About Us
Flexible Iontronic Sensing Technology
TacSense has developed the world抯 most sensitive and flexible tactile sensing technology,
known as the Flexible IonTronic Sensing technology (FITS). It utilizes proprietary ionic materials to
establish an ionic-electronic interface in response to mechanical stimuli. It provides real-time
high-quality noise-immune pressure/force signals in a mechanically flexible, optically transparent,
and ultrathin package.
TacSense抯 FITS innovation enhances the overall tactile sensing industry by providing the best
performance qualities over the competing resistive, piezoelectric, or conventional capacitive
tactile sensors with its high signal-to-noise ratio, high sensitivity, static and dynamic responses,
high flexibility, high transparency, and low manufacturing cost. FITS can also provide a sense of
touch and be integrated into a wide range of conventional surfaces or interfaces, such as
wood, leathers, metals, or plastics, enabling materials or products to become more intelligent.

Applications
We have configured the innovative tactile sensing architecture for flexible and rapid response
detection. This configuration has allowed FITS to be easily integratable in various market
applications. Its flexibility and conformability makes it perfect for wearable sensor applications,
as the FITS devices can take the form of most curved surfaces and configure to the shape of the
body. For example, when attached to a footwear, headwear, or undergarment, our flexible
tactile sensors allow the wearer to measure arterial pulse waveforms in real time and at all times
with blood pressure and respiratory rate tracked simultaneously.

FootWARE™
FootWARE is the world抯 first ever health-tracking smart shoe that is able to monitor biometrics,
emotions, stress levels, and daily activites. With seamless integration of TacSense抯 FITS solution,
FootWARE aims to o er a complete wearable solution to closely monitor people抯 health
conditions as well as their daily activities in a simple, sleek, and secured way. The shoe is intended
for ambulatory use in daily life, both indoor and outdoor, and these metrics are intended as input
for behavioral change programs to manage lifestyle of individuals with physical evaluation and
planning purposes.
As a result, FootWARE will be able to detect peripheral artery diseases and track diabetic foot
care through pedal pulse monitoring which will be extremely helpful for patients in rehabilitation
and training. The smart shoes come with a rechargeable, low-power Bluetooth module that
connects to the latest FootWARE software where users can gain access to track and store their
wellbeing anywhere at any time.
