CleveMed specializes in the manufacture of wireless, subject-worn physiological monitoring equipment. Within the Division of Research and Education systems, a number of wireless data acquisition devices are offered for a variety of applications.

BioCapture is a research system that uses the BioRadio, a wireless data acquisition device for physiological monitoring. The BioRadio can measure any combination of signals such as ECG, EMG, EEG, EOG, respiration, SpO2 and more. Data is telemetered to a receiver connected to a nearby PC. The information is displayed through the software and data can be exported for analysis in third party applications, such as LabView, Matlab or Excel. The BioCapture system is suitable for a number biomedical research applications.

CleveLabs is a laboratory course system that uses the same data acquisition device as BioCapture, the BioRadio. The software is different, in that it is tailored toward students as a laboratory teaching system focusing on engineering, physiology and clinical applications. Biomedical engineering, physiology, electrical & computer engineering and other departments can benefit from this technology. The system is very flexible and can be used in biomedical engineering labs and classrooms, biomedical research applications, physiology labs and research, and more.

KinetiSense is a wireless data acquisition system that measures three dimensional motion using accelerometers and gyroscopes. Linear acceleration and angular velocity are measured from different portions of the body and data is transmitted to a received connected to a nearby PC. The software displays and stores the data and some analysis features are included. An export utility is also included for easy export for custom analysis applications using programs such as LabView, Matlab or Excel.

New, innovative, affordable teaching tools are required to train a new generation of researchers for high-tech 21st Century jobs; creating new drugs and technologies to cope with an aging population and understand neurological diseases and processes. CleveLabs^™, an innovative Neuroscience laboratory course with over 30 individual labs was developed to integrate wireless electrophysiology systems with a hands-on learning approach where the students can evaluate their own neurological signals.

Why you should consider CleveLabs:

• CleveLabs Laboratory Course System integrates innovative bioinstrumentation hardware and transducers with hands-on learning through interactive software that educates students on instrumentation, electrophysiology and clinical applications.
• Over 30 lab sessions are laid out in a concise, easy-to-follow format. Each lab includes background information, setup movies, data acquisition and real-time data analysis sections.
• CleveLabs allows Neuroscience programs to rapidly expand laboratories to accommodate larger incoming class sizes, with minimal staff training and without new facilities.
• A personal computer and the lab course kit are the only needed equipment, minimizing the requirements on the department. The compact, wireless system can turn any setting into a laboratory.
