SoHo™ Implantable Telemetry

Changing the Game in Preclinical Research

Seeing the challenges researchers faced with traditional research methods, DSI’s founders introduced the industry disrupting PhysioTel Implantable Telemetry forty years ago, forever changing the way physiologic monitoring is conducted in preclinical research.

We continue this legacy by providing high quality research solutions, innovating to meet the changing needs of researchers, and pushing the bounds of what’s possible.

We are excited to introduce the new evolution of implantable telemetry, SoHo™!

Dive Deeper

EEG + EMG: Analyze Neurological and Cognitive Conditions

• Real-time brain activity monitoring in longitudinal studies with the same subject, allowing for quantification of behavioral and physiological change over time.
• Diagnosis of neurological disorders, including epilepsy, sleep, and brain tumors.
• Cognitive and behavioral studies, including attention, memory, and decision-making.
• Emotional and stress responses for mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression

ECG: Evaluate Cardiovascular Function

• Monitoring heart rate and rhythm to detect arrhythmia, ischemia, and other cardiac conditions.
• Analyzing variations in heart rate variability (HRV) to assess autonomic nervous system function and its impact on cardiovascular health.
• Heart rate and ECG are used as biomarkers of ischemia and myocardial infarction (MI).

Core Body Temperature + Locomotor Activity: Assess Thermoregulation and Changes in Activity Levels

• Critical to circadian rhythm and infectious disease studies including onset and trigger to treat.
• Confidently acquire real-time data from challenging Biological Safety Level (BSL) environments with a miniature hardware footprint.
• Accurate temperature measures over a wide range for hibernation studies.
• Precise movement detection via 3 axis accelerometer environments with a miniature hardware footprint.

Combined Applications

• Integrate with behavioral and metabolic equipment to study the connection between physiological and behavioral responses in various disease models; valuable for research in areas such as sleep, stress, anxiety, learning, memory, social interaction, drug effects, pain, neurological disorders, and exercise.
• Add telemetry to respiratory solutions to investigate the link between cardiovascular or neurological function and respiratory function in studies on cardiovascular interactions, sleep apnea, neural control of breathing, and stress or anxiety.
