CurioNext is a deep-tech company developing intelligent wearables for child safety, well-being and sound awareness. Incubated through the IIT Madras Incubation Cell and based at IITM Research Park in Chennai, the company focuses on making technology practical and comfortable for everyday use. Its approach combines inputs such as motion, skin temperature, pulse, sound, contact and steps, with an emphasis on useful on-device inference within the power limits of all-day wear.

The product range includes Curio X, a child safety and well-being wearable designed for the wrist, and Vibe, a sound-awareness wearable for deaf and hard-of-hearing users. CurioNext also offers accessories and invites enquiries about partnerships and its products. The company says it has filed two patent applications relating to its underlying work and has been recognised as a startup by India’s Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade.

CurioNext describes durability as its own design standard, not an externally certified claim. Its stated sustainability targets include recycled enclosure materials, a user-replaceable battery, product take-back and refurbishment, and plastic-free packaging.
