Nextiles Launches Software Development Kit, Enabling All Industries to Access Novel Data Capture and Machine Learning Insights

New York, July 20, 2021 – Nextiles, a textiles manufacturing startup that blends traditional sewing techniques with printed circuit boards to create smart fabric, today announced a newly designed software development kit (SDK) that will enable any existing application to access  Nextiles’ software platform and leverage its novel human movement analytics to build custom algorithms and partner-specific metrics. Through its patent-protected manufacturing process, Nextiles’ smart fabrics allow for complete biomechanic and biometric sensing. Industries such as sleep, sports and performance, and fitness are now able to partner with Nextiles to capture human movement data seamlessly via Bluetooth, and create proprietary machine learning algorithms to augment their own existing platforms.

Nextiles was founded in 2018 by George Sun, a seasoned computer scientist and electrical engineer with a PhD in biological engineering from MIT. Sun compiled a team to reimagine the future of wearable technology by creating a superior form factor through fabric. Nextiles has developed smart thread technology to capture biometric and biomechanical data through flexible material and helps its partners build custom backends, which produce novel insights from manufactured soft goods. The fabric is made by blending metallic fibers with traditional fabrics, such as nylon or spandex, to produce pressure, bend, and stretch sensors embedded within garments. To be released, Nextiles is also creating biometric fabric sensors for heart-rate monitoring and chemical analysis such as sweat. When combined with traditional sensors such as accelerometers and other Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), Nextiles is able to create a holistic, novel data picture for clients spanning an array of industries.Sdk App Dashboards Copy
