(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2011 ) Boca Raton, FL -- Physical disability is a significant national health problem. According to the US census bureau, 80 million people in the US are reported as having mobility difficulties. These difficulties stem from both physical and neurodegenerative bases.
ViTRAK’s proprietary and patented sensor floor technology, Stepscan™ has been designed to assess and monitor a variety of health conditions related to patient movement.
When the company first contemplated its monitoring system, it was aware of the demands by the USAÂ’s Federal Drug Administration for empirical data surrounding patient movement in a Clinical Trial involving new drugs for individuals suffering from AlzheimerÂ’s disease. The same demands are present for any new drug affecting the ambulatory condition of patients. This field remains of prime interest to the company, but it is not difficult to imagine many other medical applications.
The incorporation of a Stepscan™ floor in a hospital setting can be used to monitor a wide range of health conditions affecting the locomoter system, including pre- and post-operative analysis. Physiotherapists will gain exact insight into a patient’s movement, as opposed to relying solely on observation and other current practices. Veterinary sciences will be able to apply these same techniques to the care of animals.
Stepscan™ also addresses the global preoccupation with security, in rapidly detecting an individual engaged in prohibited activities. In combination with other forms of identification such a retinal scans, handprint, fingerprint, swipe cards and other RFID sensors, the Stepscan™ System will give a greater degree of certainty to today’s security systems. The company envisages use of its system in a multitude of situations including onboard aircraft and in high security facilities. You may be interested in knowing some of the commercial applications we envisage for the Stepscan™ System:
