Zephyr BioHarness™

BioHarness is a state-of-the-art lightweight portable biological data logger and telemetry system. It monitors, analyzes and records a variety of physiological parameters. The system operates in RF (Radio Frequency) transmitting mode for live viewing of data or data logging mode. It offers a vital advantage to users in a diverse range of sectors, including academic and research, sports, defense, health and wellness and first responder.

Bioharness System

Zephyr BioharnessBioHarness™ integrates patented Smart Fabric sensor technology into a garment that is comfortable and unobtrusive. It captures comprehensive physiological data on the wearer, eliminating the need for multiple devices. The robust BioHarness™ enables genuine real world monitoring of human performance and condition – giving you a vital advantage.

BioHarness™ applications

BioHarness™ has applications in any field requiring high-level wireless physiological monitoring, including research, training and real-time response situations.

BioHarness™ advantage

Bioharness Radio DongleBioHarness™ can be worn in virtually any environment, from combat situations to the sports field. It maintains performance under extreme activity. Offering fast, accurate collection and analysis of high-quality, in-depth data, BioHarness is the definitive product for physiological monitoring out in the field.

Sports

BioHarness™ offers a critical advantage in boosting performance and preventing injury by measuring improvements in technique and response – both over time and in real time. Remote and group monitoring capability offers greater training options. Ideal for sports such as biathlon, etc.

Health and wellness

Bioharness moduleBioHarness™ enables enhanced preventative care, enables effective tracking of rehabilitation success and provides accurate, quality data for in-patient and ambulatory patient status monitoring.
