Global Diet Crisis: We Can’t Improve What We Don’t Measure
What if there were a way to increase the chances of weight loss by 3.5X? The $590B weight-loss market would surely be interested. Well, there is: knowing what you eat. Food-tracking apps try, but fewer than 10% of users stick with it beyond a few weeks. Why? The small frictions of manually logging food wear us out. Meanwhile, no wearable device can automate it or measure critical eating behaviors like chewing speed, portion size, and emotional triggers. Until now.

Glasses That Do All the Hard Work
Sense is the first eyewear that automatically logs meals and eating behaviors. Our patented optical flow sensors track subtle muscle movements, automatically detecting eating behavior. Just put them on, and it’s like having a personal dietitian, 24/7.

The Smart Glasses Boom is Here to Stay
Big Tech's treating them as the next big thing after smartphones: Meta is already scaling to 10M Ray-Ban units annually. Apple and Google are racing in. But there’s still no “must-have” app. Sense delivers it. Where other wearables track fitness and sleep, the top driver of health, diet, is unsolved. As demand for sustainable alternatives or complements to GLP-1 drugs surges, the timing has never been better.

Backed by Research. Trusted by Experts.
Emteq’s patented facial sensors have been validated in 36 peer-reviewed studies and tested in real-world trials.
Frontiers in Psychiatry
A clinical study showed the glasses can detect how people respond emotionally, like smiling during happy moments or frowning during sad ones. People with depression showed fewer facial reactions, helping researchers spot signs of emotional blunting.
JMIR mHealth and uHealth
Researchers tested whether the glasses could detect chewing and meal patterns without relying on self-reports. Our tech identified when someone was eating with over 90% accuracy, offering a new way to study eating behaviors linked to weight gain and chronic illness.
IEEE Access
This study found that the glasses could identify facial expressions like smiling or frowning and daily movements like walking or sitting. Using safe, contact-free sensors and AI, they correctly recognized behaviors over 80% of the time.
From Diet Health to Emotion and Beyond
Our sensors fit into any smart eyewear and measure subtle facial muscle movements with extreme precision. By tracking 66.2 million data points a day, we’re also unlocking massive opportunities in emotions, behavior, sentiment, and XR. Far more than a diet product, you’re investing in the future of behavior-aware eyewear.
Diet
Helping people learn how and why they eat (and change it)
In the $590B global weight loss market, current wearable devices can’t automatically track the most important dietary information: what and how we eat. We deliver proven, behavior-changing assistance by detecting real-time inputs like bite frequency, eating pace, and user emotional states like stress, boredom, and distraction.
Personalized psychological support and insights
One in four people will experience a mental health disorder in their lives, yet half never get diagnosed. The reason? Self-reporting is inherently flawed, especially for conditions people may not know about. Our second product will use our facial sensors to bring emotional health tracking into the real world. By continuously and passively reading subtle expressions and tension, we will provide real-time insight into mood, emotional regulation, and stress, as well as earlier detection and support for issues.
The only wearable capturing emotional and physical performance in real time, anywhere
Most wearables track either movement or physiology. Emteq does both, and adds facial muscle sensing to capture the why behind every action. It measures attention, posture, gait, sitting and standing patterns, fatigue, distraction, and emotional response, in the same moment and in the real world. Researchers, coaches, and product teams get a high-resolution stream of data that connects behavior to intent, uncovering patterns lab studies miss. Understand how people move and how they feel, without relying on recall surveys.
Facial tracking and human computer interaction for high-fidelity avatars
OCOsense enables facial muscle signals to drive avatars and telepresence in real time--a core tech for future AR eyewear. Unlike solutions by Apple and Meta, Emteq’s technology requires no bulky head-mounted cameras, no constant video streaming, no lighting limitations, and no heavy battery. By capturing expressions at the source, we cut power draw by up to 80%, slash processing overhead, and deliver continuous performance from lightweight, discreet glasses.
Our Innovations Are Recognized by:
Patented Sensors Recognize Eating and Automatically Log It
Our patented sensor platform is the first to turn smart glasses into behavior-sensing devices by capturing thousands of subtle facial muscle movements in real time. This unlocks applications in health and wellbeing, medical research, consumer sentiment, and XR.

How Breakthrough Innovations Power Big Tech
Many of today’s breakthrough technologies began with startups like ours. When major tech companies need new capabilities such as facial data, emotion tracking, or input interfaces, they first look to acquire the innovators who have already built them versus taking the longer path of developing the solutions in-house.
Lesser-known companies are often acquired for a specific technology or function that larger companies want to incorporate into their product.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why invest in startups?
Regulation CF allows investors to invest in startups and early-growth companies. This is different from helping a company raise money on Kickstarter; with Regulation CF Offerings, you aren’t buying products or merchandise - you are buying a piece of a company and helping it grow.
How much can I invest?
Accredited investors can invest as much as they want. But if you are NOT an accredited investor, your investment limit depends on either your annual income or net worth, whichever is greater. If the number is less than $124,000, you can only invest 5% of it. If both are greater than $124,000 then your investment limit is 10%.
How do I calculate my net worth?
To calculate your net worth, just add up all of your assets and subtract all of your liabilities (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence). The resulting sum is your net worth.
What are the tax implications of an equity crowdfunding investment?
We cannot give tax advice, and we encourage you to talk with your accountant or tax advisor before making an investment.
Who can invest in a Regulation CF Offering?
Individuals over 18 years of age can invest.
What do I need to know about early-stage investing? Are these investments risky?
There will always be some risk involved when investing in a startup or small business. And the earlier you get in the more risk that is usually present. If a young company goes out of business, your ownership interest could lose all value. You may have limited voting power to direct the company due to dilution over time. You may also have to wait about five to seven years (if ever) for an exit via acquisition, IPO, etc. Because early-stage companies are still in the process of perfecting their products, services, and business model, nothing is guaranteed. That’s why startups should only be part of a more balanced, overall investment portfolio.
When will I get my investment back?
The Common Stock (the "Shares") of Emteq Labs (the "Company") are not publicly-traded. As a result, the shares cannot be easily traded or sold. As an investor in a private company, you typically look to receive a return on your investment under the following scenarios: The Company gets acquired by another company. The Company goes public (makes an initial public offering). In those instances, you receive your pro-rata share of the distributions that occur, in the case of acquisition, or you can sell your shares on an exchange. These are both considered long-term exits, taking approximately 5-10 years (and often longer) to see the possibility for an exit. It can sometimes take years to build companies. Sometimes there will not be any return, as a result of business failure.
Can I sell my shares?
Shares sold via Regulation Crowdfunding offerings have a one-year lockup period before those shares can be sold under certain conditions.
Exceptions to limitations on selling shares during the one-year lockup period:
In the event of death, divorce, or similar circumstance, shares can be transferred to:
• The company that issued the securities;
• An accredited investor;
• A family member (child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse or equivalent, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships).
What happens if a company does not reach their funding target?
If a company does not reach their minimum funding target, all funds will be returned to the investors after the close of the offering.
How can I learn more about a company's offering?
All available disclosure information can be found on the offering pages for our Regulation Crowdfunding offering.
What if I change my mind about investing?
You can cancel your investment at any time, for any reason, until 48 hours prior to a closing occurring. If you’ve already funded your investment and your funds are in escrow, your funds will be promptly refunded to you upon cancellation. To submit a request to cancel your investment please email: info@dealmakersecurities.com
How do I keep up with how the company is doing?
At a minimum, the company will be filing with the SEC and posting on its website an annual report, along with certified financial statements. Those should be available 120 days after the fiscal year end. If the company meets a reporting exception, or eventually has to file more reported information to the SEC, the reporting described above may end. If these reports end, you may not continually have current financial information about the company.
What relationship does the company have with DealMaker Securities?
Once an offering ends, the company may continue its relationship with DealMaker Securities for additional offerings in the future. DealMaker Securities’ affiliates may also provide ongoing services to the company. There is no guarantee any services will continue after the offering ends.
