Consensys EMG Development Kits

The Shimmer3 Consensys EMG Development Kit can be utilized to monitor two channels of  (non-invasive) surface EMG, providing a representation of the muscle activity at the measurement site. The EMG Development Kit can also be utilized to monitor ECG (Electrocardiogram), recording the pathway of electrical impulses through the heart muscle. Combined with Shimmer’s integrated altimeter and 9DoF inertial sensor platform, greater context can be given to the wearer’s activity and condition in real-time. Note: EMG and ECG cannot be measured simultaneously from a single unit.

 

All signals can be measured simultaneously and in real-time. With our ConsensysPRO software data can be streamed for live visualization, while raw data can also be logged to an SD card and accessed. 

 

 

 

Kit Contents

All development kits come equipped with the necessary accessories (straps, leads, electrodes, etc.) you need for your development. For a complete breakdown of what each kit contains please see the specs tab below.

Consensys Software

Our Consensys software application is available in two versions, ConsensysPRO and ConsensysBASIC. ConsensysBASIC is free to all Shimmer users, while a single license for ConsensysPRO is available for €199. An annual license can be purchased from our e store here.

The features of ConsensyPRO and ConsensysBASIC are outlined below.

Both logging data to your Shimmer's SD card and streaming via Bluetooth are now supported by Consensys. Shimmer firmware is available open source on Github.

Functional Base

The Consensys hardware Base works with the Shimmer3 Kinematic and Biophysical sensors including ECG, EMG, Galvanic Skin Response, Optical Pulse and Heart Rate and which boast unrivaled performance levels and processing power. In developing the Consensys Hardware Base, we focused on adding value to your data collection process. The Base provides for the simultaneous management of all your Shimmer Sensors including charging, firmware updates, configuring sensors, retrieving and processing logged data.
