Body Area Network – how wearable and on body sensors can communicate intelligently with one another or other devices such as smartphones, base stations and the cloud. Innovations in areas such as near field and cellular communications and how they relate to wearables.

Textile Sensing – our textile sensing solutions integrate high precision/accuracy health and activity monitoring directly into fabrics. Includes innovations in knitted electrodes and manufacturing techniques, surface EMG, and textile-device interfaces.

Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, and the Metaverse – our technology brings the digital and physical worlds closer, enriching AR/VR experiences enhancing the next generation of wearable computing. This includes incorporating AR markers into clothing to allow visualisation of user health data and other metrics such as for sports broadcasting, and using wearable data as a source of trust in virtual competitions.

Industrial Monitoring – clothing with a network of sensors connected over a wearable comms bus to assess factors such as the likelihood of injury or fatigue of a worker in real-time. Hardware constructions to allow a secure and quick data download from a worker in the event of an injury helping employers prioritise safety, improve response times, and reduce insurance premiums.

Performance Lifestyle Apparel – functional and aesthetically pleasing garments. Innovations in bra constructions such as in flat-knit bras. Not generally limited to “smart” bras that incorporate sensors, but can be used in these applications. Our innovations prioritise aesthetics without sacrificing performance.

Insights for Health, Fitness, and Wellbeing – accurate and efficient algorithms for estimating recovery, cardiovascular health, and fitness level amongst others. Our insights are data driven and offer meaningful metrics for general life, professional training and workplace settings

Next Generation Wearable Hardware – wearable devices with small form factor, reduced power consumption, and enhanced sensor functionality.

On-Device Intelligence – on-device machine-learning, enhanced firmware algorithms for efficient and accurate processing of raw data signals obtained from sensors.

Charging Infrastructure – wireless power charging for wearables such as over near-field or far-field to support continuous use, charging cases with enhanced functionality, and power management routines to reduce power consumption and enhance runtime of wearable devices.
