Rockley Photonics announced that it completed its first free-living study focused on capturing live spectral data using the initial release of their API Developer Platform, Connect Edge mobile application and secure cloud. Rockley delivers an all-in-one sensor with novel short-wave infrared (SWIR) biomarkers being collected in real-time, along with device and accelerometer data. Used in tandem with Rockley's suite of Bioptx Band devices, including Bioptx??

Cardio, the Rockley Connect mobile application allows for the continuous transfer of wearable sensor data to Rockley's secure cloud environment. The Developer Platform provides access to live data to those engaged in commercial activities and research with Rockley. The Rockley Connect Edge app and cloud services captured high-resolution SWIR spectral data, LED-based photoplethysmography (PPG) and acceleration, via data streams spanning more than 80% of subjects' daily life (including sleep).

Simultaneously, spectral biomarkers were calculated in Rockley's secure cloud environment; Both raw and processed data were delivered to researchers via web apps and APIs within minutes of capture. Information captured from the Bioptx?? band using the Connect Edge mobile application included heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, blood oxygen saturation, body temperature, and hydration status.

The band was continuously connected to the app while the subjects were free to carry out normal activities of daily living during data collection, moving through a variety of wireless connectivity conditions.
