MultiSenseTM Is No Longer Just A Goal


Over 750 MultiSenseTM Strips have been
manufactured and tested already, many
in clinical trials. RDS has also setup a
manufacturing operation with an Asian
subcontractor. Upon financing, it will
have the capacity to produce Strip in
lots of 10,000 a month, or more.
Initially, these are intended to supply
clinical trials at leading U.S. institutions
where IRB approvals have already been
granted or are being considered.
The Strips, designed for low
manufacturing cost, consist only of:
Three ECG Electrodes,
Photo-Diodes, Photo-Detectors, An
Accelerometer, A Thermo Sensor, and
commercial electronic components in
proprietary circuitry.

Induced PVCs In Pigs
Dr. Yasuaki Tanaka, M.D. (Study completed)
This was a study to develop an animal model of human
cardiomyopathy (CMPY) by inducing
premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) in pigs.
MultiSenseTM Strips, used on 10 pigs, allowed data
collections as long as two days. Other, more bulky
devices rubbed off the pigs in minutes.
This test highlights possible research applications in
animal studies of human disease.

Dr. Gregory Marcus, M.D (Study ongoing)
The results so far have provided positive feedback regarding
the quality of the data and the patients comfort and
acceptance. They have also highlighted the importance of
matching the third partys licensed, FDA-approved,
arrhythmia detection software to specific characteristics of
the MultiSenseTM electronics.

will be made possible by new financing

MultiSense Strips were used in this study on a total of 100


patients. Each patient wore the Strips three times during the
study for up to 7 days. It was a prime opportunity to collect
data on many people, and feedback about their experiences.
Data analysis is currently being done by PhysIQ, a significant
partner in RDS future plans. This study provided important
validation data, as to the practicality of the Strips, whose
applications were done by non-company personnel, based on
a short video and written instructions. Users response bodes
well for appeal of Strip in personal monitoring.

MultiSense Strip Cardiopulmonary Data During Sleep and Wake Cycles
(Study Approved starting date October/November 2015)

RDS is sponsoring a clinical study to evaluate


MultiSense for diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea.
Patients to undergo overnight sleep studies in a sleep lab
wearing MultiSense for up to seven days during a period
spanning before, during, and after an overnight
polysomnagraphy. MultiSense Data will be compared to
conventionally scored polysomnagraphic data, including
determination of Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) and
Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI) that are important
diagnostic criteria for sleep apnea. This is an important
validation study for the sleep diagnosis market.

MultiSense Strip Cardiopulmonary Data During Sleep and Wake Cycles
(Study Approved starting date contingent on Company financing)

The Stanford Center for Sleep Sciences and Medicine is


the birthplace of sleep medicine, and has driven
considerable growth in sleep research and treatment. Its
Director, Dr. Emmanuel Mignot, and his staff have tried
out MultiSense. Based on their review of RDS data,
they have proposed a partnership to develop
MultiSense as a diagnostic device for medical sleep
disorders, as well as a sleep research tool. RDS views
this as a key validation of its potential in the sleep
analysis market. The study is awaiting RDS funding.

Possible Uses of MultiSense Strips in Cancer Research
(with possible NIH funding)

Preliminary discussions with researchers there have


explored the use of MultiSense Strips in studies of
patients with head and neck cancers undergoing chemo
and radiation therapy. The object would be the continuous
monitoring of patients' vital signs to better understand the
body's response to cancer treatment, and develop new and
improved regimens. A researcher at that institution has
already worn a Strip. His extremely positive response and
the collected data have initiated the preparation of an NIH
grant application.

Collaboration With PhysIQ (http://www.physiq.com).
PhysIQs data analytics platform tracks and integrates
multiple vital signs to detect clinically meaningful changes
against an individual baseline. They are responsible for
MultiSenseTM data analyses in the Chopra Study mentioned
above, and in the USAID-sponsored Ebola Grand Challenge
Grant with the Scripps Institute (and RDS).
PhysIQ had previously developed their own set of biosensors
for their data analytics platform. Based on the data quality of
MultiSense they are no longer using these. This has led to
the Ebola Grand Challenge partnership, as well as to a joint
business development involving clinical studies aimed at
validating the monitoring of postdischarge patients.
