The Growing Role of Technology in Scientific Research
VU – Ambulatory Monitoring Solutions
The gold standard in portable stress research
30 years of R&D now sit in the palm of your hand
Supporting researchers since the 90s
Our technology is backed by decades of in-house product development and refinement. The VU-AMS digital ecosystem allows you to measure with confidence inside and outside the lab and process your data with ease, while harnessing features such as remote phasic and event marker setting, live data visualisation, and individual beat, breath and step analysis.
With VU Ambulatory Monitoring Solutions, you not only contribute to a significant body of academic research aimed at demystifying stress but also push the boundaries of non-invasive research by exploring new environments and circumstances in which to study stress.

The VU-AMS Core: 4-in-1 system for easy data collection
The VU-AMS Core captures physiological activity and presents multiple parameters, including heart rate variability (HRV), pre-ejection period (PEP) and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), using only 5 electrodes, simplifying the data collection experience for both researchers and participants. Using the VU-AMS Core, the remote controller CoreControl, and data analysis software CoreLab, you can process your data as easily as you collect it.
Do you require something more specific? Speak with our team to discuss your requirements or desired parameters.
