PhysioHub

A health monitoring Swiss Army knife

Most research tools for collecting health data are expensive, inflexible, and a black box in terms of data processing. ExtHub attempts to buck these trends.

Winnemac created a platform able to sense a wide variety of physiological parameters like ECG, multi-wavelength photoplethysmography, ballistocardiography, skin temperature, and activity.

Multisite, multimodal

The base module hosts a Bluetooth Low-Energy capable microcontroller, battery management, options for user input and notification, and a wide variety of sensors.

The module can interface with any of a number of power-up modules. This flexibility allows the same device to be used in a variety of locations on the body and harvest targeted, complementary information from each site.

Embedded in our work is the strong belief that progress is enabled by access to the right tools. The PhysioHub ecosystem allows researchers to study physiological signals in contexts that weren’t previously possible.
