VivoMetrics' LifeShirt System provides clinicians and researchers a new way to obtain objective, comprehensive health data while their patients go about their everyday routines, ultimately improving research decisions and patient care. Showcasing an advanced, proprietary respiratory monitoring technology as well as other patient-monitoring sensors, the system's comfortable, washable LifeShirt collects and records continuous physiologic data while the wearer works, plays and sleeps. Data are then processed by VivoMetrics' powerful software and presented to customers in a practical, customizable, easy-to-interpret format. Using data from the LifeShirt System, clinicians and researchers gain a clear view of how various pulmonary, cardiac and physiologic parameters (EEG, EOG, periodic leg movement, core body temperature, skin temperature, end tidal CO2, and cough) correlate with one another over time, giving them a more thorough understanding of patients' health. Potential markets include the clinical trials arena, where accurate subject monitoring can greatly influence the cost and speed with which drugs and medical devices are brought to market.

Other applications for the LifeShirt System include home sleep diagnostics, as well as research into causes and treatment of behavioral health disorders, respiratory disorders and cardiovascular disease. With digital data transmission capabilities already in place and work to incorporate wireless and global positioning system (GPS) technologies in progress, the LifeShirt System should also appeal to world’s growing telemedicine movement.The LifeShirt System is available in adult and pediatric (ages 5-17) sizes and is used in clinical trials and research. It is available as a prescription medical device for about £200 plus £25 per day to actually monitor the output and is not sold directly to consumers. The LifeShirt System has received FDA clearance and EMEA approval (CE Mark).
