About
Footfalls & Heartbeats is a smart textile technology company that develops non-intrusive smart textile sensing solutions, where the textile itself functions as the sensor. The company patented technology allows control and manipulation of yarn-to-yarn interaction and the movement of micro-mechanical structures that form the basis of knitted fabrics, creating smart textiles that look and feel like regular fabrics while providing sensing capabilities. The smart textiles are durable, washable, and can last the lifetime of a regular textile, with total customization for placement anywhere within a fabric and conformity to any shape or surface. Footfalls & Heartbeats collaborates with businesses to develop proof-of-concept prototypes and market-ready products, helping companies revolutionize existing products or build new ones with integrated textile sensing technology for healthcare, sports, and industrial applications. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Nottingham, United Kingdom, the company has raised approximately $4.9 million in Series A funding from investors including Global from Day One, Sparkbox Venture Group, and New Zealand Growth Capital Partners.
