X-trodes' Smart skin helps people monitor sleep from their bed and empower 
users to shorten the recovery from muscle injuries 24/7

X-trodes, a bio-convergence company that developed wearable technology for 
advanced electrophysiological measurement and analytics, has raised a $4.5 
million seed round led by Japan Israel High Tech Ventures (Chartered Group), 
Welltech. and Jeremy Coller. 

Backed by over 15 years of academic research and scientifically validated 
patents, X-trodes has developed the world's first wireless Smart Skin™ that 
consists of an ultra-soft, dry, multi-electrode patch array system. Its 
patented technology that aims to reduce hospital and clinic workload and ease 
patients lives, is powered by machine learning methodologies that provide 
objective signal analysis and monitoring, for everyday activity in any 
environment.

The two first products that X-trodes brings to market are:

Medical-grade sleep monitoring - a truly wireless system for sleep monitoring, 
especially for neurological and psychiatric disorders.  X-trodes single patch 
for multi-modality measurement, retrieves meaningful insights and diagnostics 
from patients' own bed, in their natural environment. 

Muscle recovery - A flexible wearable system that prevents muscle injuries and 
accelerates recovery by monitoring electrophysiology function in dynamic 
environments and analysing every muscle with wireless AI-driven insights. 
Eyal Agmoni, Managing General Partner, Japan Israel High Tech Ventures 2LP
