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 own technologies. The sensor is one material; what changes is how it is shaped, mounted and integrated — and that is what brings out a different characteristic each time. The same tube reads a joint bending in a wearable, force against a surface in a clinical device, and the fine strain of a muscle in a research rig. It is how one sensor becomes an adaptive mouse, a CPR neck sensor and a cannulation glove.
Our FLEXR sensors are thin and lightweight — flexible, soft and sensitive to even the smallest movement.

The sensor is suitable for integration with wearables, turning any clothing into smart technology.
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.
