Health Smart Technologies Inc, spun out of Indiana University, develops a medical device that can quantify the forces applied during manual therapy. The firm's primary solution, Quantifiable Soft Tissue Manipulation (QSTM), is a force-sensing instrument system that uses a metal pipe that transmits the applied forces to a 3D load cell which sends measured force signals to a microprocessor. The information computed by the microprocessor offers real-time monitoring and recording which enables the accurate measure of force, orientation, and angle of pressure of a patient's skin during soft-tissue manipulation treatment.
