OmniBuds
OmniBuds is the world’s first sensory earable research platform, enabling real-time capture of all five vital signs to advance personalised health research.
Sensory Earable Research Platform for Multimodal Health Science
OmniBuds is the world’s first sensory earable research platform designed for continuous, real-time tracking of five vital signs, with full access to raw data streams. It integrates four complementary sensing channels—kinetic, acoustic, thermal, and optical—enabling detailed study of human physiology in natural settings.Built for research, OmniBuds supports on-device data collection, privacy-preserving processing, and direct access through robust APIs for custom analysis and experimentation.
The platform is optimised for high-fidelity sensing with up to six hours of continuous operation.Conceived as a human-centred research tool, OmniBuds bridges laboratory-grade sensing and real-world deployment—accelerating research in personalised health, wellbeing, and next-generation earable computing.
