SHIMMER is a hardware platform designed explicitly for wearable health sensing in both connected and wireless environments. SHIMMER is an acronym defined as Sensing Health with Intelligence, Modularity, Mobility, and Experimental Reusability. Realtime Technologies have licensed the SHIMMER remote monitoring platform from Intel. Under the agreement, Realtime will develop, manufacture and distribute SHIMMER. When combined with the BioMOBIUS Research Platform, the SHIMMER provides a significant opportunity to improve both patient care and quality of life.
