Awarded biometric sensor technology
In 2023, MedTech Breakthrough crowned mSafety as the “Best Biometric Sensor Solution” of the year. Our innovation with biometric sensor technology is found in the mSafety Digital Biomarker Solution – which makes it easy to monitor patients remotely in clinical trials.
A global competition
When mSafety won the award for “Best Biometric Sensor Solution” at the MedTech Breakthrough Awards in 2023, it was no small feat. 80 innovative companies from around the world competed in the category. As an independent market intelligence organisation, MedTech Breakthrough recognises top platforms, people and products in the global digital health and medical technology industries through a series of awards. “Best Biometric Sensor Solution” is their award for contestants that have demonstrated innovation in the digital health and medical technology .
Technological innovation at our core
mSafety stood out among the crowd of innovative sensor solutions. Powered by Sony's trademark technology, mSafety helps companies tap into the full power of remote health monitoring, and overcome common hurdles. The accessible, reliable wearables are simple for end users, and the sensor data is easy to handle for service providers. This innovative sensor-based solution to remote monitoring is demonstrated by the mSafety Digital Biomarker Solution for clinical trials.
Applying mSafety to clinical trials
Decentralised clinical research can benefit from the collection of clinical measures outside the clinic. With the mSafety Digital Biomarker Solution, clinical researchers can easily do this. The solution enables remote collection of both digital biomarkers – through a PPG, accelerometer and gyroscope – as well as electronic patient-recorded outcomes, all the while boosting participant adherence and improving the participant experience.
MedTech Breakthrough commented on this solution as a great example of biometric sensor innovation:
We are impressed with mSafety and the ready-made mSafety application called the Digital Biomarker Solution. mSafety from Sony makes it easy for a business to turn their vision of a wearable service into reality. And the Digital Biomarker Solution is no exception. Remote trials and raw health data can unlock new levels of insight for clinical trials, but both strategies have previously been difficult from a technological perspective. Sony tackles these complexities head-on.
