Founded in 1995 by Mr. Ian Main, XSENSOR designs, manufactures and sells the world's most advanced pressure imaging systems. XSENSOR was developed as a solution for the needs of researchers to identify pressures on various surfaces, specifically the human body, using proprietary capacitive sensing technology.

Since producing our first pressure imaging system, the X1 Platform, for pressure ulcer prevention, we have continued to improve our product, developing the X2 series and, in late 2005, the X3 Series. In the past three years, we have expanded, enhancing our services in the patient safety and health care industries and entering two new markets: automotive testing and sleep.

Pressure mapping systems are invaluable tools in a number of critical environments. In a sleep environment, mattress retailers use pressure imaging to provide customers with a tangible, visual, in-store demonstration of mattress alternatives to help them understand how each mattress will impact their unique body type and sleep style. In the patient safety market, clinicians use XSENSOR's systems to prevent and manage pressure wounds and to diagnose appropriate seat- and bed-cushioning products. Industrial researchers and product designers use our systems to conduct sophisticated tests that support the design, testing, and quality-control process of automotive seating, door seals, tires, and other industrial parts.

Today, XSENSOR's pressure imaging systems are used in over 40 countries. Among our clients are such leading organizations as NASA, the U.S. Air Force, GM, Ford, Daimler-Chrysler, BMW, Volkswagen, Audi, CISCO Systems, Kraft Foods, Sealy, Kingsdown, Select Comfort, and the Mayo Clinic.
