movisens GmbH specializes in solutions for mobile monitoring, ambulatory assessment, and experience sampling for researchers. Established in 2009 as a spin-off from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, movisens manufactures physiological sensors alongside software for data analysis and real-time participant interaction via its experience sampling platform – movisensXS. movisens offers the unique ability to trigger questionnaires, cognitive tests and interventions based on physiological data which provides researchers valuable insights into the actions of their participants in everyday life.
Key Services and Products:
- Physiological Sensors: movisens offers lightweight wearables designed to capture physiological data for extended durations at high resolution, including physical activity via acceleration sensors, Electrocardiography (ECG), Electrodermal Activity (EDA), temperature, and ambient light.
- movisensXS: A comprehensive web platform to design experience sampling methodology (ESM) and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) studies. An intuitive web-based portal allows researchers to easily design complex studies (including EMI or JITAI studies), collect data in real-time via a smartphone app, and interact with participants based on current context or physiological sensor triggers.
- Data Analysis Software: movisens provides researchers specialized analysis software that processes raw sensor data into meaningful scientific parameters using validated algorithms (e.g., energy expenditure, stress levels, physical activity classification).
- movisens InteractionDesigner and TherapyDesigner: These platforms allow researchers and practitioners to implement innovative ideas for digital prevention, diagnosis, and therapy services rapidly, without having to develop the components from scratch. Users can design digital health applications to evaluate new interventions in the field with patients/participants.
movisens solutions feature prominently in academic research due to their focus on scientific validity, data quality, and ease of use in free-living conditions. The support team strives to find tailored solutions for complicated study designs and would love to help you make your research dream a reality.

SENS Innovation develops and provides discrete, high-precision accelerometers (SENS motion®) for objective measurement of physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep. Our cloud-based system enables near real-time remote monitoring, making it particularly suitable for large-scale cohort studies and research projects. The compact sensor is typically applied to the thigh using our custom-designed patch and validated algorithms, but it is also flexible for use on other parts of the body. The integrated sensor and cloud solution ensures minimal burden for both participants and study administrators, supporting scalable and user-friendly implementation. SENS motion® is a certified Class I medical device and has been used in healthcare, occupational health, and population studies. The solution can be used as a stand-alone tool or integrated into third-party platforms through OEM collaborations.

Smilamind tackles the mental health crisis with an advanced triage system designed to optimize therapy efficiency. An AI-powered remote monitoring tool supports psychotherapists in prioritizing young patients' needs by providing real-time insights, enabling timely and effective interventions, and streamlining care. The companion app, used by adolescents between therapy sessions, collects and analyzes health assessments, behavioral patterns, and biometric data—such as activity levels, sleep habits, and screen time—sourced from commercially available wearables. This data is then presented to professionals through an intuitive dashboard, empowering them to prioritize care and gain meaningful insights into the patient's condition.
