Torq Labs

Torq Labs specializes in the development of connected smart leggings designed to enhance athlete safety and performance. The company's innovative technology addresses the need for real-time feedback on movement patterns and form during athletic activities. Torq Labs' smart clothing is equipped with multiple sensors that monitor crucial joint systems, including knees, hips, ankles, elbows, shoulders, and wrists. This technology allows athletes to track their total load capacity and receive alerts when they are moving improperly or overexerting themselves.

The smart leggings offer a wireless solution for athletes to monitor their lower body form as they progress through workouts, providing insights that were previously only available in clinical environments. By leveraging this technology, Torq Labs aims to help athletes train smarter by identifying when they might be overdoing exercises or when additional repetitions could be detrimental to their performance. The company's approach contributes to a deeper understanding of human kinematics in competitive environments, with potential applications in both professional sports and consumer markets.

Torq Labs' business model included both B2B sales and partnerships, as well as direct-to-consumer sales.
