The design of a seat has a significant impact on its user—whether for patient health, in the case of a wheelchair, or driver safety, for a vehicle. At XSENSOR, our seat sensor technology captures, analyzes and visualizes the high quality of data to inform product design decisions, while bettering people’s lives.
XSENSOR’s seat sensor technology is offered through two solutions—our X3 Pro Systems and our ForeSite SS product. With its sensors, XSENSOR helps many users—from automotive designers to wheelchair users to healthcare providers—achieve their goals, by creating safer, more comfortable vehicles and improving patient outcomes.

Seat Sensor Overview
IMPROVE SEAT SENSING TECHNOLOGY
Seat Sensor Technology for Vehicle Design
With state-of-the-art seat sensor technology, XSENSOR’s X3 Pro System equips designers with detailed pressure measurements, informing their decisions for products that hold up reliably to testing. The seat sensor technology itself incorporates industry-leading LX sensors that measure pressure on both the back of the seat and the seat itself.
That same vehicle seat sensor technology—our X3 Pro System—can also be used to improve the ergonomics and safety of other tools and products, thanks to technology that provides solutions for issues from automotive controls through to load carrying.


ENHANCE USER COMFORT
Seat Sensor Technology for Wheelchair Seating
For wheelchair users and medical professionals, our seat sensor technology—also known as our ForeSite SS system—is the clinical market leader. Using an advanced pressure imaging system, each seat sensor works to reveal detailed, in-depth data and images that inform patient care for those in wheelchairs.
Wheelchair users are prone to pressure injuries, and our easy-to-use, accurate seat sensor technology uses advanced tools including anatomical markers, symmetry and compares views to keep those pressure injuries from occurring in the first place. Whether it’s comfort and safety for the patient—or ease and accuracy for medical professionals—our seat sensor technology is built for improving patient safety and outcome.
Seat Sensor Specifications and Performance
ForeSite SS seat sensor technology provides superior image quality and a cleanable, easy-to-read sensor for data that you can rely on (and repeat). Features include:
Our state-of-the-art LX series seating and ergonomics sensors provide accurate seat mapping data, equipping users to make informed product design decisions. Features include:
Reliable pressure sensors that measure with ±5% accuracy and do not need to be recalibrated. | |
Elevated pressure display, and advanced tools to evaluate symmetry and mark anatomical features. | |
Superior image quality with 1,296 sensing points—5x more than competing systems. | |
Touchscreen tablet, pre-installed software, and hassle-free wireless sensors. | |
Simple software for quick recording and comparing of seating designs, with easily transferable data and images. |
Sensor accuracy within 3% or less full-scale error after 100,000 loading cycles, making them ideal for long-duration or life cycle testing like seat ingress/egress. | |
