When investigating applications for biosensors—particularly electrocardiograms—you’ll eventually come across two very common abbreviations: ECG and EKG. If you’re not familiar with these abbreviations, it can be tricky to determine which is which. However, once you know the difference between an ECG and an EKG, you’ll be well on your way to discovering what makes them increasingly valuable tools… Read More»

Merriam-Webster defines an algorithm as a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or accomplishing some end. Algorithms can be developed for any process—from how to make your morning coffee to something as odd as establishing a friendship (diagram). In the biosensor world, you will hear phrases like EEG algorithms. What are EEG algorithms and what… Read More»

In our previous blog, we introduced the idea of EEG frequency bands, which can basically be described as a fixed range of wave frequencies and amplitudes over a time scale. These bands are components of the overall EEG waveform captured at an electrode. Scientists use mathematical models such as Fast Fourier Transforms to extract the… Read More»

Mobile and wearable devices have quickly become essential tools for consumers interested in tracking their health and fitness. As this technology becomes more accessible, manufactures will need to find ways to stand out in an increasingly crowded marketplace. As such, it’s critical to consider the different options available for biosensor technology that can enable wearable… Read More»

App stores such as iTunes and Google Play have completely revolutionized the way people consume information. There was a time, not long ago, when just about everything in an app store had a cost associated with it, but this is no longer the case. Now, consumers can enter an app store and download millions of… Read More»

ECG technology has been used by doctors for years to gather vital information on the health of their patients. In the past, this technology had to be used in controlled environments(e.g. in the Doctor’s office, Clinic or Hospital)  in order to obtain the best results, and while nothing will ever replace the advice and information… Read More»

EEG (electroencephalogram) technology offers incredible insight on the human brain. While this technology is complex, it’s important to understand just how it works. In this post, we’re going to shed some light on what exactly EEG technology is and how it works. Along the way, we’ll also introduce a few important terms to remember. In… Read More»

Technology is making it easier than ever for devices manufacturers to create solutions that enable consumers to better manage their health. Information that once took appointments with specialists in controlled environments can now be obtained nearly anywhere through wearable technology and other mobile devices equipped with ECG biosensors. Specifically, consumers are trending heavily toward devices… Read More»

As our lives become busier and busier, stress will continue to play an increased role in our day-to-day routines. Stress can have an impact both physically and mentally, and while a little stress can be healthy (after all, it is the body indicating that some sort of action has to be taken), prolonged levels of… Read More»

Prolonged periods of stress are well known for having negative impacts on individuals, as well as those around them. One thing we know for certain is that stress doesn’t “just happen”; rather, it is a non-specific response to a demand for change from the body or mind. This is why the ability to track stress… Read More»
