Nurvv
The Company
Nurvv is developing a wearable insole sensing technology that enables monitoring physical gait and body health with sports, ageing, and healthcare applications.
Nurvv’s patented sensor-driven data collectors can measure pronation, calories and force from the foot. The collected data has infinite uses for general fitness, injury prevention and rehabilitation through to general medical well-being.
R&D Focus
Working in collaboration with Queen Mary University of London School of Engineering and Materials Science, Nurvv has developed a comprehensive roadmap of sensors with Queen Mary’s which will take on commercialization over the next 24 months.
