Algorithm development for wearables

Smart wearables are only as good as the intelligence driving them. At Elitac Wearables, we specialise in developing robust, efficient algorithms that turn sensor data into actionable insights — enabling wearables to respond accurately and intuitively to users’ movements, physiology, and environment.

Whether you’re building a fitness tracker, a medical wearable, or a military-grade smart garment, our team of biomedical engineers and data scientists can develop the algorithms to make it smart, reliable, and ready to use.

In wearable tech, hardware is just half the equation. Without finely tuned algorithms, even the most advanced sensors can produce noisy or irrelevant data. A wearable device needs algorithms to:

• Interpret complex sensor data in real time

• Detect patterns, anomalies, or events (like falls or irregular heart rates)

• Enable haptic feedback or control systems

• Enhance battery life and processing efficiency

• Personalise the user experience based on activity or biometric input

From motion analysis to biosignal interpretation, our algorithms are designed for accuracy, efficiency, and real-world conditions.

We offer end-to-end algorithm development tailored specifically for wearable applications:

• Sensor data processing
  We build algorithms that clean, filter, and fuse data from IMU’s, ECG, EMG, temperature sensors, and more.
• Machine learning integration
  Need your wearable to adapt or personalise? We implement ML models that can evolve with the user, detect usage patterns, or predict health conditions.
• Real-Time decision making
  We design lightweight, power-efficient algorithms that make real-time decisions — critical for wearables that provide alerts, feedback, or control other systems.
• Prototyping and testing
  Every algorithm we develop is rigorously tested in-lab and in the field. We also help fine-tune algorithms for various microcontroller environments and edge devices.

Our experience spans across:

• Medical wearables – such as vital sign monitoring, seizure detection

• Military, Defence & Public safety – motion tracking, haptic feedback, stress monitoring

• Sports & performance – injury prevention, posture correction, muscle activity tracking

• Consumer tech – smartwatches, stress trackers, and more

We understand the unique challenges of wearable form factors, such as battery limitations, motion noise, and varying body placement — and we develop algorithms that can still perform well under these conditions.

Need help beyond the algorithm? We work seamlessly with our in-house teams to develop integrated hardware, firmware, and software. That means faster time-to-market, fewer compatibility issues, and solutions built from the ground up for your specific use case and needs.

Do you want to improve people’s lives with your engineering skills? We are always on the lookout for talent. Especially for Hardware and Software developers.
