Basic Technology
Dielectric Electro Active Polymers or DEAP are at the base of the technology used
In essence Bainisha has a displacement sensor that has no match. The technology is not trying to compete with other technologies though. On the contrary we use the strength of other technologies like Inertial Measurement Units (IMU’s) to develop multi-sensor systems that are very precise
Printable
Mass production based on the roll to roll principle
User Friendly
Doesn't affect the integrity of the surface it sticks on and can't be noticed by the human skin. It can also stay on the specific surface for several weeks allowing longitudinal data gathering, leading to whole new insights
Flexible Design
Can be designed as wanted in function of the application
Self Adhesive
This is a key characteristic as it allows the sensor to morph with whatever it sticks on. Measuring multidimensional displacement gets a whole other meaning
Characteristics
The sensors combine some features that make them truly unique
- Hyper stretchable up to 400%
- Ultra thin, as from 30 micron and as a consequence very light
- Fast at speeds up to 56 kHz
- Accurate and able to measure displacement as from 5 micron
What Makes The Sensor Unique?
It is the combination of all the characteristics that make the sensors unique. There are definitely faster sensors or more precise ones but these sensors are never as user friendly, robust or affordable.
In combination with other sensors on the same patch Bainsiha is able to produce very powerful health patches for example
- What really makes the the sensors unique is the quality of the raw data they produce, which makes them the ideal starting point to build effective algorithms and models
