Skin torsionometers, methods and systems for using such skin torsionometers, and systems including a skin torsionometer, computing device configured to capture images, and an application (app) for determining the tautness of skin are described herein.

A method of measuring a biomechanical parameter of soft biological tissue is described. The method includes a pre-measurement process wherein an impulse applying device applies a pre-pressure to a surface of the tissue via an end portion contacting the tissue surface. While maintaining the pre-pressure, the device generates at least two impulses separated by a time interval, each impulse causing the end portion to impart to the tissue an action with certain parameters, each action inducing a response of the tissue. A value of a biomechanical parameter of the tissue is determined from each response induced. A determination is made as to whether the determined values of the biomechanical parameter are sufficiently similar to each other to indicate that the pre-pressure, the parameters of the end portion actions and the time interval are acceptable for use in a measurement process to be conducted on the surface of the tissue.

A system for characterizing tissue includes a probe that delivers a continuous and periodic mechanical vibration to a tissue of a subject; an ultrasound emitter that emits a sequence of ultrasound shots and an ultrasound receiver that receives corresponding echo signals to track how the tissue is moved by the periodic mechanical vibration delivered to the tissue; and a control module programmed to provide homogeneity information to an operator of the system, the homogeneity information being determined from at least some of the echo signals and being representative of the ability of the tissue to transmit elastic waves and of the homogeneity of the tissue with respect to the propagation of elastic waves.

A sensor module for Raman spectroscopy includes a sensor package which encloses an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a light emitter arrangement, a light detector arrangement and a filter arrangement. The light emitter arrangement is electrically connected to the ASIC and operable to emit light with multiple excitation wavelengths to excite Raman scattering in an external probe to be placed outside of the sensor module. The light detector arrangement is operable to generate sensor signals from incident light emitted back from the external probe due to the Raman scattering. The filter arrangement is operable to filter the incident light according to a target passband. The ASIC is operable to drive the light emitter arrangement at the excitation wavelengths to shift a Raman spectral band of the external probe into the passband of the filter arrangement.
