Add-ons
Don’t you get frustrated with bulky sensor systems? They are often heavy with lots of wires sticking out, making them too cumbersome to wear outside of the lab. To overcome this, we created Mitch as a modular hardware platform suitable for wearable IMU data logger applications. It is compatible with a variety of lightweight add-ons that expand its sensing capabilities while keeping it compact and affordable.
These add-ons are popular with healthcare professionals, trainers, makers, creatives, engineers, scientists and researchers looking to enhance Mitch beyond 9-axis IMU. If requirements change, you can always switch to another add-on or return to the basic inertial sensor configuration.
YETI

YETI is a foot sensor that uses Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) technology adjusted for biomechanics research. It has 16 pressure points that can measure contact, touch, force and applied load. It comes in sizes of 36-47 EU or 4.5-13 US.
Applications
- Plantar Pressure Mapping
- Gait Analysis
- Post-injury Recovery
- Postural Monitoring
- Sport
Key Features
- Force Sensing Resistor
- Thin and flexible
- Customizable
- Easy to use
