Introducing Our New Wrist-Worn Sensor 

Introducing Our New Wrist-Worn Sensor 

We’re excited to share a preview of our new wrist sensor. This device is built for comfort during long-term wear, making it suitable for longitudinal studies spanning weeks or even months. 

Two Designs: Sporty vs. Stealth 

We’re currently exploring two design directions: 

  • White (Sporty): a bright, athletic look 

  • Black (Stealth): a minimalist and discreet look 

Both designs are comfortable, but each carries a different character. 

What It Measures 

This wrist sensor integrates multiple physiological and motion sensors, including: 

  • PPG (photoplethysmography)  
  • GSR (galvanic skin response)  
  • Skin temperature  
  • Accelerometer 
  • Gyroscope  

These features allow for rich, multimodal data collection across diverse applications—from health monitoring to behavioural studies. 

Configurable Settings for Flexibility 

A key advantage of this device is its configurable settings. Researchers can adjust parameters such as sampling rates or which sensors are enabled. This flexibility allows you to tailor the device to your study’s priorities: 

  • Collect more detailed, high-frequency data when precision is critical. 
  • Extend battery life by optimizing sensor use when longer wear is needed. 

This trade-off between data granularity and battery longevity puts control in your hands, ensuring the device can adapt to a variety of study designs. 

We’d Love Your Feedback

As we refine this product, your input is invaluable. We’re keen to hear your thoughts not only on the points below, but also on any other features or considerations that matter to you — such as regulatory compliance, data storage, etc.  

    Your feedback will help us balance flexibility with convenience, ensuring the device meets both research-grade requirements and practical usability in long-term studies.
