Shimmer – Wearable Wireless Sensor Platform

Shimmer is a wireless sensor platform that allows you to capture and communicate a wide range of sensed data in real-time.

Shimmer is the main component (often referred to as the main-board) required to set up a wireless sensing application, and provides a range of functions including basic motion sensing, data capture, processing, and the wireless transmission of sensed data.

A full range of sensor modules (or daughter-cards) can then be connected to Shimmer, to allow for applications in complex motion sensing, vital signs and biophysical sensing, environmental and ambient sensing.
