Sensawear AG

Sensawear develops wearable, textile-integrated tissue oxygenation and pressure sensors using the principle of near-infrared spectroscopy. Special fiber optics seamlessly integrated into clothing will give users real-time feedback of deep tissue oxygen saturation and pressure against the skin. This will allow the user to be aware of low-oxygenation conditions induced by high-pressure points, indicating they should move or be moved through precise, targeted intervention. This technology will prevent painful and dangerous pressure injuries/pressure ulcers from forming. Sensawear will work with industrial partners to define specifications for electronics and textiles and will develop and market the sensors to hospitals and clinics, saving the industry billions of dollars each year.
