Business Developer

Skinetix is a smart apparel and analytics platform for medical staff of elite sports teams who need to maximize player availability and make confident return-to-play decisions.

We deliver reliable, actionable insights based on individual muscle activity and movement. We do this by building a unique ecosystem of hardware, software and use cases, supported by a qualitative database of validated metrics.

We are a spin-off of Imec and VUB and have started pilot studies with several sports rehab centers and are launching a first collaboration with a top team in the Jupiler Pro League.
