VU-AMS has become an important tool in the world of wearable stress monitoring. Developed at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the system allows researchers to measure autonomic nervous system activity in both laboratory and real-life environments. Researchers around the world use the technology to study stress, sleep, anxiety, depression, and cardiovascular activity.

The latest generation of the VU-AMS system combines ECG, impedance cardiography, electrodermal activity, and accelerometry in a compact wearable device. Together with the VU-DAMS analysis software, researchers can easily transform raw physiological data into meaningful insights. This combination of hardware and software has helped make ambulatory monitoring more accessible and reliable for research institutions worldwide.
