Sensorize employs ultra compact low-power 3D accelerometers in all of its products. Such accelerometers are used to measure the 3D accelerations of the human body segment or object on which they are placed. By performing some integration on the accelerations measured, valuable information about velocity and displacement is obtained.
An accelerometer is a device for measuring acceleration and gravity induced reaction forces. Single- and multi-axis models are available to detect magnitude and direction of the acceleration as a vector quantity. Accelerometers can be used to sense inclination, vibration, and shock. They are increasingly present in portable electronic devices (source: Wikipedia). |

Sensorize employs 3D MEMS gyroscopes with vertically driven vibrating masses with all required electronics integrated onto a single chip with the sensor. Such sensors are mainly used to determine the orientation of the sensitive axes of the accelerometers so that such accelerations can be transformed into a global referenced frame.
A gyroscope is a device for measuring the rate of rotation (angular velocity) about a sensitive axis. The most popular design of gyroscopes is of the vibrating type. Vibrating gyros are based on the transfer of energy between two vibration modes of a structure caused by Coriolis acceleration. |

Sensorize employs bluetooth modules within all of its products. Such modules are used for communicating between the sensor devices and any processing support device such as personal computers and mobile phones. Bluetooth is a wireless protocol utilizing short-range communications technology facilitating data transmission over short distances from fixed and/or mobile devices, creating wireless personal area networks. Bluetooth uses radio technology. It chops up the data being sent and transmits chunks of it on up to 75 different frequencies (source: Wikipedia). |
