Question 2:
The values for the eSense Skin Response are very small (below 1.0 µS). What can I do
to improve the quality of measurement?
If you have dry or calloused hands, it is a good idea to use skin lotion before using the eSense. If you
do this, make sure to do this every time so that the measurements are comparable. You can also try
to slightly moisten your hands with water.
In some rare cases the values can remain very low (1.0µS), in spite of the measurement working in
principle, displaying at least very small changes in value. In this case we recommend using one-way
ECG electrodes. They provide a much stronger contact with the skin. You can apply these electrodes
to multiple locations of your hands as displayed in the pictures.
You can purchase 50 disposable gel electrodes (size suitable for adults and children) for € 12.90
. You
can order on our online shop at

pieces.html
If this produces no changes, or the measured value is completely constant, please proceed with
question 6.
Question 3:
Can I use the eSense with my device?
Please see the pdf document on our products pages (see question 1), under "
Question 3b:
My eSense does not work with iOS 9 (or higher).
The eSense works through the microphone port. From iOS 9 or higher you have to allow explicitly
that the eSense app may use the microphone port, otherwise it will not work. You are asked for this
during installation, please answer with “Yes” or “Allow”. After installation you can make this setting
manually: Allow the eSense app to use the microphone port in the system settings of your iOS device:
Settings -> Privacy -> Microphone.
