Technology to measure, actuate and optimize human movement.
A technological infrastructure that senses, actuates and models human movement — enabling the creation of its digital twin. Uma infraestrutura tecnológica que mede, atua e modela o movimento humano — viabilizando a criação do seu Digital Twin.
It is the engineering layer where sensing, actuation and intelligence converge into one system architecture. É a camada de engenharia onde sensing, actuation e intelligence convergem numa única arquitetura de sistema.
It creates the technical foundation for scalable applications where data, interaction, modeling and intelligence operate as one stack. Cria a base técnica para aplicações escaláveis, onde dados, interação, modeling e intelligence operam como um único stack.
Biomechanical sensing technologies capture motion, force and neuromuscular signals, creating the data foundation for modeling human movement. Tecnologias de sensorização biomecânica captam movimento, força e sinais neuromusculares, criando a base de dados para modelar o movimento humano.
Electromechanical actuation systems interact collaboratively with human movement, modulating force and resistance in real time to guide, adapt and optimize movement dynamics. Sistemas de atuação eletromecânica interagem de forma colaborativa com o movimento humano, modulando força e resistência em tempo real para orientar, adaptar e otimizar a dinâmica do movimento.
Dynamic 3D biomechanical modeling transforms movement data into computational representations of the human body, enabling predictive models of motor behavior. Modelação biomecânica dinâmica em 3D transforma dados de movimento em representações computacionais do corpo humano, permitindo a construção de modelos preditivos do comportamento motor.
Artificial intelligence learns movement patterns, anticipates behaviors and optimizes motor performance in real time. Sistemas de inteligência artificial aprendem padrões de movimento, antecipam comportamentos e otimizam a performance motora em tempo real.
The platform operates across domains where human movement can be measured, understood and influenced.
Recovery becomes precise, guided and quantifiable. The platform enables controlled interaction with movement, transforming rehabilitation into a measurable and adaptive process.
Human performance becomes measurable, adaptive and continuously optimized. Real-time sensing and actuation dynamically regulate load, movement and response — reducing injury risk and enabling a new paradigm of data-driven training.
Everyday training becomes structured, responsive and continuously guided. Movement adapts in real time through sensing and actuation — reducing injury risk and enabling a more intelligent approach to physical wellbeing.
Human capability can be extended beyond its natural limits. By integrating sensing, actuation and modeling, the platform enhances strength, control and neuromuscular response in high-demand environments.
In Industry 4.0, value is born from orchestration — not from isolated technologies.
The same principle applies here.
At Twin Factory, six disciplines converge into a single stack. The output is not a list of features — it is the Body Operating System [BoS]: a system that reads, models, simulates and acts on human movement.
Movement has never been truly measurable — until sensors became precise enough, connected enough and invisible enough to live on the body. IoB is the evolution of IoT: not things connected, but the human body itself — readable, in real time, anywhere.
Conventional sensors sit on the body. Nanotechnology becomes the body — fibres engineered at molecular level that sense and stimulate neuromuscular activity without interrupting movement. The textile is the sensor. The skin is the interface.
Not a robot that replaces human movement — a system that works with it. The Cobot doesn't impose, it collaborates: generating load, applying FES stimulation, adjusting resistance in real time. It doesn't do the movement for you. It does it with you — and makes it better.
The human body is too complex and too individual for fixed protocols. AI runs millions of simulations to find the optimal intervention — calibrated for your body, at the exact instant of each movement. It anticipates injury, optimises performance and personalises recovery at a scale no human expert can match.
Not a static model — a living bridge. The Digital Twin mediates the continuous loop between the physical and the digital: the real body feeds the virtual model, the virtual model informs the real intervention, the intervention changes the body, and the body feeds the model again. Two worlds in constant dialogue.
Data alone doesn't change behaviour. Extended Reality translates invisible biomechanical information into experiences the body can understand, respond to and learn from — making the Digital Twin visible, tangible and actionable in real time.
Dynamic load: measures, acts, and adjusts.
A closed-loop system where sensing, actuation and control operate together in real time — turning movement into data, and data into action.
Conventional systems observe movement. H.Y.P.E. acts on it — introducing load, response and real-time adjustment.
Movement is no longer only measured. It becomes controlled, and it can be anticipated.

Passionate enthusiast of science, technology and sports — with a special love for mountain biking and snowboarding. With deep experience in Industry 4.0, where precision and data are essential, he asked:“Why not use these technologies to transform motor health?”Frustrated by the lack of objectivity in physical therapy after his own injury recovery, he founded Twin Factory to bridge that gap.
Na Twin Factory não apenas aplicamos tecnologias emergentes — nós as impulsionamos para além de seus próprios limites. A criatividade e o pensamento não convencional nos levam a usar a tecnologia fora de sua concepção. Ao fazer isso, não apenas construímos produtos melhores — expandimos o que a própria tecnologia é capaz de entregar.
Somos uma startup deep tech que desenvolve produtos inteligentes baseados nas tecnologias habilitadoras da Indústria 4.0. Com foco em saúde motora — transformamos reabilitação, fitness, performance e defesa militar por meio de dados, substituindo suposições por insights objetivos e mensuráveis com biodados reais.
Financiado pela União EuropeiaThe project develops new digital and technological products within the D2W Platform, aimed at measuring, actuating and modelling human movement. Its contracted result is one product or service with a strong digital/technological component and scalability potential. The operation is financed by the European Union — NextGenerationEU, through Portugal's Recovery and Resilience Plan, under the Vouchers for Startups measure managed by IAPMEI.
