right through to its conclusion.

These include:

  • Training

  • Data integration

  • Algorithm development customization

  • Logistics - Data collection monitoring

  • Device location customization

In addition, the Verisense platform is adaptable and can be customized to meet your specific needs.
