Ambient Sensing
We transform homes, clinics, farms, and public spaces into intelligent sensing platforms that non-invasively capture vibration, motion, sound, vision, and touch.
Ubiquitous Health Intelligence
We make the physical world feel, learn, and care.
We build sensing and AI systems that uncover hidden information in everyday motion, vibrations, and touch—creating new ways to understand and improve the health of people and infrastructure.
Our research engine
See all projects →Sensing + AI for health
Three connected strengths move our work from invisible physical signals to scientific discovery and trustworthy decisions.
AI-Driven Discovery
Physics-informed and multimodal AI reveal how humans and complex systems function, adapt, and evolve.
Decision Intelligence
We combine scientific knowledge with real-world measurements to support better decisions in health, engineering, and beyond.
