Tried-and-Tested Platform

Mitch has been used in a variety of clinical studies and scientific publications by world-leading research centers

Benefit From an

Open SW Architecture

Access raw sensor data and use the included SDK for interoperability with higher-level software

Use Cases

Mitch can measure acceleration, angular rates and magnetic fields. With the optional add-ons, it can also measure foot/hand pressure points, distance, proximity, light, heart and pulse oximetry.

Thanks to its automatic logging feature and low power consumption Mitch can be used to record data in the field for days on end.

This can be useful, for example, in wearable devices that perform 24/7 remote patient monitoring during Clinical Trials.

Add-ons

Don’t you get frustrated with bulky sensor systems? They are often heavy with lots of wires sticking out, making them too cumbersome to wear outside of the lab. To overcome this, we created Mitch as a modular hardware platform suitable for wearable IMU data logger applications. It is compatible with a variety of lightweight add-ons that expand its sensing capabilities while keeping it compact and affordable.

These add-ons are popular with healthcare professionals, trainers, makers, creatives, engineers, scientists and researchers looking to enhance Mitch beyond 9-axis IMU. If requirements change, you can always switch to another add-on or return to the basic inertial sensor configuration.
