Sensors for Health Monitoring | Non-Wearable Health Devices – Cardi/o® by Advanced TeleSensors, Inc.

Sensing Life,
with No Contact

About Advanced Telesensors

We envision a world where people can access their physiology data without being attached to a foreign object, poked, prodded, or tracked unnecessarily. Sensing life with no contact is the first advancement into this “touchless” world.

We use this advancement in radar technology to sense vital signs naturally transmitted by the human body and convert them into measurable data: heart rate, respiratory rate, stress (heart rate variability), and motion. These vital signs tell a “personal story” of individual health.

Totally Touchless Cardi/o® by Advanced Telesensors delivers these “personal stories” in an easy and comfortable way regardless of age, lifestyle, or technical know-how. Anyone can just step into the Cardi/o® “zone” in their own home and know their stats; then step out when they’re done. No wires, no patches, nor trackers required.

Our Values

We strive to uphold comfort, privacy, and individual empowerment supported by data for a better future.
