Nanoleq product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Nanoleq designs and manufactures proprietary smart textile components — ElectroSkin hybrid polymer-textile electrodes, PhantomTape X conductive elastic tape, and PhantomLink interconnects — that enable dry bio-signal monitoring (ECG, EMG, EEG) and painless electrostimulation (EMS, FES, NMES) when integrated into garments. The company sells these e-components individually, bundled into starter kits for prototyping, or as end-to-end smart textile solutions delivered through trained manufacturing partners, targeting textile brands, smart textile manufacturers, and digital health/medical device companies.
Product overview
Nanoleq offers a modular smart textile component ecosystem under the BodyGuard brand, consisting of three core e-components (ElectroSkin electrodes, PhantomTape X conductive tape, and PhantomLink interconnects) that enable biological signal monitoring (ECG, EMG, EEG) and electrical stimulation (EMS, FES, NMES). These components are sold individually or bundled in starter kits (Monitoring Kit, Stimulation Kit, PhantomTape Starter Kit, Custom Evaluation Kit) for different use cases. The ecosystem supports textile brands and smart textile manufacturers through a four-stage process: ideation, prototyping, product development, and manufacturing.
