Bioinstrumentation is the use of instruments to measure, record, and transmit data on bodily functions, such as breathing rate or heart rate. In other words bioinstrumentation deals with the application of mathematical and engineering sciences to instrument development for biology and human physiology. It aims to improve understanding of physiological processes and the diagnosis and treatment of injury or disease. Bioinstrumentation development is a core component of AGS-Engineering activities. Novel sensors & actuators, devices and instruments continue to provide new physiological data and facilitate the derivation of model parameters in a variety of application areas. Excellent laboratory and workshop facilities are available to us with specialist equipment for electronic and mechanical prototyping. Our projects encompass instrumentation development, observation and experimentation, modelling and analysis, testing, reverse engineering, documentation.

 

Our bioinstrumentation specialists skills cover sensors, imaging, signal conditioning, motion control and analysis, telemetry, micro-fabrication, inductive power transfer and tissue preparations. Our team members have been actively involved in work including Medical Imaging Instrumentation, Biological Application Specific Integrated Circuits (BASICs), BioMEMS, Biologically-inspired Photonics, Optofluidic Electronics Technology, Biotransport, Genomics…etc.
