Executive Brief
Phantom Vision Limited is a MedTech innovator developing AI-driven, non-invasive wearable control systems for bionic limbs. Their core technology utilizes a multi-sensor fusion approach (surface EMG, muscle, and motion sensors) embedded in a wearable bracelet to reconstruct natural limb movement. Their primary engineering challenge lies in signal fidelity, sensor-to-skin interface stability, and the high-density processing required for real-time AI inference in a compact form factor.
Strategic Fit & Lead Score
Lead Score: 68 (Adjacent Tech / High-Performance Wearables)
Why this Score? While Phantom Vision is not a traditional "diamond" consumer, their reliance on high-precision sensing (electrodes) and on-device AI processing creates two critical bottlenecks:
- Electrode Degradation: Traditional metal electrodes (Ag/AgCl) suffer from skin-oil corrosion and impedance spikes, degrading AI signal quality over time. Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) is the gold standard for bio-compatible, low-impedance sensing.
- Thermal Throttling: Running complex AI motion-reconstruction models in a small wearable bracelet generates localized heat. 6C's PCD Heat Spreaders allow for higher clock speeds and smaller device footprints without overheating the user's skin.
6C Solutions Proposal
| Application Area | 6C Solution | Technical Value Prop |
|---|---|---|
| Neural/Muscle Sensing | BDD Thin-Film Electrodes | Boron Doped Diamond offers an extremely wide electrochemical window and low impedance. Unlike silver or steel, BDD is chemically inert to sweat/salts, ensuring "Day 1" signal SNR for years. |
| Edge AI Processing | PCD Thermal Spreaders | Thermal conductivity > 1800 W/mK. Integrating Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) under the AI SoC allows for passive cooling, enabling more complex limb-reconstruction algorithms without bulkier heat sinks. |
| Bio-Interface | SCD Protective Layers | For sensors requiring optical transparency (e.g., vascular/pulse tracking), Single Crystal Diamond provides 1nm Ra smoothness and extreme hardness, preventing scratches that interfere with sensor accuracy. |
| System Reliability | Direct Diamond Coating | 6C can coat non-standard substrate materials used in their bracelet chassis to improve structural rigidity and chemical resistance against long-term wear and tear. |
Engagement Hooks
- Technical Question: "How does the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of your bracelet's embedded electrodes change after 12 hours of continuous wear and sweat exposure? Would a transition from metal to Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) help stabilize your AI's motion-reconstruction accuracy?"
- Value Statement: "6C can provide Phantom Vision with bio-compatible, diamond-based electrode arrays that eliminate signal drift, ensuring your AI-based control systems maintain surgical precision for the lifetime of the prosthetic."
