Existing wearable sensors measure physiology (EKG, EMG), electrical conductivity or breathing. In contrast, patented, proprietary monolithic fabric sensor technology from Bebop Sensors Inc.
allows physical measurements including bend, location, motion, rotation, angle, size, pressure, force and torque. The sensors’ continuous real-time reporting and 3D mapping capability can enable applications such as:
- answering calls from a shirt
- predicting diabetic events
- measuring gait through insoles, show hand/foot location on gym mats and
- tracking driver alertness in steering wheels
While recently offered as a fabric-based technology, the sensing approach has evolved from diligently tuned fabrics, geometries, and production processes that have been used in over 1 million sensors produced by musical instrument company, Keith McMillen Instruments.
