1. Aim:
SoftTouch is a non-invasive device intending for use in the temporarily quantitative
measurement of peripheral blood biomarkers. The aim of the clinical trial is to study
the accuracy of the SoftTouch device compared with registered (FDA-approved) invasive
and non-invasive devices.
2. Hypothesis:
Human physiological biomarkers may be measured from the color distribution of the internal or
external (skin) tissue. The technology of the SoftTouch finger-mounted device is based on the
color distribution of the peripheral blood tissue, which enables the measurement of certain
biomarkers and vital signs under consideration.
