Optimize and adjust algorithms throughout R&D
Engineers can optimize and adjust algorithms based on real time data when physiological monitoring is conducted throughout R&D. While simulations provide a strong foundation for building algorithms, they cannot account for real-world interaction. Services are tailored to your needs and development stage, and consultative experts assist with data interpretation, helping you understand the variability in readings.
The Element advantage
Bring an optimal device to market quicker with industry-leading clinical validation services. Our consultative engineers, scientists, and clinicians act as an extension of your team, generating invaluable physiological and human factor data to inform product optimization. Successfully navigate complex regulations and discussions with regulatory bodies with Element by your side.
