Company History
- Founded in 1978 by Dr. Marvin Sackner and Mr. William Gruen as the Respitrace Corporation, renamed Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc. in 1986 and began trading as a public company in 1989. NIMS has led the way in cutting-edge, non-invasive, computer assisted, hardware and software to detect abnormal respiratory and cardiac events during wakefulness and sleep (24/7) using sensors placed externally on the surface of the body. NIMS' flagship diagnostic product was Respitrace®, now the basis for LifeShirt™, a 24/7 ambulatory monitoring system.
- These diagnostic technologies were sold to VIASYS Healthcare (now part of Cardinal Health) and VivoMetrics®, allowing NIMS to focus on non-invasive therapeutic devices. Since 2003, NIMS has been developing and testing our next revolutionary product, the Exer-Rest®. Granted FDA approval in January 2009, the Exer-Rest® is a result of NIMS' market approach of coupling the global need for non-invasive, drug-free wellness solutions with accredited peer-reviewed scientific and clinical research.
