OVERVIEW

PhysioDetect is a product developed by DSI for use with its PhysioTel Digital platform. The PhysioDetect

application and associated hardware serve as a tool to aid in the use of the PhysioTel Digital telemetry data

acquisition system. PhysioDetect acts as an associated receiver and listens for communication from the PhysioTel

Digital (Digital)l implants. By doing this, PhysioDetect aims to answer certain questions regarding PhysioTel Digital

systems such as:

• Did the magnet swipe work correctly to turn the implant on?

• What frequency is the implant transmitting on?

• What is the estimated remaining battery life for the detected implants?

PhysioDetect supplies the user with information that is predominantly helpful in setting up new experiments that

are utilizing Digital telemetry devices. Additional features help to maintain an ongoing experiment. The goal for

PhysioDetect is to provide a portable solution to allow users to identify when Digital implants are turned on and

utilize the appropriate identifying information to streamline the data acquisition set up process.

PhysioDetect consists of three components:

• A customized electronic tablet

• A rugged case with an integrated receiver

• PhysioDetect IOS application
