Emteq
Emteq Labs is a market leader in wearable technology for monitoring and translating facial expressions of human behavior in real-world settings. Their open platform, OCOsense, originated from research on facial paralysis and has evolved into a contact-free, low-latency, highly sensitive technology. This platform enables partners to create solutions across various industries by providing unparalleled insights into emotional responses through facial muscle activity and biometric data. The company has received multiple awards for its technology, intellectual property, and initial biometric datasets. Ongoing work focuses on validating health applications in collaboration with university partners, supported by funding from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR i4i), Innovate UK, and Horizon 2020. Emteq Labs aims to create technology that reduces friction and increases human happiness, establishing a new standard for emotion analytics with real-time emotion sensing capabilities for virtual and augmented environments. Their business model appears to be a combination of technology licensing and potentially data analytics services, with OCOsense available for researchers.
