Continuous medical grade monitoring for real world multi-site trials
Embrace and Mate enables subjects to continuously record and send physiological information to the cloud. With Empatica's Research Portal, researchers can cost effectively conduct multi-site studies and analyze data remotely and securely.
Our products are trusted by the world’s most renowned pharmaceutical companies, hospitals and academics.
Sunovion Pharmaceuticals
Drug Efficacy Trial
Sunovion Pharmaceuticals utilized the Embrace for Research platform during their international multi-site phase-4 anti-epileptic drug trial. Empatica’s FDA-cleared seizure detection algorithm and the Mate app e-diary allowed them to continuously monitor patients, gaining an objective insight to patients’ seizure counts while remotely monitoring subject compliance throughout the study.
Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority
Flu Prevention Study
The US government’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) is working to develop a digital endpoint for detecting the earliest signs of the flu. Through the use of Embrace2 wearables and Empatica data analysis expertise, they are engaged in a prospective study monitoring healthy individuals throughout the flu season with the aim to develop an early detection system.
Harvard University
Mental Health Study
Harvard University Clinical Psychologist Dr. Matthew K. Nock is using Embrace for Research to detect digital phenotypes related to suicidal thoughts in a multi-site study involving hundreds of individuals wearing Embrace2. This is the largest-yet study about suicidal behavior also measuring skin conductance levels as an objective way to assess changes in physiological distress in the participants.
4YouandMe
Biofeedback
4YouandMe, a non-profit company founded by Dr. Stephen H. Friend has partnered with clinicians at Oxford University and Mount Sinai School of Medicine to conduct a multi-site prospective cohort study utilizing the Embrace to monitor signs of stress and symptoms of Crohn's disease. The aim of this project is to provide biofeedback to patients with Crohn’s to potentially prevent negative clinical changes in their condition.
MIT Media Lab
Zero Gravity Study
MIT Media Lab’s doctoral student, Kristina T. Johnson has embarked on a journey to measure autonomic changes in parabolic flyers. Parabolic flight planes are notorious for inducing high levels of nausea and by using Empatica’s technology and other biosignal measures, Kristy and her team was able to gain an objective insight to novice and veteran flyer’s physiological well being during these flights.
How does Embrace for
Research work?
Embrace2
Embrace2's sensors measure physiological parameters including electrodermal activity, motion, and skin temperature, which are continuously sent via Bluetooth® to the Mate App.
Mate
The Mate App automatically transfers the received Embrace data and diary entries to Empatica's cloud. A subset of the processed data are visualized in the app's 24-hours wheel.
Research Portal
Through the research portal you can manage your studies and access raw and processed data received from the subjects.
Multi-site studies
Build a research team and check the progress of multiple sites at a glance.
Team management
Each study or site created is isolate, you can fine tune access levels for each team member.
Easy set-up
By deploying a one-time-use QR code scan, we simplify subject enrollment while ensuring that there are no ID errors.
Optimal Research Platform
Review deployed device status, and monitor subject compliance in real time.
Potential savings per patient
Using Electronic Data Capture (EDC) can result in significant savings throughout all the phases of clinical trials. This graph illustrates an estimation of how much a pharmaceutical company can save per patient in each phase if using a solution like Embrace2 for Research.
