Sensor tech company presents soft flex technology at MD&M West

Technology company Bend Labs is demonstrating its soft flex senor technology at MD&M West 2019.

The company has built a platform for measuring motion. Its flex sensors, otherwise known as angular displacement sensors, can output angles bi-directionally in one and two-axes. These sensors are starting to make their way through a vast application space including healthcare. One such example is Claris Healthcare whose device and software platform provides a remote knee monitoring solution for patients recovering from knee surgery.

Jared Jonas, co-founder and chief product officer of Bend Labs, said: "For us, we’re focused on building sensor technology that transforms physical motion into a digital output. For the medical space this means human motion can be captured and understood in real-time and in-situ.”

Bend Labs is taking aim at the growing flexible hybrid electronics and sensing markets where this type of technology could be a solution for material deformation and complex articulations of the human body.

MD&M West runs until Thursday 7 February at Anaheim Convention Center, California.
