VitalSense offers two types of temperature monitoring - core body and skin temperature. The new technology employed by VitalSense disposable telemetric sensors provides accurate data that can be transmitted and logged continuously for up to 10 days. The unique ID of each sensor is automatically identified by the VitalSense monitor to avoid cross-talk among sensors on the same subject or in close proximity.

Core body temperature (CBT) is measured by an ingestible, biocompatible, and easy to swallow capsule that is disposable. Skin temperature is measured by a hypoallergenic and water-resistent dermal patch that is also disposable.

Dermal Patch Applications

This superior temperature measurement solution can assist investigative researchers in the measurement of peripheral temperature. When used in association with ingestible capsules and heart rate sensors, peripheral temperature may be compared with core body temperature, heart rate, and activity. Integration of these parameters is important for the evaluation and treatment of many indications.
