Health monitoring system features body-worn wireless sensors

One of Cambridge Wireless' longest standing founder members, Hidalgo, has launched its next generation range of mobile products that monitor human health. The Equivital EQ02 LifeMonitor incorporates a miniaturised body-worn sensor designed on a 'wear and forget' principle that senses, records, processes and transmits data from the human body.

Hidalgo has also launched its new eqView software for PC, web and mobile so the data can be viewed, analysed and acted upon in real time, and development kits to cater for their growing partner developer community.

The data that can be captured includes ECG, respiration rate, skin temperature and activity. Importantly, the data can be used to derive valuable, actionable information in real time from the device or on the application software.

"Measuring and modelling physiological information about the human body - its functions and its cause and effect behaviours - is vital to military, pharmaceutical and healthcare users," says Dr Ekta Sood from Hidalgo.

"The driving factor for use is the potential improvement in efficiency, safety, cost savings and available information. The benefits far outweigh the cost of acquisition for users and this is also driving significant partnerships with international companies wishing to leverage or add to the Equivital mobile human monitoring ecosystem."
