The next step in sensor technology is embedding the sensors into clothing—and
that’s what BeBop Sensors, a flexible pressure sensor solutions company, has
done. Specifically, BeBop integrates electrodes into fabric.

The sensor can measure metrics such as weight/force, shape, location, and
presence. One example of sensor’s integration is a helmet. Using their Force
Location Sensor System, the sensors are able to record an entire incident
from the head’s point of view while providing real-time feedback feed-back in
real-time with a customizable set of commands. This is paired with a
Bluetooth device for first responders and those studying post-trauma. The
sensors can detect the impact location and velocity thresholds and trigger
emergency calls.

The helmet is designed with a lattice array of 40 sensors.

Additional integrations include shoes, athletic equipment, healthcare
devices, and prosthetics.
