XEED, LLC specializes in portable motion analysis. XEED brings full-body human motion capture to a small size and a low price point previously thought impossible. The wearable devices are used in degenerative movement disorder studies by enabling therapists, physicians, and researchers to monitor exactly how their patients move throughout the day and provide them with personalized recommendations. The technology has also been used by US warfighters in a DARPA study to analyze the change in physical performance as it relates to infectious disease. XEED aims to bring full-body mocap to fields that are priced out of it or would otherwise be turned off by the bulkiness of existing solutions. By achieving unprecedented battery life and providing a completely wireless solution, the innovative wearables exceed limits and improve the way we interact with movement.
