Data Sciences International Unveils DSI TruSense Physiologic Monitoring Platform


Data Sciences International or DSI announced the launch of its physiologic monitoring platform known as DSI TruSense.

Commenting on the new platform that offers major advancements for nonclinical physiologic studies R. Dustan Sarazan DVM, Ph.D., VP, strategic planning and chief scientific officer at DSI said in a release, “We are excited to offer our customers the first fully-digital telemetry platform for use in nonclinical physiologic studies.”

DSI specializes in offering complete systems for monitoring and collecting data including advanced telemetry implants and receivers along with data acquisition and analysis software. These systems use analog or digital technology to turn accurate data into useful information quickly and easily.

This optimizes data collection for pharmacological and toxicological studies. Large or small animals can be monitored with minimal stress, 24 hours a day for months at a time. This gives rise to data that is characterized by greater predictive value so that accurate and reliable measurement of the true effects of clinical intervention is possible.

DSI TruSense implantable telemetry can be integrated with DSI TruData Software that can create the first fully-digital telemetry system. This enables precise collection and analysis of large animal physiologic data, said officials.

TruSense Telemetry leverages the capabilities of wireless communications so that up to 16 animals can share a monitoring space. Also it features bi-directional communication between the TruSense implants and TruData software. Users will be able to send commands via TruData to the implants to start and stop sampling or to change configurations, explained officials.

TruData Software is an intuitive, powerful tool for the collection, synchronization, analysis and reporting of physiologic data from not only TruSense telemetry, but also many other physiologic sources. Many of the software’s powerful analysis algorithms were initially developed for DSI’s Ponemah software that assures researchers of continued proven performance.

Together DSI TruSense and DSI TruData will set the pace for next generation of physiologic research opportunities, said officials.
