Z-PULSE aims to become the leading provider of high-sensitivity, self-powered sensing technology for wearable healthcare devices. By overcoming the limitations of traditional sensors—such as bulkiness, high costs, and frequent maintenance—Z-PULSE is pioneering next-generation solutions that seamlessly integrate into wearable systems. Focused on innovation, scalability, and sustainability, we are committed to enabling early disease detection, stress-free patient care, and improved quality of life through our advanced zero-burden technologies.
Our vision is to revolutionise pressure sensing technology by delivering innovative, self-powered, and zero-burden triboelectric sensors that empower wearable systems for advanced healthcare applications. We aim to improve patient outcomes while enabling sustainable, accessible solutions for a healthier future.
At Z-PULSE, our mission is to transform healthcare monitoring through cutting-edge, non-invasive, and real-time wearable technologies. As the global focus shifts from reactive treatment to proactive prevention, there is an ever-growing demand for smarter, more efficient wearable solutions. Our self-powered triboelectric pressure sensing technology addresses this need by enabling continuous and remote monitoring of critical health indicators. By reducing hospital admissions, alleviating healthcare system pressures, and lowering costs, Z-PULSE empowers providers to deliver better, more efficient care.
Our sensors excel in continuous health monitoring, addressing critical applications like diabetic foot care, foetal monitoring, and fall detection for the elderly. Unlike conventional sensors, our self-powered, triboelectric technology provides a zero-burden, real-time solution, eliminating the need for external power sources.
Our technology supports physiotherapy and rehabilitation by monitoring pressure on a prosthetic limb, gait patterns, muscle activity, and recovery progress with high sensitivity. Integrated into wearable devices like insoles or rehabilitation garments, our sensors provide real-time feedback for patients and therapists, ensuring optimal recovery whilst being lightweight, battery-free, and comfortable.
Our advanced sensing technology, seamlessly integrates into wearables like sportswear or shoes, to provide athletes and trainers with real-time insights into pressure distribution, posture, and movement. By enabling precise monitoring, we help optimise athletic performance and minimise injury risks.
Leveraging triboelectric technology, our sensors can also harvest energy from human motion, such as walking or running to power small electronic devices. This capability stands out from traditional energy-harvesting methods by offering a sustainable, wearable solution that integrates seamlessly into textiles or insoles, reducing reliance on batteries.
It was a pleasure visiting the #WSE E-Textile Innovation Lab at @Winchester School, University of Southampton, with Professor Ravi Silva FREng CBE. We were truly inspired by the lab’s advanced #knitting and #weaving facilities, which are used for wearable #healthcare and well-being applications.
It was a great experience attending #venturefestsouth, which #InnovateUKICURe supported. Thanks to Rosy Jones for making this happen!
We proudly represented our community today at Venturefest South 2024, where innovation, collaboration, and growth took centre stage.
Another feature: this time about kinetic energy being converted into electricity. So your morning jog could power your smartwatch. As least in theory. A fascinating topic to research!
