Progress

Our custom solution has <1hr
average
alarm time, a big improvement over other custom solutions

We seek out solutions that can improve upon exiting options in terms of speed and reliabiliy

Analyzing Motion

You move your wrist 1000s of times per day, and over 50 times at night. While other sensors like heart rate sensors may give false negative readings, motion sensors are accurate in detecting a problem

Continuous Improvement

We use a data-driven approach to improvements in usability, closely measuring error rates and other usability issues, to gain insight into where we can improve

Good Battery Life

Unfortunately, many common
sensor devices, such as the Apple Watch, have a battery life of less than 1 day

Our flagship solution has over 3 days of battery life.

We evaluate other solutions on the basis of average use-case battery life

Devices Evaluated

We've evaluated over 8 off-the-shelf sensor devices for suitability for the cryonics alarm monitoring.

Optimizing for Best, Worst and Average

The best, worst and average times for an alarm are all important. Cryonics Monitoring improves on the worst time by over 80%, coming in at only 2 hours.

See our 'Reviews' for important details about these comparisons, including comparison with Gene Shaver's Fitbit Sense implementation.

OUR TEAM

We work on contract to develop custom solutions for the unique needs of cryonics. We are leaders in this domain of biotech, with over 4 years experience in research and development of cryonics monitoring solutions.

We also provide expert reviews of other monitoring options, whether they be off-the-shelf or custom.

Our team members are experienced in their technical domains and have a longstanding interest in cryonics.

HISTORY

Pioneering A Systematic Effort Towards A Longstanding Unmet Need

Cryonics Monitoring was founded by Nikki Olson for the purpose of research and development of cryonics monitoring systems. Nikki started working on cryonics monitoring solutions in late 2020 and developed exploratory prototypes for consumer devices such as the Apple Watch, Fitbit, and Android Watches (WearOS).

Prototype and Web Presence

From September 2022 to May 2023, she developed a more complete monitoring system for the Fitbit Sense with software developer Philipp Bartels, who created the system's Web UI component. Philipp also contributed research on ballistocardiography (BCG) sensor technology and had editorial involvement in the publishing of the organization's research, review and media content.

Fitbit Sense Prototype

Custom Hardware Development

When the Fitbit Sense was discontinued in late spring 2023, the team shifted to develop a custom system tailored for cryonics monitoring. Nikki, Jordan, and Michael current work enthusiastically on developing a custom smart ring for cryonics.

Hardware Project

Mobile App Development (iOS and Android)

Nikki is a field expert in the challenges of mobile app development in the context of life monitoring. She has fully developed and maintained multiple life monitoring applications in the field, including with wearable integration. Our team continues to develop and maintain custom mobile and off-the-shelf solutions and are available for future hire.
