Workshop: Next Generation Electronics for Defense Applications May 15-16 Arlington VA
Read the April Newsletter Dear NextFlex Members and Friends, We were pleased to host the Manufacturing USA Spring Network meetings at NextFlex last week. Participants included representatives from each of the 14 public-private innovation institutes plus government partners from offices in the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, and …
A new organization called NextFlex has teamed up with GE Global Research and is looking to scale up hybrid, flexible electronics called sweat patches that measure fatigue in pilots, elite athletes and other potential medical users — all by analyzing their sweat.
Wearables and medical devices, logistics and infrastructure monitoring, and soft robotics for advanced prosthetics and augmented warfighter performance stand to be revolutionized by Flexible Hybrid Electronics (FHE). Success, however, depends on innovative power sources or power management schemes that meet the challenging flexible, stretchable, unobtrusive form factors and such varied use cases as a 12-hour wearable monitor for an assembly line worker, to a multi-year unattended infrastructure sensor in an austere environment enabled by FHE.
Through the Project Call, NextFlex focuses on accelerating technology innovation and commercialization through pre-competitive partnerships. Learn about our current Project Call, details about past calls, and what’s coming up for future Project Calls.
