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 work. Bring us a sensing challenge and we'll design and build the custom device to solve it — the way we did with a CPR neck sensor, a cannulation glove, and more.
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.

Thin, flexible, and soft enough to be integrated directly into fabric.
The sensing core inside ARIS and other body-worn devices for movement and performance.
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.
FLEXR · Fitness & rehabOur in-house strength-training wearable — FLEXR sensing that automatically detects and counts every repetition, and the effort behind it.
FLEXR · Free appA free Windows app that turns any FLEXR device into a keyboard — map each sensor to a key, no code required.
FLEXR · Assistive techA reconfigurable adaptive computer mouse built on FLEXR sensing. Details are limited while a patent is pending.
FLEXR · ClinicalDetects the carotid pulse to assess CPR effectiveness and close the loop on automated chest compression.
FLEXR · ResearchA FLEXR sensing glove that detects and records scratching behaviour for a children's research study.
FLEXR · InteractionAn early soft-sensor glove translating hand motion into control input.
FLEXR · MedicalA FLEXR thumb sensor paired with a dummy arm and an AI avatar, so nurses can practise cannulation and get real feedback on their technique.
We partner on wearables, clinical devices and robotics built on FLEXR.
