About us

Whatever your need is, I apply my wealth of experience into delivering the best possible solution for you. With confidence, I bring more relevant experience to inform your design than any other consulting source. Advancements in stick-to-skin applications is a recent development, and I have spent my years of experience at the forefront: redefining the limits of what is possible in long term adhesion between a device and the body.

While developing the Zio patch at iRhythm, I developed deep relationships with material suppliers and converters to drive technological advances supporting wearable device design. I bring a deep technical understanding of the upstream processes to flexible adhesive and film assemblies - from development and creation of adhesive rolls to converting complex multi-layered assemblies with challenging material and dimensional requirements. You can trust me as a reliable source to ensure your web-converted component is capably designed for mass production.

Advanced materials and processing capabilities are available to everyone. The Zio patch is the standard of long-term skin adhesion because components are specifically designed to maximize the interaction of the properties of each for the application of prolonged chest based ECG monitoring - with 10+ patents as a result. With the advancements marketed in the most recent platform of Zio monitor, studies support continuous wear duration of up to 30 days.

This is just one application.

Each wearable design offers unique potential to innovate novel solutions so that a device performs optimally against the metrics that matter most to its use case. Help your product reach its full potential by hiring the expert with a track record of success.
