ActLight

ActLight is a cutting-edge technology startup specializing in advanced sensor solutions. The company focuses on developing innovative photodiode sensors that measure vital signs such as heart rate, oxygen saturation (SpO2), and blood pressure. These sensors are primarily used in wearable health devices, providing accurate and real-time biometric data by analyzing the light reflected from the wrist.

ActLight's technology also extends to LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) systems, which are crucial for applications in mapping and self-driving vehicles. LIDAR uses laser light to create depth images by measuring the time it takes for the light to bounce back from objects. This helps in determining the distance to various objects, which is essential for navigation and obstacle detection in autonomous systems.

The company operates in the health tech and automotive markets, serving clients that range from wearable device manufacturers to automotive companies developing self-driving technology. ActLight's business model revolves around licensing its sensor technology to these manufacturers, allowing them to integrate ActLight's advanced sensors into their products.

ActLight makes money through licensing fees and royalties from the use of its patented sensor technology. By integrating their DPD (Dynamic Photo Diode) sensors with standard low-cost CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) technology, ActLight achieves high performance at a reduced cost. This cost-efficiency makes their sensors attractive to a wide range of clients looking for high-quality yet affordable solutions.

The company's DPD sensors are known for their high background light immunity and superior signal-to-noise performance, which means they require less light to function effectively. This results in significant energy savings and cost reductions for their clients.
