Check out the latest Spectra tutorial video and Tool Foundry accelerator talk about democratising medical imaging. Read the full update.
Packed and Ready to Ship
We are ready to ship, and expect to freight goods from San Francisco to Crowd Supply headquarters in Portland, Oregon! Read the full update.
Production Update
Production is going well and all parts are in from boxes, packing slips, flexPCBs, electrode cables and more. We are just waiting for the main PCB fab to complete, then will move on to kitting and mailing out. In the meantime, here are some stories from our travels! Read the full update.
Building It
We are now onto building a batch of Spectra devices. I've recently been working on a test jig, that can both program the devices and determine if they are working correctly. Here it is! Read the full update.
A Big Thank You!

Test Jig, Future Work, and Nearing the Goal
We are so close to both meeting the campaign goal and the end of the campaign! So close! In the meantime, here are some details on the test jig and future development. Read the full update.
Cooked vs Uncooked Food
Let's see if Spectra can tell the difference between cooked and uncooked food! Read the full update.
Spectra Architecture Design
Spectra's architecture allows it to acquire very accurate measurements, a single measurement at a time. In this update, I'll go through the architecture design, the general flow of data and signals, and why I chose specific parts. Read the full update.
Time Series Data: Functional Changes of Material in the Body
What is the underlying impedance data signal that Spectra uses, anyway? It's pretty amazing and totally different from EEG and ECG. Read the full update.
Thursday Meetup Report
Here's a recap of last Thursday's Meetup and some thoughts that came out of it regarding improving our healthcare system. Read the full update.
Safety and the Path Towards Better Spatial Resolution
I've had a couple of question about safety as well as quite a few with questions about spatial resolution. Here I'll talk about IEC safety and some exciting work to obtain higher resolution. Read the full update.
Applications in Research
In this post, we describe some exciting applications that have arisen from research in both electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS). Read the full update.
Easy-to-use Software and Upcoming Talk and Workshop
We're giving a workshop next week, followed the week after by an online webinar. In the meantime, here are some details on the installer and dashboard for connecting to Spectra. Read the full update.
How does it work?
Details on electrical impedance tomography, how it works, and how it compares to other medical imaging techniques. Read the full update.
