– The company also announced the appointment of Steen Strand, former head of Snap Inc.’s hardware division, as CEO.

Sense: A New Era of Emotion-Aware Technology

Sense is the culmination of a decade of research and development by Emteq Labs, led by renowned surgeon and facial musculature expert, Dr. Charles Nduka. This patented, AI-powered eyewear platform provides lab-quality insights into the wearer’s emotions, behaviors, and health metrics in real-world settings.

Sense Key Features and Capabilities:

  • Emotion Sensing: Sense utilizes contactless OCO sensors to detect and analyze facial muscle activations, providing a comprehensive understanding of the wearer’s emotional state.
  • Dietary Monitoring: A downward-facing camera captures food consumption, enabling accurate tracking of dietary habits.
  • Health and Wellness Tracking: Sense monitors various health-related metrics, including mood, posture, attention levels, and physical activity.
  • AI-Powered Analysis: Proprietary AI/ML algorithms analyze the collected data to provide meaningful insights.
  • Secure Data Management: Data is securely transferred to the Sense app and cloud platform, with user control over data sharing.

Transformative Applications

The insights provided by Sense have far-reaching implications for various fields:

  • Healthcare: Improving the diagnosis and monitoring of mental health conditions, weight management, and other health issues.
  • Consumer Sentiment Analysis: Understanding consumer reactions to products and experiences.
  • Augmented Reality: Creating more immersive and personalized AR experiences.

Addressing Critical Health Challenges

Emteq’s technology has demonstrated promising results in addressing critical health concerns:

  • Obesity: Sense accurately tracks food intake and eating behavior, overcoming limitations of traditional self-reporting methods.
  • Mental Health: The platform can effectively distinguish between depressed and non-depressed individuals, potentially improving the diagnosis and monitoring of various mental health conditions.

Leadership and Expertise

Steen Strand, the new CEO of Emteq Labs, brings extensive experience in hardware development from his leadership role at Snap Inc.’s SnapLab, where he oversaw the Spectacles AR eyewear line.

“Having spent my entire career at the intersection of innovation and consumer products, I can confidently assert that Emteq will transform the smart eyewear landscape and, more importantly, improve and save lives,” said Steen Strand, CEO of Emteq Labs .”Health applications have catalyzed the rise of wearables, and eyewear is the next frontier. Emteq will deliver the most compelling case for smart glasses yet—proving that they can dramatically improve your health.”
