SRICO has developed a revolutionary approach to physiological status monitoring using state-of-the-art optical chip technology. The company's patent pending Photrode TM is a photonic electrode that uses unique optical voltage sensing technology to measure and monitor electrophysiological parameters. The optical-based monitoring system enables dry-contact measurements of EEG and ECG signals that require no surface preparation or conductive gel and non-contact measurements of ECG signals through the clothing. The Photrode TM applies high performance optical integrated circuit technology that has been successfully implemented in military & commercial aerospace, missile, and communications applications for sensing and signal transmission. SRICO's award winning Photrode TM represents a new paradigm for the measurement of biopotentials in a reliable, convenient, and non-intrusive manner. Photrode TM technology has significant applications on the battlefield for rapid triage to determine the brain dead from those with viable brain function. An ECG may be obtained over the clothing without any direct skin contact. Such applications would enable the combat medic to receive timely medical information and to make important decisions regarding identification, location, triage priority and treatment of casualties. Other applications for the Photrode TM include anesthesia awareness monitoring, sleep medicine, mobile medical monitoring for space flight, emergency patient care, functional magnetic resonance imaging, various biopotential signal acquisition (EMG, EOG), and routine neuro and cardio diagnostics.
