FLEXR is a soft, flexible, stretchable sensor that measures stretch and pressure with extreme sensitivity. It stretches up to three times its length yet detects deformation below one percent, and fits almost any form factor — wearables are just one of the ways we use it.
It's also the platform behind our commissioned projects: bring us a sensing problem and we design and build the custom device for you — the same way we built a CPR neck sensor, an adaptive mouse and more with our partners.
Our strain sensors are microns thin and weigh almost nothing — soft enough to sit on the body without being felt, yet sensitive to the smallest movement.

Precise motion and pressure capture for recovery, assessment and closed-loop medical devices.
Soft, conformable feedback for grippers and dexterous manipulation.
FLEXR grows out of the microfluidic sensing Microtube spun out of NUS in 2018 — soft, tube-based structures that turn the tiniest movement into a clean signal.
Devices we've designed and built for partners on our FLEXR platform — across research, health and industry.
