Raw Description
Product | Linthin’s MetaCAFC product is a smart wearable device devices using electronic skin for real-time measurement and monitoring of ECG and EMG. It uses intelligent algorithms to evaluate and analyse analyze sports indicators and guide sports training. Key features include: | 1. ECG test, including displaying the original ECG; | 2. Heart rate test, giving average heart rate, maximum heart rate, resting heart rate and heart rate interval; | 3. Calculating calorie consumption; | 4. Original EMG test with sampling frequency up to 4KHz; | 5. RMS, iEMG and other algorithms; | 6. Muscle discharge total power algorithm and muscle fatigue algorithm; | 7. Timing of multiple muscle groups; | 8. Muscle exertion speed. | The electronic skin used by MetaCAFC can tightly attach to human skin to prevent signal collection distortion caused by sliding. Its innovative material formula keeps the resistance stable and maintains accurate signal collection even when sweating. | The front-end ECG, EMG, and breathing three-in-one integrated sensor is a high-precision bioelectricity acquisition device, in which the EMG acquisition reaches 4KHz and the ECG acquisition reaches 2KHz, making it the EMG and ECG product with the highest sampling rate in the industry. It uses double-layer algorithm calibration under the collar to ensure high data accuracy. The front end adopts IP67 waterproof technology, which can reach 30 atmospheres underwater for 24 hours without water leakage, with the and the total weight being is only 10g. The light weight and water resistance makes the product suitable for use in all scenes of sports and life. || Established in August 2022, Linthin Technologies Ltd is an innovative sports bioelectric technology company specialised in developing sports-medicine smart wearable devices and artificial intelligence big data systems in the Hong Kong Science Park. It practices R&D of innovative bioelectric systems with its proprietary algorithms, new materials and AI (artificial intelligence) automatic diagnosis technology. Inserting itself in the competitive sports, national fitness and sports rehabilitation market, as well as the human-machine interface market, Linthin provides total solutions integrating intelligent Internet of Things, platforms and applications. Its main product, MetaCAFC, is the first EMG wearable test device using electronic skin in China. | The R&D team of Linthin is led by Chairman Justin Zhao and Co-founder Dr. Greg Li, who are domain experts in the communication field and orthopaedic rehabilitation and sports medicine respectively. Half of the company's team have a master's degree or above, possessing scientific research capabilities in the fields of bioelectronics, sports physiology, sports rehabilitation, and electronic information. With the tenet of "inclusive sports technology, sharing a happy, healthy and high-quality life", Linthin hopes to improve the physical fitness of people through technology and promote scientific sports training so that Chinese people can live healthier and happier lives. | Description | Linthin develops innovative bioelectric systems for medical and sports wearable devices with its proprietary AI algorithm, material and 5G IoT technology.

Strategic Analysis

Executive Brief

Linthin Technologies is a high-tech sports medicine and bioelectronics firm specializing in high-fidelity wearable sensors. Their MetaCAFC platform utilizes "electronic skin" to capture high-frequency EMG (4kHz) and ECG (2kHz) signals. Their primary technical challenges involve maintaining signal integrity in high-moisture (sweat) environments, ensuring long-term electrode stability, and miniaturizing high-performance processing hardware within a 10g form factor.

Strategic Fit & Lead Score

Lead Score: 62/100 (Adjacent Tech / Strong Potential)

Why this Score? Linthin is a "Materials-First" wearable company. While they currently use conductive polymers/films for their electronic skin, the transition to Boron-Doped Diamond (BDD) electrodes represents the logical "end-game" for medical-grade wearables. BDD offers a wider electrochemical window and superior resistance to bio-fouling (sweat/oils) compared to traditional Ag/AgCl or carbon electrodes, directly addressing Linthin's core value proposition of "accurate signal collection even when sweating."

6C Solutions Proposal

Application Area 6C Solution Technical Value Prop
Next-Gen Electrodes BDD (Boron Doped Diamond) Thin Films Zero-Fouling Bio-sensing: BDD is chemically inert and does not polarize like metals. It maintains stable impedance in sweat-heavy environments, eliminating the "signal drift" Linthin aims to solve.
Multi-Modal Sensing BDD Electrochemical Sensors Lactate & Glucose Monitoring: Beyond EMG/ECG, BDD can detect biomarkers in sweat (Lactate) via electrochemistry. This allows Linthin to add "Metabolic Fatigue" to their "Muscle Fatigue" algorithms.
Thermal Regulation PCD (Polycrystalline) Heat Spreaders Skin-Safe High-Speed Processing: Linthin's 4kHz sampling requires significant on-chip processing. Diamond spreaders prevent "hot spots" on the 10g device, keeping skin contact temperatures within medical safety limits.
Durability / IP67 Nano-Diamond Protective Coatings Ultra-Hard Bio-interface: A thin diamond coating on the sensor face provides extreme scratch resistance and chemical immunity to salts/urea, extending the lifecycle of the "electronic skin."
R&D Capability Desktop MPCVD System Build In-house Material Synthesis: Provide Linthin with a custom reactor to develop their own proprietary diamond-doped conductive membranes for their next-gen "MetaCAFC" iterations.

Engagement Hooks

  • Technical Question: "Your MetaCAFC system achieves industry-leading 4kHz EMG sampling; have you encountered baseline impedance drift as salts and urea from sweat accumulate on your electronic skin interface over 24-hour periods?"
  • Value Statement: "6C can help Linthin bridge the gap between sports wearables and medical-grade diagnostics by integrating Boron-Doped Diamond (BDD) electrodes that offer the highest signal-to-noise ratio and bio-fouling resistance of any known material."
