WearOptimo, an AI-native physiological intelligence company developing next-generation Microwearable sensors for continuous health monitoring, today announced that the company's Founder and CEO, Dr. Mark Kendall, will unveil a new embodiment of the company's sensor at the Abu Dhabi Future Health Summit, taking place at the ADNEC Centre in Abu Dhabi.

The embodiment designed with a sleek, minimal form factor represents the next evolution of WearOptimo's sensing platform which combines in-skin sensing with physiology-guided AI to provide a deeper, continuous understanding of an individual's physiological state, says a press release.

While conventional wearables rely largely on signals available at the skin's surface, WearOptimo's Microwearable interface reaches just a hair's width into the skin to capture multi-frequency, multi-channel bioimpedance signals, alongside temperature and motion. The company's proprietary AI engine is being developed to interpret these signals and translate them into individualized physiological insights across a range of health applications.

"This new embodiment represents an important step toward our vision of giving people a deeper understanding of what is happening within their bodies and ultimately helping them make more informed decisions about their health," said Dr. Mark Kendall, Founder and CEO of WearOptimo. "The Abu Dhabi Future Health Summit provides an ideal forum to unveil this technology and engage with leaders across health and technology on how advances in biosensors and AI can shape the future of health."

WearOptimo's sensing platform has previously demonstrated the ability to detect hydration-related physiological changes in a 45-participant clinical study. The Microwearable outperformed serum osmolality, the blood-based gold standard, in detecting mild dehydration, providing clinical validation of the company's differentiated sensing and AI approach.

About WearOptimo

WearOptimo is an AI-native physiological intelligence company creating a new paradigm for wearables. Its integrated technology platform is built with its proprietary "hardware" and native AI. Its Microwearable features pain-free microelectrodes that reach just a hair's width into the skin, capturing signals conventional surface wearables cannot access. WearOptimo's physiology-guided AI engine translates these signals into real-time, individualized insights, making the human physiological state continuously readable, predictive, and actionable. Hydration and heat-risk intelligence is the company's first application, beginning in elite sport, resources and defense – and also other markets – to where hydration and heat management are critical to performance and safety.
