Timex has announced a partnership with Pison, a technology company specializing in neural-sensing platforms, to develop brain-tracking wearables. The collaboration aims to integrate Pison’s electroneurography (ENG) platform into Timex’s products, enabling the measurement of physiological electricity originating from the brain using a skin biosensor. This technology, combined with AI-powered software algorithms, can provide insights into mental health, sleep, sports performance, and brain health. The partnership is expected to result in a new range of wearables, including smartwatches, that offer advanced neurocognitive tracking capabilities.

The new Timex wearables will feature Pison’s ENG biosensor, which has been miniaturized with the help of semiconductor experts STMicroelectronics to fit into consumer devices. These devices will monitor various aspects of neurocognitive health, such as sleep quality, stress levels, anxiety, and fatigue, providing users with actionable insights to improve their overall well-being. Additionally, the wearables will be capable of detecting signs of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and ALS, as well as assessing the impact of head injuries from contact sports. The collaboration between Timex and Pison represents a significant step forward in the development of smart wearables focused on brain health and cognitive performance.
