Which wearable truly fits your study? ⌚️💍 → Smart ring or smart band? → Left hand or right hand? → Does the manufacturer matter? → How does any wrist sensor compare to gold-standard ECG? These aren't small questions. They shape your entire dataset. 🧵👇
How reliable is mobile #brain training with BrainGoMo compared to clinical systems? In recent validation sessions, our mobile system closely matched clinical-grade devices — confirming that BrainGoMo delivers scientifically robust #neurofeedback, even outside the clinic. #Neurotechnology #Virgobit
🚀Spica lets researchers capture Parkinson’s task performance and wearable data at the same time. From finger tapping & tremor to balance and reaction time—plus #HR, #HRV, #activity, #sleep & more—Spica enables continuous, real-world PD monitoring and personalized rehab. #Parkinsons #Wearables
Struggling with patient engagement in your long-term study? 😩 Our new Patient Engagement Page on the #Spica platform is designed to boost adherence and ensure high-quality data. It transforms the patient experience and strengthens your research. #DigitalHealth #Research #Wearables #Healthcare

Our #Spica app is featured in #Nature’s npj Parkinson’s Disease. In a great collaboration with Charité, our platform was used to collect #EMA data, demonstrating how #aDBS can enhance real-world outcomes for people with #ParkinsonsDisease. A huge congrats to the authors and everyone involved!
🚀 Starting Jan 2025, Virgobit partners with Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin to launch a serverless mobile app for #dystonia research. It enables scheduled EMA questionnaires, video/audio recordings, and structured local storage with flexible settings (days, text size, 3 languages).
Sponsoring the #IBB retreat was the best 3rd birthday present @virgobit.bsky.social could have imagined! 🎂 Virgobit was born at the IBB institute in Münster three years ago. It means so much to be part of the IBB retreat, celebrating our journey and the strong partnerships we've built.
🚀Trinity Biotech br unveils CGM+, an AI-native wearable that goes beyond glucose monitoring. Multi-sensor data (glucose, heart, temperature, activity) + real-time AI insights enable personalized, predictive care for clinics & research. Launch mid-2026. #AI #WearableTech #DigitalHealth
From cells to wearables! 🔬🧠 An extraordinary collaboration with the Neurosurgery team at UKM. Started by recording action potentials using our mobile setup and have now advanced to using invasive ECoG data from patients during surgery.
🎉 Happy 3rd Birthday, Virgobit! 🚀 In 3 years, our 2 platforms, BrainGomo and Spica, have been adopted by 16 research & clinical organizations and supported by 9 leading wearable tech partners. Together, we’re advancing real-time health monitoring and digital health innovation worldwide.✨
Case study: Brain–Body Biofeedback Platform How can we capture the complexity of brain–body interaction during natural tasks? Together with @maastrichtu.bsky.social ,we developed a mobile system for synchronized EEG, ECG, voice & event markers — real-time, modular, and research-ready. #DigitalHealth
My journey with #Parkinsons and #DBS began during my PhD at #Düsseldorf. Witnessing DBS's impact firsthand, I saw the challenge of objective, personalized care. Now, at @virgobit.bsky.social, we're taking on that challenge! Proud to collaborate with #Charité and Düsseldorf on the #RETUNE project.
🚀 Virgobit & Univ. of Augsburg developed a mobile platform for synchronized ECG & motion data collection using Polar H10 + 4 Xsens IMUs — designed for real-world studies and gait analysis in movement disorders. 🔗 Visit case study page for details. #WearableTech #ECG #IMU #GaitParameters
Muse & Virgobit: Real-World EEG for Research & Neurofeedback 🧠📡 We are proud to integrate the Muse EEG headband into Spica and BrainGoMo. Used in real-world case studies like @trr393.bsky.social , Muse enables mobile EEG for multimodal data collection, and emotional-cognitive task research. #EEG
Brain Training Made Simple!🧠📱 BrainGoMo brings easy, effective brain training and neurofeedback—anytime, anywhere. Enjoy data-driven support under therapist supervision, integrate cognitive training into daily life, and let clinicians monitor your progress. Check out the animation! #BrainGoMo
The land of #wearables, @virgobit.bsky.social, is hiring 📢 📢 Passionate about #healthtech? Join our team as a Digital Health Solutions Consultant. Leverage your data science expertise to drive innovation. See comments for more details.
Finally, it's official 📢 🎉! @virgobit.bsky.social will receive funding from the BMBF (Germany) for a joint project with Münster University, Osnabrück University, and HAW-Hamburg. We’ll create a gamified platform to help children with anxiety using wearables. Stay tuned for updates!
Recording Multimodal Data During Daily Activities! This example showcases simultaneous ECG and movement data (accelerometer & gyroscope) from an ECG belt and wristband. We recorded data during cycling, rest, daily tasks, walking, and running. #Neuroscience #Neuroskyence #interoception #Spica
Remote multimodal data collection! Collect #EEG, #ECG, #EMG, #EGG, activity, motion, EDA, HRV, SpO2, Sleep, body temperature, and more with just a single smartphone! Stay tuned for challenges, updates, and sample datasets. #Neuroscience, #Neuroskyence, #interoception, #Spica
Mobile EEG for remote data collection and remote brain training! It was so much fun adding X.on EEG device (from Brain Products) to Virgobit smartphone-based Solutions! For adding this device, we used LSL to get real-time data into our smartphone solutions. #EEG #Neuroskyence #PsychSci #bodybrain
First smart ring samples arrived! Great gadget with huge potential for remote patient monitoring and data collection (Hr, HRV, sleep, activity, SpO2, ...). We'll integrate them into our #Spica platform for data quality testing. Will share results soon! #wearables #digitalhealth
