A Classic Technology Transfer Story Pressure Profile Systems, Inc. was founded in 1996 to design, develop, and manufacture high performance multi-element pressure and tactile sensing systems by commercializing research that began at Harvard University. Core Technology Development 1996-1999 Our distributed tactile pressure measurement technology was developed with the help of government grants, including the Defense Advanced Research Agency, the Army Research Lab, and the National Institute of Health. Other elements of our technology, such as our discrete tactile sensing pads, were developed through industry and university collaborations. Applied Research & Development 1999-2002 PPS technology capabilities were expanded through project collaboration with innovative organizations such as NASA, MIT and Schick-Wilkinson Sword. New developments included increased software capabilities, faster scan-rates and new sensor material capabilities Commercial Technology Development 2002-Present Currently, Pressure Profile Systems is applying this innovative technology to applications where it provides the most benefit as highlighted in the case studies. Our strategy is to provide the best tools for engineers and researchers by collaborating with them and to partner with application companies to embed our technology into their products
