What is QUS

QUS captures the human body's vital signals with precision and turns them into intelligence.

For performance. For safety. For identity.

QUS is a deep-tech company specializing in smart textile technology. We integrate conductive yarn into smart textiles to capture vital signals continuously and under real-world conditions.

Our On Board Unit adds motion data, storage and transmission — delivering a precise stream of human biometric intelligence across performance, safety and identity.

QUS  /  Technology

One system. Body to decision.

A washable smart textile that reads the body. An On Board Unit that docks at the neck. A platform that turns the signal into decisions. QUS owns every link in the chain.

The Platform

One system. Four components. All shipping today.

An end-to-end, plug-and-play biometric platform — textile sensor, on-body unit, app and live dashboard. A deployed product line, not a prototype. Tap a component to inspect it.

Component 01
Textile Sensor
Conductive yarn woven into the garment reads clinical-grade ECG heart rate & respiratory rate.
Component 02
On-Board Unit
Central collection & communication hub — on-device storage, GPS, motion & acceleration.
Component 03
App
Live athlete / operator interface — real-time vitals, threshold alerts and session history.
Component 04

Fleet-wide live monitoring for coaches, commanders & safety officers — trends & analytics.
Component 01 · Textile Sensor
The garment is the sensor
Conductive yarn is woven directly into a fully washable textile — 100% washable, validated for 200+ wash cycles. It captures clinical-grade ECG heart rate and respiratory rate plus external temperature, and can be customised in cut and colour for integration into existing garments.

01 · Capture

The garment is the sensor.

Conductive yarn is woven directly into the textile — no rigid modules, no chest strap, no adhesive electrodes. The wearer puts on a shirt. Everything else is invisible.

Fully washable
Machine washable like any performance garment. The sensor survives the laundry.
Validated against ECG
Signal quality benchmarked against clinical ECG and spirometry reference instruments.

One click at the neck. That's the setup.

The On Board Unit docks magnetically to the garment. It adds motion and position data to the textile's vital signal, stores it on board, and transmits it live. 70 by 45 by 10 millimetres — the wearer forgets it's there.

03 · Analyse & Act

The QUS Performance Platform.

Signal arrives, gets processed, and becomes something a coach or commander can act on. Heart rate, respiration, body temperature and activity level — live, per person, across the whole team.

Live vital streams
Heart rate, respiration rate, body temperature, activity level — updating in real time.
Whole-squad view
Every athlete or operator on one screen. Spot the outlier before it becomes an incident.
Session history & trends
Compare across sessions to see load accumulate — and act before it breaks someone.
The full signal chain

No third parties. No integration risk.

Every layer — from the yarn in the fabric to the number on the dashboard — is built and controlled by QUS.

01
Capture
Conductive yarn in the garment reads cardiac and respiratory signal from the skin.
02
Process
The docked OBU adds GPS, acceleration and motion, then stores and transmits.
03
Analyse
Proprietary algorithms clean the signal and extract meaningful patterns.
04
Act
The platform delivers a decision — not a raw number — to the person who needs it.

Cardiac signal becoming a secure key — heartbeat as identity
Identity · Heartbeat ID

A heartbeat can't be stolen.

Every badge, PIN, token or face scan proves something for a single moment — then trusts whoever holds the device. Heartbeat ID makes identity a continuous stream, not a one-time event.

Continuous Non-replicable Revocable Zero-Trust native
The problem with every login
Authentication in use today verifies a moment. After that, it simply trusts.

Identity and access split apart the instant access begins. The person who authenticated and the person now holding the device are assumed to be the same — and that assumption is where the breach lives.

Heartbeat IDVerify continuously
An unbroken stream. The session ends the instant the signal changes.
How it works

Your cardiac signature, turned into a live identity stream.

Years of ECG data from QUS smart textiles became the foundation. The system learns the unique morphology of an individual's heartbeat — and verifies it continuously, in the background.

01
Sense
The garment reads the raw cardiac signal continuously against the skin.
02
Model
A mathematical model of the waveform is stored — never the raw ECG.
03
Verify
Identity is confirmed as a continuous data stream, not a single check.
04
Revoke
A different heartbeat ends the session — within the same interaction.
See it in action

Heartbeat ID, demonstrated.

Watch how a living cardiac signal becomes a continuous, non-replicable key.

Why it's different

Three properties no other method offers at once.

Liveness is intrinsic
A cardiac signal only exists while a living person is in contact. There is no static artefact to photograph, lift or replay.
Templates are revocable
What's stored is a mathematical model of the waveform — revocable, re-enrollable, and reusable in no other system.
Continuity is by design
Verification is a stream, not an event. A different heartbeat ends the session inside the same interaction — no gap between login and logout.

One platform, four regulated markets

Not a wearable market. Four security markets.

All four are pushed upward by regulation and geopolitics — NIS2, GDPR Art. 9, eIDAS 2.0, FIPS. Compliance isn't a cost here; it's the reason defence and banks are allowed to buy at all.

Performance
Elite sport — the proving ground where the cardiac dataset was built.
Defence
Authenticated rescue, soldier systems, continuous access in the field.
Industrial safety
Personnel monitoring and access control in high-risk environments.
Fintech
Continuous device & age verification — the highest-margin stream.
Concrete, named, quantified

The demand is projects, not market studies.

01
Continuous device & age verification
A concept study with a global Japanese consumer-goods group extends Heartbeat ID to a mass-market device: ownership and age verified continuously during use, not once at unlock. The gateway to the highest-margin revenue stream.
Consumer · Concept study
02
Vital monitoring for plant fire brigade
A pilot with a leading oil & gas group in Saudi Arabia ran successfully in July 2026. The customer's target picture: equipping the entire 1,600-strong fire crew. The one open point — mobile connection stability — is exactly what OBU 3.0 addresses.

Autonomous casualty detection & authenticated rescue
A concept for forces in Israel fuses physiological and motion data to detect life-threatening events autonomously. Heartbeat ID ensures rescue resources are committed only for authenticated own forces — an adversary with a captured device can't trigger false alarms.
Defence · In pipeline
In short

What Heartbeat ID really is.

01
QUS is not a wearable company. It's an infrastructure layer for human-centred data systems.
02
The smart shirt isn't the product. It's the proof that the measurement holds.
03
Heartbeat ID doesn't answer "who unlocked?" but "who is holding the device right now, this second?"
04
The proprietary cardiac dataset grows with every textile shipped. That's the part a competitor cannot buy.
05
No competitor offers continuous, body-bound authentication at enterprise scale today.
