Brief History of SwRI
|
Biosensing plays an important role in
the advancement of patient care. Understanding a variety of
technology building blocks allows a development team to
create unique and sensitive sensors from the best-suited
technology for the application. Southwest Research Institute
(SwRI) can draw from a wide variety of specialists to
develop your sensor.

Applying sophisticated
digital signal processing techniques, SwRI
engineers developed a seismic heart rate monitor
for the U.S. Army. The device identifies a
heartbeat quickly, through multiple layers of
clothing. |

|
 |
This module-based handheld
device was developed as a platform for
environmental monitoring. The sensor module
shown here records wind speed, humidity,
temperature, radiation, and barometric pressure. |

 |
Through the SwRI Internal
Research Program, an interdisciplinary project
team developed an orthopaedic device that
incorporates sensors, electronics, and software
to measure the motion between adjacent
vertebrae. |
