At the end of the week, CleveMed will be releasing a new version of the KinetiSense Biokinetic Analysis System.

KinetiSense was originally released in 2007 and was made up of two parts: the Command Module and the Motion Sensor. The Motion Sensor housed 3 accelerometers and 3 gyroscopes that allowed the user to measure linear acceleration and angular velocity about the X, Y and Z axes. The Motion Sensor connected to the Command Module which contained a radio for wireless data transmission, a memory card, battery and EMG amplifiers.

The new KinetiSense system has all of the capabilities of the previous version with the addition of completely new software and the ability to connect up to 5 Motion Sensors to 1 Command Module. This provides the user with much greater flexibility and makes the system appropriate for numerous research applications. Multiple Motion Sensors can be placed on different areas of the body and the data from each is synchronized and displayed within the software.

The KinetiSense software features a new streamlined, user friendly application that allows the user to collect, save and manage data, as well as review and analyze. Data can be exported to third party packages for custom analysis. Also included is the CleveMed Software Development Kit, or SDK. This provides the ability to create custom front end software using the KinetiSense hardware, broadening the application possibilities.
