Capical

Capical is a private German company, founded in 2018, that has established itself as a leader in capacitive sensor technology for non-contact physiological monitoring. Its proprietary platform enables high-accuracy ECG measurement through materials, which it is developing into products like a sleep sensor sheet and integrating into smart seats for driver monitoring. The company operates as a B2B development partner and product provider, leveraging over a decade of research, clinical validation, and key intellectual property to commercialize its technology across healthcare and automotive sectors.

Proprietary capacitive sensor technology enabling medical-grade, non-contact ECG and vital sign measurement through materials like textiles and upholstery.

Capical competes with traditional contact-based ECG device makers (e.g., Philips, GE Healthcare), optical PPG-based wearables (e.g., Apple Watch), and other emerging non-contact technologies like radar or ballistocardiography. Its primary differentiation is the combination of medical-grade ECG data, non-contact operation, and comfort through material integration.
