Your Non-Invasive Solution for Proven Sm02 Monitoring
The Moxy Monitor is used by over 40 private and public universities, and research centers around the world to test muscle oxygenation by isolating the muscle layer. It features near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology and a patented algorithm that measures hemoglobin and myoglobin in the capillaries and muscle tissues with a wearable monitor. An ever-growing portfolio of published papers, proves Moxy Monitor’s accurate, flexible and cost-effective results. It has everything you need to expand your data gathering capacity and completed research to prove success quickly.
“Moxy does the heavy lifting in data collection. Many studies require technicians to run large expensive equipment such as ultrasound and MRI. Researchers can simply start the Moxy, start the study and start collecting the data.”
Carter Luck-Penn State
SmO2 & tHb Insights Delivered with Superior Accuracy
Moxy Monitor provides researchers and educators the ability to precisely assess a subject’s present performance and limitations. Using multiple NIRS sensors for research and educational purposes, researchers have come to discover that Moxy delivers real-time muscle oxygenation (SmO2) and hemoglobin index (tHb) information at research grade quality. In the lab, the Moxy can quickly adapt to other protocols and technologies. In the classroom, students are immediately engaged and find new creative ways to challenge their own thinking by applying the results!

Technical Information
- Moxy is a Continuous Wave NIRS system that uses light sources at 680, 720, 760, and 800 nm
- Moxy uses two send to receive spacings of 12.5 and 25 mm. This allows it to read the muscle oxygenation through about 12 mm of skin and fat.
- Moxy algorithm is the only algorithm based on a Monte Carlo model of epidermis, dermis, adipose and muscle. This allows it to measure SmO2 with useful accuracy on a scale of 0% to 100% and to maximize sensitivity to the muscle layer while minimizing sensitivity to the skin and fat.
- Moxy updates at 0.5 Hz in default mode or 2 Hz in high speed mode
- Battery life is 3 hours minimum
- 7 hours of data can be stored on each sensor
- Compatible with many training platforms
- Moxy data integrates with the COSMED K5 and the VO2 Master metabolic systems.
