QUASAR’S dry electrode technology offers benefits to any
application that requires easy donning, long term, at home, or ambulatory monitoring. With quick application and no skin abrasion or gels, our systems support patient compliance and reduce the need for medically trained technicians. Some of our potential applications are:
Neonates’ delicate skin can be damaged by standard electrode technology. Working with Children’s National Medical Center under NIH funding, QUASAR is developing a gentle, dry electrode EEG system designed specifically to meet the needs of neonates and the medical professionals caring for them. The miniaturized dry electrodes developed under this effort have broad utility for pediatric applications, as well as high-density adult EEG.
QUASAR technology powers Neurolutions’ IpsiHand stroke rehabilitation system. Electrodes sense a movement-impaired
patient’s intention to move their hand from a healthy part of their brain and the signal is transmitted to a splint-like device that moves the hand for the patient. This retrains the brain for hand movement and has demonstrated clinically significant improvement in patient mobility.
QUASAR has produced precision dry electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes that can work on subjects who are moving, sweating, wet or even underwater. Long term monitoring applications include
arrythmia detection and drug development.
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIR) is a non-invasive, light-based neuroimaging technique that measures brain activity by detecting changes in blood oxygenation levels, similar to fMRI. Although currently mostly a research modality, fNIR is attractive to medical professionals due to its non-invasive nature, portability, and accessibility. QUASAR is excited about the potential of fNIR, particularly when paired with EEG in integrated devices, or for imaging of infants and children.
