BIOPAC Facilitates Research by Releasing the BioNomadix(R) Smart Center: A Compact, Intuitive, Portable Research System

New wireless system helps researchers conduct studies and publish results faster


GOLETA, CA--(Marketwired - November 09, 2017) - In the world of physiology research, acquiring good quality data in physiology experiments is critical to research and results. Untethered, comfortable human subjects produce higher quality data that is reproducible and publishable.

The newly released BioNomadix® Smart Center allows physiology researchers to collect better-quality data in various locations without moving heavy or cumbersome equipment. The Smart Center collects up to nine signals of biometric data using wireless BioNomadix transmitters, a proven technology cited in hundreds of physiology research studies. The compact, wireless system produces high-quality signals. It includes AcqKnowledge® software for Smart Center, with a streamlined setup procedure that allows researchers to start collecting data within minutes.

Researchers can easily carry the entire lab to meet subjects in their natural or predetermined environments. Researchers can also use the Smart Center in their labs as it collects data for major life science signals: ECG, EEG, EMG, EOG, EGG, EDA, RSP, SKT, PPG, Cardiac Output (NICO), Accelerometry, Goniometry, Dynamometry, and Heel-Toe Strike. The Smart Center unit can fit in the palm of a hand -- the entire system is lightweight and measures ~34 cm (L) x 30 cm (W) x 8 cm (D) in the case.

A major component of the Smart Center system is the software -- AcqKnowledge for Smart Center includes the same powerful analysis technology in AcqKnowledge 5 with a new streamlined setup procedure. The Smart Center auto-configuration wizard automatically detects and pairs the pre-configured transmitters and provides signal-specific analysis options.

Researchers can access all the same analysis features in AcqKnowledge 5 and can customize their reporting and measurement tools. Smart Center eliminates complex setup procedures and makes it easier for researchers, technicians, and graduate students to collect great publishable data.

The BioNomadix Smart Center is available in two packages: Essentials and Enhanced. Smart Center Essentials includes the wireless Smart Center unit, AcqKnowledge for Smart Center software, two or three BioNomadix transmitters, and a carrying/storage case. Smart Center Enhanced includes everything in Essentials plus a BioNomadix Logger and BIOPAC's Basic Scripting License. Additional licenses are available for these features: Network Data Transfer (NDT), Remote Monitoring, Actigraphy, or FaceReader Integration.

"Life science researchers depend on technology for scientific discovery. The Smart Center was inspired by the need to have high-quality data in a wireless, portable format," said BIOPAC CEO Frazer Findlay. "This technical innovation by BIOPAC allows researchers to take their lab to their subjects or take their subjects to their lab -- it's a flexible system that offers the powerful functionality of most wired systems."
