Monitoring the testsubject

Being able to effectively monitor the testsubject is crucial to determine its condition at a given moment in order to administrate the best treatment with correct stimulation dosage. While many physiological parameters can be monitored, it remains complex to determine the current condition of the testsubject such as the sleep phase or pleasure and pain levels. To ensure the best possible experience from an experimenter and testsubject perspective, we strive to provide as many relevant physiological parameters to monitor and we will keep enhancing the system to include additional parameters to be monitored over time.

Testsubject Monitoring Parameters

The current system allows to monitor the below parameters:

  • Heart beat frequency in beats per minutes

  • SPO2 level in % (oxygen in blood)

  • Anal contractions

  • Video and audio feedback

Considered future enhancements:

  • Urine output monitoring

  • Move monitoring

  • Brain activity monitoring

  • Respiratory Rate monitoring (RR)

  • Body Temperature

Heartbeat frequency

Heart beat frequency monitoring also referenced as pulse (bpm) provides the number of heart beats per minutes of the testsubject.

Anal pressure monitoring

A study conducted on 23 healthy women has shown that 8–13 Hz Fluctuations in Rectal Pressure Are an Objective Marker of Clitorally-Induced Orgasm in Women. While our system is currently unable to monitor such relatively fast fluctuations, the monitoring of slower variations in rectal pressure allows to potentially identify the patterns of an orgasm with less accuracy however. See the illustration below illustrating various typical patterns from a given female subject:

On the right hand-side, the increased activity of the Power spectral density (fast fluctuations of the rectal pressure) in the range of 8 to 13Hz is a good indication of the presence of an orgasm. (we can not monitor this parameter at the moment)

On the left hand-side, the slow variations of rectal pressure shows that stronger contractions spaced by 8-12 seconds is a good indicator of an orgasm.
