Graphene Trace

Graphene Trace is a UK-based startup that was founded in 2020 to develop graphene-based e-textiles embedded with sensors, for applications like ulcer reduction and wheelchair monitoring.

Graphene Trace’s mission is to empower wheelchair users and hospitals to protect against pressure ulcers by developing a smart pressure sensing fabric that continuously monitors user pressure distribution and sends alerts when there is an increased risk of developing a pressure ulcer. The startup believes its proprietary technology for wheelchair users and hospital inpatients could reduce pressure ulcer onset by up to 95%.
