Emfit

What Emfit does

Emfit Ltd is a Finland-based, founder-owned manufacturer founded in 1990 that builds contact-free vital signs and movement sensors using proprietary ferro-electret ballistocardiography (BCG) technology. Its sensors are placed under a mattress and detect heart rate, breathing rate, HRV, body movement, and seizure activity without requiring any wearable device, with cloud-based processing handling data analytics and remote transmission via WiFi or LTE-M. The company operates three core product lines: EMFIT QS for personal sleep and recovery tracking, EMFIT MM for nocturnal tonic-clonic seizure detection, and EMFIT CARE for senior care facilities needing fall prevention, wandering detection, and bed-occupancy monitoring. EMFIT QS is also offered as a Cloud API for research and OEM integration.

Emfit serves a horizontally diversified customer base spanning professional athletes, health-conscious consumers, senior care facilities, research institutions, and epilepsy patients, with distribution in over 60 countries. Revenue is generated through a mix of subscription-based pricing (introduced in March 2024 for EMFIT QS at 180/100/50 EUR in years 1/2/3+), monthly B2B subscriptions for EMFIT CARE, hardware sales through distribution partners (Epi USA for North America, Abilia internationally), and API/licensing agreements for research customers. The company holds CE, FCC, GDPR, and CCPA compliance certifications and reports over 100 clinical and scientific publications validating its technology.

The company is privately held, bootstrapped, and led by CEO and co-founder Heikki Räisänen. It employs approximately 20 people across its Vaajakoski, Finland headquarters and a San Marcos, Texas distribution entity, with no disclosed external funding rounds. Its go-to-market combines product-led DTC e-commerce, sales-led enterprise quoting, API-first research engagement, and regional channel partners for the seizure monitor line.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Apple (Apple Watch): Apple Watch provides ECG, HRV, and sleep tracking to a massive mainstream consumer base. As a broad incumbent in personal health monitoring, it is a key indirect competitor to EMFIT QS even though it uses a wearable form factor.
• Fitbit (Google): Fitbit, now part of Google, provides consumer sleep, HRV, and heart rhythm tracking across smartwatches and trackers. It is a broad incumbent in personal health monitoring overlapping EMFIT QS's positioning.
• ResMed: ResMed is a global leader in sleep and respiratory care, including sleep-disordered-breathing diagnostics. It is a broad incumbent in the sleep monitoring and care space where Emfit's QS and CARE products compete.
• Garmin: Garmin offers a wide range of smartwatches and fitness devices with advanced sleep, HRV, and recovery metrics. It is a broad incumbent in the sports and health-conscious segments that Emfit also serves with EMFIT QS.

Direct peers

• Withings: Withings sells a portfolio of connected health devices including sleep-tracking mats (Withings Sleep Analyzer) and ECG-capable watches. It is a direct peer to Emfit in consumer non-wearable/contact-free sleep and heart rhythm monitoring.
• EarlySense: EarlySense makes contact-free under-mattress sensors (InSight) for continuous vital signs monitoring in hospitals, senior care, and home settings, directly comparable to EMFIT CARE's bed-occupancy and vital signs monitoring use cases.
• Whoop: Whoop is a subscription-only wrist wearable focused on HRV, recovery, and sleep, used by professional athletes. It competes head-to-head with EMFIT QS in the athletic HRV/recovery segment with a similar subscription model.
• Oura: Oura Ring provides overnight HRV, sleep staging, and recovery scoring on a subscription basis. It targets the same athletes and health-conscious consumers as EMFIT QS, competing on the same HRV-during-sleep use case via a wearable form factor.

Emerging players

• Sleepace: Sleepace makes non-contact sleep monitoring sensors and bedside devices, including under-mattress strips. It is an emerging player with meaningful product overlap with EMFIT QS in the contact-free sleep tracking category.
• Tunstall Healthcare: Tunstall provides telecare and telehealth solutions, including bed occupancy sensors and fall-prevention technology for senior care. It overlaps with EMFIT CARE in the elderly care monitoring segment, particularly in the UK and Europe.
