Sympathia Technologies (a deep tech initiative developed in collaboration with INESC MMN) was on of the the five selected teams to join Lab2Market at Instituto Superior Técnico, a 9-week program aiming to accelerate innovation. The StrataFox team, which includes a member from #INESCMN, has introduced an innovative solution and was also selected for this program.

Sympathia Technologies is a groundbreaking deep tech initiative introducing a discreet and seamless solution for mental health monitoring – a smart sock that monitors the nervous system. Making use of e-textile technology and advanced sensors, the project aims to enhance clinical outcomes for individuals facing psychiatric disorders. With over two years of dedicated R&D in collaboration with INESC MN and Instituto de Telecomunicações, the project has already successfully delivered its first functional MVP and validated it on healthy subjects.

Lab2Market is an innovation acceleration program organized by TT@Técnico in collaboration with NTT DATA and iDeals. Its goal is to find the best way to valorize technologies developed at Instituto Superior Técnico, which can generate value and solve society’s problems. The teams are comprised of professors, researchers, PhD and master’s students from Instituto Superior Técnico developing innovative technologies and/or projects.
