TG0 Touch Technology & Optical Myography Testing

In the rapidly evolving world of wearable technology, precision andnon-invasiveness are paramount. Optical Myography (OMG) is emerging as a ground-breaking method that promises to revolutionize how we monitor muscle activity. Wearable photonic systems for monitoring muscles unlike traditional methods like electromyography (EMG), OMG offers a non-invasive, accurate, and user-friendly alternative.

TG0Technology Used for Key Data Collection

TG0's eteeControllers were essential in this study, recording precise finger position data. Participants were instructed to move their finger(s) in concert with the metronome, tapping the VR controller with the specified finger on each beep,and fully extending the finger between beeps.

Thegoal was to accurately measure the reliability of OMG to detect muscle activityin relation to the trackable finger movement. Reviewing the figure on the left,it can be seen that the OMG sensor follows the movement captured by eteeControllers.

WhyTG0’s eteeControllers?

etee’sunique design and patented touch sensing technology offers researchers a novel method of tracking finger movement. Unencumbered by traditional sensing methods or static controls, users can freely and naturally move allowing for more accurate data collection.

Conclusion

Oneof the study’s key findings is the potential for OMG to be universally appliedacross various muscles and individuals. This versatility could be agame-changer in the development of wearable health technologies.  Without the use of TG0 technology, this research may not have come to such useful conclusions and continues to highlight the need for more non-invasive,intuitive tracking technologies for research and beyond.
