NIRS in Your Pocket

The Artinis mobile app brings fNIRS data acquisition to smartphones and tablets, available free of charge on Android and iOS. Using a Bluetooth connection, it enables convenient mobile recordings of NIRS data in any setting — in the lab, in the field, or in clinical environments.

The app records relative concentration changes in oxygenated haemoglobin (O₂Hb) and deoxygenated haemoglobin (HHb), as well as the absolute Tissue Saturation Index (TSI). Events can be inserted during a measurement to mark key experimental time points. After recording, data can be viewed directly in the app and exported to OxySoft version 4.2 and higher, or as a .csv file for flexible downstream processing.

Compatible with PortaLite MKII

The Artinis app is compatible with the PortaLite MKII, enabling measurements of both brain and muscle tissue oxygenation. Up to 4 sensors can be recorded simultaneously, allowing measurements from multiple regions or multiple subjects in parallel.
