iMAT


Developed by New Zealand-based Zephyr Technology Ltd., iMAT is sensing technology which uses electric field measuring techniques to determine the distance between two surfaces. This technology allows flexible and formable sensors that can measure displacement, force, pressue, weight, impact events, movement, and breathing.

iMAT sensors are cost effective, flexible, and may be manufactured in a variety of shapes. Any compressible medium such as PE foam or EVA may be used. Typical applications include wearable smart fabrics, 3D mapping of bodies, non-contact patient movement and respiratory analysis, real-time radio-linked pressure mapping, in-field patient monitoring, and body armor impact sensing.
