AUSTIN, Texas, July 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Biostrap USA LLC, ("Biostrap") an industry leader in providing scalable and customizable biosensor-based precision health monitoring solutions, announced today the launch of their new wearable device, Biostrap Kairos. Accompanied by the new Vital Science app, Biostrap introduces a revolutionary data visualization of the autonomic nervous system, offering an unprecedented quantification of the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches from a wrist-worn device. Such measurements previously were only available to researchers while using uncomfortable electrocardiogram chest straps.

Key Points: 
  • "We are thrilled to launch Kairos and our new Spot Check feature," Sameer Sontakey, Biostrap CEO and co-founder said.
  • It is a wrist-worn device but has a modular design allowing it to also be positioned on the forearm or bicep.
  • Kairos underwent extensive testing by key thought leaders in heart rate variability research before its official launch.
  • This is yet another demonstration that PPG can be used to estimate HRV and that pulse rate variability (i.e.

Count the number of fingers…

Key Points: 
  • Count the number of fingers…
    The hand has a robotic “sixth finger” which we developed with our collaborator, Prof Yoichi Miyawaki of the University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo.
  • In fact, we can pinpoint, with an algorithm, muscle activity in the forearm which doesn’t contribute to normal finger movement, and use this signal to control the robot finger.
  • The user can move around this extra digit with a minimum of training - for many people within less than an hour.
  • More specifically, we’ve asked participants to touch a drawn line with their own little finger, without looking at their fingers.
