Developers looking to create unique health and fitness applications that can be controlled using muscle input, might be interested in a new piece of hardware called the FlexR. Which has been designed to enable users to control technology using just their muscles.
FlexR integrates neuromuscular signal tracking with almost any hardware currently available such as smartphones, games consoles, fitness trackers, virtual reality and more. Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about this new open source platform that provides an entirely new way to control technology.
Remove the controller from the equation and interact with technology and the digital space directly. Current technology is inflexible, forcing you to utilize archaic keyboards and controllers to fully realize their capabilities. Now, you can remove that degree of separation between you and your tech to experience your content without delays or barriers.

FlexR is able to detect even the slightest muscle activity. Enter a completely new dimension of tech and human interaction.
The difference between FlexR and other movement sensing devices such as the Wii Fit or Xbox Kinect is that FlexR detects muscle contraction/relaxation and strength. Unlike gesture control devices like Myo, FlexR is applicable to ALL surface muscles!RehabFit is an interactive exercises system that allows you to improve your health while having fun playing engaging games.

RehabFit delivers workouts designed specifically towards your physique and your goals allowing you to achieve a more balanced physique. Many muscle and joint pains such as neck pain, shoulder pain, low back pain, knee pain are induced by an imbalance or weakness of certain muscle groups. The best long term solution to address these issues is to strengthen weak muscles, relax tight muscles, and improve precise muscle control in day-to-day movement.
