What Captiks does
Captiks S.r.l. is a privately held Italian technology company, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Rome, that designs and manufactures wireless wearable inertial sensor systems for three-dimensional human motion capture and analysis. Its core hardware platform, the Movit G1, is a modular wireless IMU system configurable from 5 to 16 devices that records accelerations, rotations, joint angles, and synchronized video, paired with proprietary Motion Studio (recording and real-time visualization) and Motion Analyzer (post-session gait, jump, ROM, and sway analysis) software. The Overtraq product line extends the same wearable approach into sports performance, with sport-specific modules for volleyball, soccer, futsal, and basketball that quantify workload, jump metrics, direction changes, and training intensity. The company also distributes NOKOV optoelectronic cameras (Mars, Pluto, and Underwater series) as a complementary higher-precision offering. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales, with quote-based (non-publicly-listed) pricing and a go-to-market combining direct website inquiry and a global distributor network.
The company sells to research, medical, sports, life science, veterinary, industrial, and military end-markets, with a publicly visible customer base concentrated in Italian universities and hospitals (Tor Vergata, La Sapienza, IRCCS San Raffaele, Ospedale Policlinico Umberto I, Istituto Superiore di Sanità). The company operates with 1-10 employees, has no disclosed external funding, and is led by co-founders Carlo Alberto Pinto (CEO) and Dario De Leo. Scientific credibility is built through peer-reviewed publications validating Movit System accuracy against gold-standard optoelectronic systems, and international reach is enabled through a network of regional distributors.

Captiks product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Captiks designs, develops, and sells wireless wearable inertial sensor systems for 3D motion measurement and analysis, primarily serving research, medical, and sports applications. The company offers the Movit System (a modular IMU-based platform with 5 to 16 Movit G1 sensors paired with Motion Studio and Motion Analyzer software for clinical and research use) and the Overtraq product line (wearable devices for sports performance monitoring across volleyball, soccer, futsal, and basketball). Captiks also distributes NOKOV optoelectronic motion capture cameras as a complementary offering for applications requiring higher-precision optical tracking.
Product overview
Captiks offers a portfolio of motion capture and analysis products centered around two main systems. Movit System is the core platform for research, medical, and rehabilitation applications, featuring wireless inertial sensors (Movit G1) and companion software (Motion Studio for recording, Motion Analyzer for analysis). The Overtraq product line extends into sports and athletic activities with sport-specific modules for Soccer/Futsal and Volleyball, providing workload analysis, jump metrics, and training intensity quantification. Captiks also distributes NOKOV optoelectronic cameras (Mars, Pluto, and Underwater series) as a complementary product line for applications requiring higher precision optical tracking.
