RESEARCH RING: LAB GRADE PHYSIOLOGICAL DATA ACQUISITION PLEASE NOTE: The Senstream Researcher Ring is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, monitor, or prevent medical conditions or illnesses. The app is designed to record physiological signal data, but not to make medical decisions. Multi-Sensor: Electrodermal activity (EDA, aka GSR), ECG, PPG, temperature and motion, captured from a single, user friendly device with long battery life. Electrodermal Data: Our initial product is the first ring form factor device that captures electrodermal activity with lab quality, enabling new types of research. ECG and/or Pulse: Capture electrocardiograph (ECG) and/or photoplethysmograph (PPG) data, depending on the specific needs of a study or application. Temperature and Motion: Capture temperature data from the finger, and contextualize physiological data with motion data captured by the Research Ring. Mobile and Cloud Apps: Start capturing data with just a ring and mobile app, which seamlessly connects to the cloud. BIOPAC integration offers powerful tools. Bold Vision: The Senstream roadmap, supported by a rich patent portfolio, leverages the convenience and unique physiology of the finger. Stay tuned!

trinamiX makes the invisible visible Informed and healthy life decisions are ones that everyone tries to make, but sometimes visible information is just not enough. trinamiX helps you to choose the right decisions through application of our Mobile Near Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy Solutions. Spectroscopy is a well-established industrial method that trinamiX now makes affordable and accessible beyond factory and laboratory applications. We combine powerful sensors and devices with in-depth understanding of molecules and sophisticated data analysis to provide you a customized solution for your specific use case. Hardware and app The trinamiX NIR spectrometer is a robust device using our own internally developed and manufactured PbS-based sensor. Thanks to this unique sensor, our hardware can detect signals in the NIR range up to 3 µm, which gives the opportunity to determine more information compared to other sensor technologies on the market. The spectrometer is extremely power-efficient, so that taking near-continuous measurements over more than one day without a recharge is now possible. In addition, the system works very fast (less than five seconds, including measurement) so that the user obtains actionable results quicker than any competing alternative product. For expediency and to allow for easy in-the-field results, the result will be displayed and documented in our app for both smartphones and tablets. For fast and easy sample name creation, our solution offers a QR- and barcode scanning mode so that the samples name is directly generated. This is one crucial element to prevent mistakes and ensure system-based product names. Beyond the advantage of having a solution at hand to ensure efficient documentation, all the data and results of measurement can be linked with other important product information – and everything can be linked into your internal system for broad usage. NIR spectroscopy is no longer limited to laboratories and experienced scientific staff – we make NIR spectroscopy as easy as reading a thermometer.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Senstream at 4.3 against trinamiX Spectroscopy's 4.0. Senstream also leads on ratings volume (3 vs 1). trinamiX Spectroscopy's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
