Neuranics, a magnetic sensor specialist startup and Universities of Glasgow + Edinburgh spinout, announced the company will launch a magnetic sensor development kit at CES 2024. The company also recently secured £1.9 million in pre-seed funding led by Par Equity.
The sensor, according to Neuranics, can record the heart’s magnetic activity and transfer the recorded data via Bluetooth to a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. The company’s patented tunnelling magnetic resistance (TMR) can also spot small magnetic signals in arm and body muscles to support health and fitness tracking.
Neuranics’ magnetocardiography (MCG) sensors have a single contact point on the body or through thin clothing. The firm says the MCG sensors could replace current three-lead ECG sensors used in sports fitness devices and medical monitoring devices. It claims the MCG signal offers greater resolution and clarity on the heart’s operation and can show movement of blood in the main heart valves.
The development kit includes:
Developers can experiment with the sensors and customizable software and app. Neuranics said the kit will become available to buy in early 2024, along with consultation and tech support.
CEO Noel McKenna said: “We are delighted to be launching the MCG development kit so quickly after our funding round. With our breakthrough technology sports, fitness and healthcare companies can develop new products based on the benefits of magnetic sensors. We look forward to welcoming attendees and fellow exhibitors for a live demonstration at our booth 60255 in Eureka Park at the Venetian Exhibition centre, CES 9th – 12th Jan 2024.”
