Working with us
Want to have an idea of the costs related to wearable development?
In general, we can help our clients in 3 ways, fitting different budgets:
Buy our Development Hardware
By providing you with our haptic development hardware (our ScienceSuit), you can benefit from our experience and expertise in haptics, saving you time and letting you focus on your own R&D projects.
Our ScienceSuit exists of a control module with a tactor string, Bluetooth and wired connectivity and includes software and templates to program your haptic signals and build custom constellations.
Hardware costs start at
€ 3950,- (excl. 21% VAT)
Wearable Brainstorm & Experience
You can pick the brains of our experienced team of hardware, software, textile, and/or haptic specialists, even for just a few hours or a few days and accelerate your concept development!
Come to our office and experience wearable technology, feel the different integration techniques and by the end of the session, you can walk away inspired, educated, with design options, a development plan and related budget, or even a Proof Of Concept!
Full day workhop with 2-3 specialists, starting at
€ 3500,- (excl. 21% VAT)
Wearable Development Services
We can help you develop your wearable from idea to market-ready product, or any stage in between. Do you need help with feasibility studies, design reviews, turn research papers into proof of concepts, making functional prototypes for testing?
We can do that and much more!
Cost indications per development phase*:

What our clients say about working with us
Our development process
From idea to market-ready product or any step in between, we can assist clients with product development at any stage of the wearable development cycle: Whether it is turning an idea into a Proof of Concept to acquire funding, developing an existing Proof of Concept into a prototype for user testing and validation, or helping partners iron out the final wrinkles before scaling up production. The Elitac product development process is specifically designed to maximise predictability and minimise risk.

Integrating electronics & textiles
We have over 10 years’ experience developing successful wearables for various sectors. This experience allows us to guide you to select the right integration technique for your project, and we have the right partners and suppliers to bring your idea to reality.
We have a strong network of wearable technology research institutes, to ensure we are always up to date with the latest developments.
All specialisms needed for wearable development (in-house)
We have all the required facilities and disciplines in-house to help customers develop products from idea all to the way to a successful, market-ready product, including hardware and software development, textile, and product design.
Our Agile development process and proprietary operating system (TacOS) minimise risk and allow us to turn customers’ ideas into reality faster.
Sensor & actuator selection
We specialise in haptic feedback systems and have a broad experience in sensor and actuator selection and implementation.
By investing continuously in research we ensure that we are always at the forefront of new technological developments.

Why clients choose us as their development partner
Experience
We have developed several successful wearables for the safety, health and sports sectors. Even though the wearables we develop utilise the newest and experimental techniques and materials, our experience allows us to accurately plan the development process and deliverables. This minimises risk and upfront investments for our partners.
Research
Wearable technology improves continuously as a results of new scientific insights and the development of new materials. To ensure we are always up-to-date on the latest techniques, we invest significant time and resources in research. We partner with several universities, hospitals and research institutes from around the world to translate results from scientific research into practical applications.
Multi-disciplinary team
We have a multi-disciplinary internal development team consisting of hardware, software, industrial and soft goods design, marketing and business development experts. We only rely on external parties for raw materials. The fact that each discipline is involved in every step of the development process means that the end result makes sense from all perspectives.
Building blocks
We have developed hardware and software building blocks that allow us to produce prototypes more cost-effectively and in shorter time frames. For example, we have several integration techniques ready for application and our proprietary/custom OS ‘TacOS’ allows for faster, cheaper and more compact wearable development.
Wearables Lab
We have a 180m2 state-of-the-art Wearables Lab with all the equipment required to develop wearables. The entire product development cycle can be handled in-house: from idea to prototyping, to limited production (up to 100 pieces). For production at a larger scale, we have a reliable network of manufacturing partners.
Scrum
Our Scrum working method allows us to accurately predict progress and costs, while keeping a strong emphasis on the end user. It also means we can quickly identify and fix defects.
