Use the power of a lab in your smartphone

trinamiX’s solution is the unique combination of a miniaturized spectrometer and consumer applications. Our hardware module is small enough to fit into current consumer electronics while providing a full spectroscopic design. Performing a measurement will be as easy as pointing the smartphone to the skin. Based on these individual analyses, a user app provides real-time insights and tailored advice on how to improve the personal health and fitness condition.

Transform your smartphone into a hub of health insights with our NIR spectrometer

With our near-infrared spectroscopy solutions we empower consumers to reveal previously invisible health indicators with their smartphone and take control of their well-being anywhere, anytime. We make this possible with the development of the world's first NIR Spectrometer integratable into a smartphone, which runs on Qualcomm Technologies' latest Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 reference design and was first unveiled at the 2023 Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit.

Our miniaturized NIR module covers a wavelength range from 1-3µm and enables the comfortable, easy and non-invasive measurement of vital biomarkers. Instead of waiting for laboratory tests, our NIR module for mobile device provides valuable data on the moisture level of the skin and hair, the type of fabric used in textiles, or the state of our food instantly by placement of the phone. Together with smart apps, this innovative technology can provide consumers with well-founded, personalized recommendations and reliable insights in the fields of skin care, nutrition, and textiles, among many others.

Tailor-made solutions can be realized for different, even highly specialized applications: ideal for wearables, IoT devices and other household and consumer electronics.
