A EU Framework 6 project securing valued at €26M, with 26 partners across 10 countries called Healthy Aims is nearing completion after four years.
The project has recently produced a video showing the scope and technical excellence of what has been achieved. These partners have developed a range of medical systems and implants to help the aging population and those with disabilities.
The project is funded under the IST Microsystem programme and combines experts from a wide range of disciplines. ETB are the Coordinator for the project, but they also have responsibility for the design of the activity monitor and are also technical design for the low cost disposable electronic catheter system.

ETB have launched the Pegasus-G, 3-axis accelerometer data logger. This is a unique sensor module is a small, light, self-contained and battery-powered 3-axis accelerometer which logs acceleration along three orthogonal axes. It is completely un-tethered giving unlimited range and freedom. Click here for more detailed information http://www.etb.co.uk/featurespg.html Pegasus-G units are currently in stock.

Validity of a novel accelerometer-GPS and stride characteristics of galloping Thoroughbreds: do they differ between constant and incremental speed exercise tests? The ETB Pegasus stride characteristic system was used in these trials.
ETB are proud to announce that they are continuing their sponsorship of Cleeve Stables racing yard.
April 2008
ETB have upgraded their Pegasus Stride Characteristic System to be completely stand alone. The analysis is now done on the supplied laptop, making it easier to look at results whilst you are doing trials and tests. All existing customers will get this major upgrade free of charge.
