P&G unveils HapSense sensor for advanced skincare analysis

The sensor can capture real-time data independent of user perception.

Proctor & Gamble Singapore Innovation Centre (P&G SgIC) has partnered with Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) to launch Hapsense, a wearable skin sensor for analysing skincare cosmetic products.

In a joint statement, the parties said this technology can assist scientists in analysing data regarding the effects of different products through the years to accurately guide product formulation and personalisation of skincare regimes for various skin types and demographics.

HapSense can capture real-time data on friction and pressure independent of consumers’ perceptions.

HapSense was formed like a signet ring to be worn on a fingertip, whilst its sensor component is attached to a smartwatch-like module, allowing users to do skin analysis in their homes.

The sensor was revealed in commemoration of P&G SgIC's tenth-anniversary event.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
