Everything about Empatica
Health industry trade group
Empatica Inc. is an MIT Media Lab spinoff company born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, operating in Healthcare, providing AI-enabled tools to advance forecasting, monitoring, research, and treatment. Empatica’s wearable devices include EmbracePlus and EmbraceMini, as well as earlier devices such as Embrace2 and E4. These wearables measure and track physiological signals such as heart rate, heart rate variability, electrodermal activity, motion and acceleration, skin temperature, and other indicators of autonomic nervous system activity. These data support applications in health monitoring, digital biomarker development, sleep and activity tracking, and clinical research. Empatica developed the Empatica Health Monitoring Platform, a digital health platform that integrates wearable data, cloud-based infrastructure, and digital biomarkers for continuous physiological monitoring and analysis. The platform supports remote patient monitoring, decentralized clinical trials, and clinical research across multiple therapeutic areas, including neurology, sleep, mental health, and movement disorders. The company is headquartered in Boston, MA with offices in Milan, Italy, and Seoul, South Korea. Wikipedia →
