Neuranics Highlights Magnetic Sensing Innovation at Scotland’s Leading Tech Event

On 5 June 2025, Neuranics CEO Noel McKenna took the stage at DIGIT Expo West, one of Scotland’s leading technology showcases hosted at the SEC in Glasgow. The event gathered leaders from across digital innovation, AI, data, and emerging technologies, attracting participants from across the UK and beyond.

With this year’s focus on next-generation digital systems and the future of interaction, DIGIT Expo created a platform for forward-thinking companies to share ideas, exchange insight, and highlight the role of technology in shaping tomorrow’s tech. It also reinforced Scotland’s growing reputation as a centre for innovation and home to globally ambitious tech companies.

In his session, Noel introduced magnetic sensing as a powerful alternative to traditional electrical and optical bio signal methods. He shared how Neuranics is building an integrated solution capable of capturing muscle and heart activity in real time. These systems are already being explored for use in gesture control, wearable health diagnostics, and extended reality (XR).

The talk looked at how precision magnetic sensing enables more intuitive, contact-free interfaces by reducing dependency on electrodes or light-based components. Noel opened up discussion around adoption pathways, performance considerations, and the engineering work required to bring these capabilities into everyday devices.

DIGIT Expo West also provided an opportunity to connect with Scotland’s wider tech ecosystem, from early-stage startups to enterprise leaders. It offered a space to show how companies like Neuranics are translating decades of research into practical, scalable sensing solutions.

Scotland is building a new generation of globally focused technology companies. Events like DIGIT Expo West help amplify that momentum and create the connections needed to move bold ideas from lab to market. Conversations continued well beyond the session, as attendees explored where magnetic sensing fits into the future of human-machine interaction.
