Medical Devices

NIRSense is developing small, lightweight, personal medical devices for monitoring the delivery of oxygen to critical organs.

Designed for the Warfighter

Because NIRSense’s devices were developed to meet military specifications, they’re patient monitors unlike any other: flexible and rugged devices that can withstand intense conditions. Our oximetry monitors can be worn comfortably for long periods of time, even during strenuous activity. This design makes our devices uniquely suited for a range of civilian applications as well.

  • Waterproof
  • Shock-resistant
  • Long battery life
  • Wireless charging
  • Remote/wireless communication
  • Simple user interface
  • Small and lightweight
  • Effective in any light condition
  • Works on any skin tone

Transformed for Civilians

For decades, tissue oxygenation could only be measured accurately at the bedside. Large control boxes and long wires made NIRS a fixture in critical care units with the inability to travel or be used on the ambulatory patient. NIRSense’s revolutionary design and capability improvements empower healthcare professionals to monitor this crucial metric in all kinds of environments and circumstances:

  • Paramedics assessing patients in transport
  • ER staff conducting triage in waiting rooms
  • Pediatric clinicians working with small, active patients
  • Physical therapists working with patients in motion
  • Physicians who need to monitor patients remotely
