What BioForce Analytics does

BioForce Analytics, LLC is a privately held US education technology company founded in August 2016 and headquartered in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, with an additional Exton office. It was incubated by nth Solutions, LLC after co-founders Dr. Chip Uricchio and Janice Uricchio brought a vision for a device that simultaneously records video and motion data, initially explored for equestrian therapy before pivoting to K-12 physics education. The company sells the EduForce Module, a compact motion-measurement device built around a 9-degree-of-freedom Inertial Measurement Unit (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer) that captures continuous motion data at nearly 1,000 samples per second and is housed in shock-resistant silicon epoxy rated to 10,000 g's. A wireless EduForce Remote pairs via Bluetooth to start and stop recording without disturbing the trial, and the data is processed through the free EduForce Dashboard desktop application for Windows and Mac, which exposes both an Education Mode for step-by-step lab workflows and an Advanced Mode for custom experiments.

The company's core differentiator is SINC (Simultaneous Image and Numeric Data Capture) Technology, a patented method that automatically merges the IMU data stream with video captured by any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone or camera, overlaying motion graphs onto the video playback so students can correlate real-world variations with theoretical predictions. BioForce monetizes the platform through direct e-commerce sales of hardware bundles — individual modules at $250, Lab Station Kits (two modules plus remote and USB cable) at $400, and full Classroom Kits of 14 modules and 7 remotes at $2,660 — and through a digital content catalog of tiered Virtual Physics Lab videos (Tier 1 guided, Tier 2 data-only, Tier 3 raw capture, plus Challenge variants) priced at $4.95 per lab download. The EduForce Dashboard is provided free of charge as a hardware attach driver. The go-to-market is a direct-to-consumer, product-led motion targeting US high school physics teachers, supplemented by free Tier 3 and Challenge demo downloads, educational resources, and organic social sharing on X and Facebook; sales channels are limited to the company's own online store plus email and phone-based direct contact, with no third-party distributors or enterprise salesforce.

Core offering

BioForce Analytics designs, manufactures, and sells the EduForce Module, a 9-degree-of-freedom inertial measurement unit that captures motion data at roughly 1,000 samples per second and pairs with the free EduForce Dashboard software and patented SINC Technology to overlay data onto video. The company also sells bundled hardware kits (Lab Station Kit, Classroom Kit) and a tiered library of downloadable Virtual Physics Lab video content for high school physics classrooms.

Product overview

BioForce Analytics offers a hardware-software platform for motion measurement and physics education. The core product is the EduForce Module, a 9-degree-of-freedom motion sensor device that pairs with the EduForce Remote for wireless operation. The EduForce Dashboard desktop software (Windows/Mac) configures the module and visualizes data. SINC Technology (patented) merges video with motion data. The company sells individual modules ($250), Lab Station Kits ($400 with 2 modules + remote), and Classroom Kits ($2,660 with 14 modules + 7 remotes). Digital content includes Virtual Physics Labs (Inclined Plane and Level Pulley series) available in three tiered difficulty levels at $4.95 per lab.

Emerging players

• PocketLab: PocketLab makes portable, wireless science sensors (including IMU-based motion sensors) for K-12 and STEM classrooms. It overlaps with the EduForce Module on motion-sensor functionality and the same teacher/buyer persona, but with a more multi-sensor focus.
• Labster: Labster provides virtual science labs for high school and higher education, including physics simulations. It is a comparable digital-content competitor in curriculum-driven science education, though more weighted toward college and virtual-reality labs.
• ExploreLearning: ExploreLearning offers Gizmos, a leading interactive science simulation suite used widely in K-12 physics instruction. It competes for the same digital-content budget that BioForce's $4.95 Virtual Physics Labs target, though in a pure-software, no-hardware model.
• Arduino Education: Arduino Education sells STEM kits with built-in IMUs and programmable sensors for secondary and higher education. It overlaps with EduForce on motion-sensing capability and physics/STem classroom use cases, though it emphasizes programmability over turnkey lab experience.
• phyphox: phyphox is a free smartphone app from RWTH Aachen that turns phone sensors into physics experiments. It is a partial substitute for the EduForce Module in price-sensitive classrooms and represents the smartphone-native competitive risk to BioForce's hardware.

Direct peers

• PASCO Scientific: PASCO is the leading direct competitor in K-12 and college physics sensors, offering motion sensors, force sensors, and cart systems with proprietary software. It targets the same high school physics classroom buyer as BioForce Analytics and is the most directly comparable peer.
• Vernier Software & Technology: Vernier is the dominant K-12 science data-collection vendor with motion detectors, accelerometers, and its LabQuest/Logger Pro ecosystem. It competes head-to-head with the EduForce Module for physics lab budgets and shares the same product-led, hardware-plus-software model.

Others

• Ward's Science: Ward's Science supplies physics lab equipment and sensors to K-12 and college classrooms. It is a relevant distribution-adjacent peer and a potential channel into the same high school physics educators BioForce targets.
• Fisher Science Education: Fisher Science Education is a major distributor of K-12 and higher-ed science equipment, including motion sensors from PASCO and Vernier. It is a potential channel partner for BioForce Analytics if the company moves beyond direct-to-consumer.

Broad incumbents

• Texas Instruments: TI's graphing calculators and TI-Innovator hub are deeply embedded in high school physics classrooms. While not a direct motion-sensor competitor, TI competes for the same physics teaching budget and classroom workflow that EduForce targets.
