MC10 has unveiled the BioStamp Research Connect System (BioStampRC), a wearable sensor that provides researchers with an end to end solution for gathering physiological data
MC10's BioStamp Research Connect System (BioStampRC)
The flexible, body-worn BioStampRC sensors enable study subjects to move through regular activities in clinical or remote settings, simultaneously reducing observation error and improving data capture according to MC10.
The BioStampRC system is the first fully-integrated solution that uses MC10’s proprietary BioStamp technology platform to deliver wearable sensors that flex, bend and stretch to match the properties of the human body.
MC10 said that combined with its cloud-based software system, the BioStampRC system allows researchers to securely share data with colleagues and collaborators in real time, across multiple research sites.
The BioStampRC product is an end-to-end system developed to enable researchers to gather the exact physiological data they need through a configurable, intuitive interface.
The system offers access to raw kinematic and surface biopotential data, study-centric tablet and web applications to easily integrate into the researcher workflow, digital subject reports and other contextual data to supplement sensor data in a single system and secure, organised data sets for easy management and download according to MC10.
The BioStampRC system has been in beta testing for several months with world-class institutions that specialize in the areas of motor skill rehabilitation, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiology and human performance MC10 said.
Paolo Bonato, director of the motion analysis laboratory at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, said: “We are very impressed with the results of the BioStampRC system tests that we have performed so far.
“The sensor is unobtrusive, very comfortable to wear and it reliably collects data for extensive periods. “
“The system appears to be an ideal platform for many of our clinical research projects.”
Scott Pomerantz, MC10’s president and chief executive officer, said: “MC10’s mission is to create digital healthcare products that can better our understanding of, and ultimately improve, human health. The BioStampRC system is a great example of this mission.”
