BioMouse for everyone

NeuroLab Company announces that as a result of three years' work new device for monitoring of person's functional state intended for mass consumption — 'BioMouse' — was designed and patented.

October, 2007. NeuroLab Company presented its products during «China Sourcing Fair» in Hong-Kong. New home edition of the BioMouse device attracted attention of the visitors and participants. Over 120 visitors tested our product in action and 10 requests for samples were made during the four days of the exhibition. Representatives of biggest electronic distribution companies expressed their admiration with our product.

November, 2007. NeuroLab Company obtained patents for the new BioMouse device in Russia as "Computer manipulator of 'mouse' type for individual self-control of person's functional capabilities". The new device combines functions of a computer manipulator (computer mouse) with functions that allow monitoring state of health. This device is protected by the following patents: in Russia (No. 64701, priority reference No.006500069) and in People's Republic of China (No. ZL 200630130118.2). This device is now produced in series and is being adapted for mass production.

Product information

What is BioMouse?

This product is the first step to ‘home doctor’ ― compact, low-cost yet precise solution that can be used in every household with a personal computer for express estimation of person’s functional state. This device is modern technological solution that allows every household to use generally accepted methods that were developed for sport and space medicine and pre-shift checkup of power plants operators. These methods are based on analysis of heart rhythm variability (HRV analysis).

Using BioMouse one can easily detect his or her own state of functional capabilities ― an index that determines how well organism can adapt itself to changing environmental conditions, including working and recreation conditions, physical activity and psychological stresses, and so on.

BioMouse consists of hardware and specialized software. BioMouse hardware is a conventional PC mouse (see the picture) with built-in optical pulse sensor and processing channel. The optical sensor is conveniently located on the side surface of the mouse's case where the user’s thumb is usually placed. BioMouse software allows to perform primary processing of data acquired from the sensor, represent the data on PC screen in the form of photoplethysmogram in real time, detect the rhythm of heart contractions and to analyze heart rhythm variability.
