8sense

8sense is a back-coach wearable device that improves posture, strengthens back muscles, and prevents back pain. It also communicates with physiotherapists.

The 8sense system is a cutting-edge back coach and wearable device that utilizes smart-textile technology. It offers continual feedback to users regarding their posture and helps them strengthen or relax their back muscles while improving muscle memory. The system employs highly accurate measurement parameters that cover the entire back, enhanced by multiple sensor nodes placed in strategic locations. Real-time feedback is provided through advanced estimation algorithms, promoting user adherence. The 8sense system also offers various sets of exercises recommended for the prevention of back pain.

The therapy module of the system facilitates improved communication between patients and physiotherapists. At the prescription stage, physiotherapists will be able to define sets of exercises that specifically address the patient's needs. During treatment, physiotherapists will have access to patient monitoring information for feedback and possible readjustments.

At 8sense, we are passionate about health and sports, and we believe in a holistic, proactive approach to wellness. We encourage users to develop a better understanding of their bodies and health, leading to a shift in mindset from reactive to proactive. By using 8sense, people can identify and address their back pain problems more effectively, see tangible progress, and feel motivated to make positive changes in their habits.

8sense was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Germany. The last investment of $100.00K was in a Seed Round by Preferred Networks and Hitachi on 04 January 2022.
