Core offering

APDM Wearable Technologies manufactures research-grade inertial wearable sensors (Opal V2R and Opal V2C) and companion analysis software (Motion Studio, Mobility Lab, Moveo Explorer) used by researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical sponsors to objectively quantify human movement, gait, balance, and physical activity in clinical trials and academic studies.

Product overview

APDM Wearable Technologies provides a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on Opal wearable sensors and companion software. The Opal V2R is the research-grade wearable sensor, while the Opal V2C serves clinical trials. These sensors are bundled with three software modules: Motion Studio (raw data access and custom protocol development), Mobility Lab (gait and balance analysis for researchers), and Moveo Explorer (full-body kinematics with automated reporting). The hardware sensors stream data to Java, Python, or C environments, and support up to 24 devices networked together for multi-subject studies.
