Medical Applications
▲ Blood pressure cuff with a QTC tension sensor.
Helps reduce inaccurate readings from improper cuff attachment. when the cuff is being applied to the patient or self applied, the device automatically indicates when the proper amount of tension in the cuff has been reached.
▲ Respiratory monitor.
Monitor/record the associated expansion and contraction of patient's or athlete's chest during respiration. QTC sensor replaces gas pressure sensor which requires glass inflator.
Could replace pneumographs tubes connected to lie detector.
▲ Bed occupancy sensor.
Provides an early warning that the patient has left their bed (e.g. when getting out of bed during the night) and not returned within a predetermined time period, indicating that they may have had a fall.
An emergency alarm can be automatically raised if the individual does not return to bed.
◄ QTC sensing in prosthetic socket.
Sense pressure applied by limb against prosthetic stump. Evaluate pressure areas for improved comfort in future socket castings.
◄ CPR chest compression monitor.
Compressions are measured and prompted to facilitate the effective cpr administration.
QTC detects chest compression force being applied to the chest and the frequency of compression.
◄ Physiology.
Measure hand grip strength for muscular fatigue studies.
◄ Pressure monitor in car seat for ergonomic or anthropometric data.
Active alert for seat belt or use in safety tests to detect impact of dummy on different points of car seat in accidents, improve cushioning for impacts.
