Using PAMSys™, clinicians, physical therapists and other health-care professionals can obtain information about their clients':
- posture (sitting, standing, walking, running, lying and the lying position),
- gait parameters (number of episodes of walking and the speed, duration and number of steps for each episode; correlation between gait speed and duration; steady state gait parameters; the intra-day variability of gait parameters; the average gait speed and total walking steps).
- postural transition parameters (number per day, its average duration, and its intra-day variability)
- Objective outcome evaluation of rehabilitation, treatments, prescribed drugs, and medical interventions
- Objective assessment of quality of life
- Pain management
- Weight management
- Assessment of risk of falling in older adults via home monitoring
- Diabetic foot ulcer management via controlling dosage of activity and activity organization
The figures below are two screen shots from PAMWare v1.2 showing a typical analysis of a person's daily physical activity using the PAMSys™ platform (about 49 hours continuous monitoring).
PAMSys™ has been developed in part through grant support by the National Institute on Aging (NIA). It is now being used in several clinical research studies on balance disorders, physical therapy, diabetes care, and elderly care. At this time, PAMSys™ is designed for research applications only.

The PAMSys™ motion sensor is portable, light-weight, and comfortable for the user. Its exceptional battery life (>200 hours) and memory capacity allow continuous collection of motion data for up to 8 days at a high frequency (50 Hz). The on-board sensor memory allows data collection for up to 80 days.
To enhance security of recording, the sensor is designed to minimize the amount of data lost from the on-board memory chip if the battery runs out or if the unit is suddenly shut off.

The PAMSys™ sensor can be integrated within the user's clothing in the following ways:
- Integrated within the customized PAMShirt™ offered by BioSensics;
- Integrated within the user's clothes through instructions provided in the PAMSys™ user manual.
This comfortable t-shirt has a unique design allowing the PAMSys™ sensor to be integrated within a waterproof compartment. The t-shirt does not hinder the user's movements and is available in different sizes as a part of the PAMSys™ technology. Each shirt is custom-tailored to assure maximum comfort for the user. In addition, customized solutions are available as a part of PAMSys-X™ technology.
BioSensics offers PAMSys-X™, a customized extension of the PAMSys™ platform for synchronized monitoring of ECG and/or the movements of multiple body segments during everyday life.
PAMSys-X™ has been developed in part through grant support by the National Institute on Aging (NIA). At this time, PAMSys-X™ is designed and intended for research applications only.
