Opfikon ZH - IDUN Technologies has gained Sony as a new investor. The spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich develops sensors for portable devices that enable high measurement accuracy without skin irritation.

IDUN Technologies has gained the Japanese electronics company Sony as an investor. According to a press release, the investment comes after the start-up had participated in a support program run by Sony in Europe. 

IDUN Technologies develops sensors for portable devices that enable accurate measurements but are still comfortable for the wearer. The start-up’s first biosensor, Dryode, was brought to market back in 2019. It is suited for sports monitoring under water or for long-term heart monitoring, among other things. The electrodes for Dryode consist of silicon-based materials with conductive particles that are soft and flexible. According to information provided by the company, they offer a clinical signal quality without gel. Their surface imitates the structure of a grasshopper, enabling adhesion without an adhesive.

IDUN Technologies aims to use the new capital to investigate new areas of application for its technology.

IDUN Technologies was founded as a spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH) in 2017. Its headquarters are located in Opfikon.
