Professional Wearable Solutions for Real-World Behaviour Insight
2M Engineering develops wearable solutions for activity and sleep monitoring in applications where accuracy, long-term reliability and real-world validity matter. Our work supports medical, rehabilitation, research and professional sports use cases, where understanding daily behaviour is essential for better outcomes.
We design wearable systems that go beyond raw data, translating motion and physiological signals into meaningful, interpretable information — directly on the device or within connected systems.

What We Enable
Activity and sleep monitoring is not just about counting steps or hours in bed. Our solutions are designed to support:
- objective insight into daily behaviour
- long-term monitoring in real-world conditions
- use in clinical studies, rehabilitation and professional environments
- low user burden and high compliance
We develop wearables that are small, robust, energy-efficient and validated, suitable for continuous monitoring outside controlled lab settings.
Technical Building Blocks
Our activity and sleep monitoring solutions are built on a set of proven technical capabilities that can be combined or adapted depending on the application.
Miniaturisation & Wearability
We design compact, lightweight devices that can be worn discreetly for extended periods, supporting high compliance in daily life and clinical studies.
Embedded Activity & Sleep Algorithms
Rather than streaming raw data continuously, we implement validated embedded algorithms that classify activity and sleep states directly on the device. This reduces power consumption, data volume and system complexity while improving robustness.
Low-Power System Design
Long battery life is essential for meaningful monitoring. Our low-power architectures enable continuous use over weeks rather than days, even in compact form factors.
Wireless Connectivity
We design wearable systems using BLE and other wireless technologies (NFC, Zigbee, LoRa, WiFi, cellular where relevant), including time-synchronised multi-sensor configurations.
From Research to Certified Product
We support the full trajectory from research prototype to certified, manufacturable product, including regulatory preparation and production under ISO13485 where required.
Reference Platform: Activ8 Activity & Sleep Monitor
A concrete example of our approach is the Activ8 platform, a professional activity and sleep monitoring solution that has been used for more than a decade by universities, hospitals, rehabilitation centres and OEM partners.
Activ8 demonstrates how embedded algorithms, low-power design and validated measurement can be combined into a simple, robust wearable suitable for both research and applied use.
Key characteristics
- second-by-second embedded activity classification
- activity and sleep monitoring using a single device
- long-term continuous measurement (up to ~60 days)
- compact, waterproof, biocompatible design
- open interfaces for integration into third-party systems
Activ8 serves both as a standalone solution and as a foundation for OEM and custom developments.

OEM & Custom Solutions
Many activity and sleep monitoring products developed by 2M and its partners build upon the Activ8 architecture or its underlying building blocks.
We support:
- adaptation of existing platforms for new use cases
- integration into larger medical or sports systems
- development of fully custom wearables based on similar principles
Our OEM approach allows partners to reduce development time and technical risk while retaining full control over branding, application logic and market positioning.

Selected Activity & Sleep Monitoring Projects
Our experience in this domain includes projects such as:
- professional activity and sleep monitoring devices
- rehabilitation and home-care monitoring solutions
- sports performance and behaviour tracking
- posture and movement feedback systems
These projects illustrate how activity and sleep monitoring can be applied across different domains using a shared technical foundation.
