Features and functionality

Thanks to its flexible structure and adaptability to various body types and application contexts, the system enables precise monitoring of body-object interaction. It provides critical data to optimize comfort, ergonomics, and functionality during testing, design, and validation processes.

The system enables accurate evaluation of material positioning, density, and compliance, supporting the development of ergonomically optimized vest designs. It is ideally suited for weareble, seating systems, rehabilitation equipment, and clinical workstations.

Data collected by the sensor is processed through advanced Windows® software, delivering high-resolution pressure maps, in-depth statistical analysis, and comprehensive design-support tools. By reducing the number of physical prototypes and testing iterations, the Tactilus® Back Sensor accelerates development cycles while enhancing comfort, posture support, and clinical performance.
