Elfi-Tech is happy to announce that a licensing agreement was signed in the framework of an Employee Safety Project for the Japanese construction industry between Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. a leading Japanese electronics manufacturer and Elfi-Tech. Elfi-Tech’s system shall be integrated to a protection helmet used by employees at construction sites transmitting real-time vital signs to mitigate employee safety and health risks.
Both parties are excited at the opportunity to utilize cutting-edge technologies to create safer working environments for the benefit of employees worldwide.

In an recently published article, mDLS was used to non-invasively monitor fitness levels, as it was used on three groups of subjects from 15- to 25 years of age, as they were tested prior to and after the performance of physical load. As a marker of cardiovascular fitness, we used the post-load decay rate of mDLS’ unique hemodynamic indexes (HI) and found their response to the physical load to provide a statistically significant correlation with the post-load heart rate decay. It was also found that post-occlusion increase of the arterial HI is more prominent in the group with higher physical activity. These results indicate that HI can be used as an additional marker for cardiovascular fitness level.

In an article recently published in the latest issue of SPIE journal, mDLS was used to non-invasively monitor stress levels, by using a new concept of oscillatory hemodynamic indexes. In addition, the article examines the capability of using this new stress index for the individual monitoring of the diurnal stress level, and it was demonstrated that this new marker provides good sensitivity and specificity to the stress response to sound and musical emotional arousal.

Excited to provide our forehead product to the US SOCOM (‘H92222-15-C-0074’) to monitor a set of unique vital signs during training. In addition to motion sensors, this device has a pulse-oximeter sensor for SPO2 and heart rate, in addition to mDLS, for our advanced hemodynamic parameters and blood flow.

Elfi-Tech is proud to present its Data-Logger – The first mDLS wearable device. The Data-Logger is the perfect testbed for the collection of physiological data and vital signs monitoring. The Data-Logger records from multiple sensors, such as PPG and mDLS, and allows maximum convenience and flexibility due to its battery capabilities, allowing 12 hours of nonstop recordings and up to 24 hours in certain settings. The Data-Logger is optimized as a wrist device, but due to mDLS’s unique features, can be utilized for other locations on the body as well.

As demonstrated in an article recently published in Surgical Innovation (Surgical Innovation, Dec. 2015 – please contact us for the article), the Elfi-Tech mDLS monitor can assess gastrointestinal anastomotic healing and predict leakage at the surgical site. By its ability to measure the microcirculation, the Elfi-Tech mDLS monitor can be used to measure the peripheral blood circulation in other surgical applications, such as plastic surgery skin flaps and in the assessment of blood flow in ischemic limbs before and after revascularization.
January 2015
Elfi-Tech is proud to participate in the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) showcasing its latest technology – Elfi-Tech’s advanced reference design PPG wrist device, measuring accurate heart rate in motion together with continuous HRV. Elfi-Tech also showcased its proprietary mDLS sensing platform that measures additional parameters such as skin blood flow, blood velocity, relative blood pressure, coagulation, vascular health and fitness assessment applications.
November 2014
Elfi-Tech to showcase its first publicly announced mDLS sensor module developed in partnership with Samsung’s digital health program. This sensor module is integrated in Simband, Samsung’s wearable open platform for digital health apps. The Elfi-Tech Module measures skin blood flow, blood velocity, coagulation, vascular health and fitness assessment applications in addition to standard heart rate and motion parameters, all of which are based on Elfi-Tech’s proprietary sensor – mDLS. The module also has Elfi-Tech’s motion resistance heart rate monitoring algorithms for PPG sensors.
