Precision actigraphy
PAMSys™ is a clinical-grade wearable sensor for continuous remote monitoring of physical activity, sleep, posture, gait parameters, and falls.
The PAMSys sensor includes advanced algorithms to detect non-compliance of participants in wearing the sensor. The sensor has a very long battery life (up to 6 months) and large memory capacity to record both raw and analyzed data and can be worn as a pendant or on the wrist.
The PAMSys sensor is integrated into Sensor-integrated ePRO technology and BioDigit Cloud. The architecture of the system is fully flexible and allows modular deployment of system components (from using PAMSys sensors only for passive monitoring to full system deployment for real time data access).
BioSensics has a mid-stage development program to create a system for remote monitoring of instrumented activities of daily living and life space, and to explore the application of the system for continuous monitoring of cognitive decline in older adults with dementia.
