11. Information generated from body motion
allows us to expand our knowledge of
ourselves beyond the range of our five
senses

12. Advanced wearable
technology is now
possible due to rapid
advances in:
• Machine Learning
• Hardware miniaturization
• Computing power
• Low power circuitry
• Mass data storage
• Internet-enabled information accessibility
A Massive Convergence of Technologies

13. Has Led to Real Smart Sensing
Machine learning algorithms have excellent predictive capabilities.
They can make high-accuracy predictions by discovering structure
and relationships in data which is beyond the reach of humans to
uncover. Because of this, it’s possible to quickly and automatically
produce models that can analyze complex data and deliver fast,
accurate results.

14. Why Are We Better Than the Alternatives?
Our stretch sensors capture motion precisely enough to track
fingers, respiratory rate and the contraction of muscle groups.
Our services allow you to create a customized wearable sensing
solution tailored for your unique application.

15. Other Industries
Our sensors are precise and
robust. Crucial properties for the
demands of body worn applications
and other circumstances when
measuring large amounts of strain
is required.
Nasa engineers independently
tested our fabric stretch sensor
against a range of resistive
options.

16. About Us
StretchSense began in 2012 as a spin out from the Biomimetics Lab of the Auckland Bioengineering Institute, University of
Auckland. Since then StretchSense has secured investment from Ralf Muller, Auckland UniServices Limited, Flying Kiwi Angels,
New Zealand Venture Investment Fund, and Start Today Co Ltd.
The team has been developing and refining our electroactive polymer technology for over a decade. We are experts in manu-
facturing custom sensing systems and helping our customers integrate them into commercial products. We pride ourselves on
solving real problems and solving problems others can’t.
Our customers operate at the cutting edge of their fields, and we take their privacy seriously. With strict controls in place, we
keep customer names and commercially sensitive information safe within our organization. What we can say is that our clients
are creating some amazing products in the areas of fitness technology, health, gaming, and VR / AR. StretchSense has made it
our mission to push the boundaries of wearable technology, and we can work with you to develop your unique application.
