What is Oralable?
Oralable is the name of the muscle activity monitor (MAM) developed by JAC Dental Solutions.
It is not a medical device.
How does it work?
Currently, muscle activity monitors use an EGM sensor.
The EMG sensor uses changes in current to show muscle activity.
The Oralable muscle activity monitor uses an PPG sensor.
The PPG sensor uses PPG IR light to measure changes in blood volume to show muscle activity.
The JAC DENTAL SOLUTIONS Oralable PPG MAM is analogous to the ANR Muscle Sense EMG MAM.
Use case
The example application given here is to use the Oralable and Muscle Sense to measure the muscle activity of the masseter muscle on the cheek.
Like the Muscle Sense, the Oralable is intended to be used by a researcher to recognize the muscle activity patterns.
