Lioness builds a vibrator with integrated biofeedback sensors that sense force, movement, and temperature to collect data on pelvic floor contractions and overall sexual response. The company uses that data to create visualizations such as the Artgasm music-visualizer, which turns anonymized orgasm sessions into pulsating art animations. Lioness positions itself as a data-centric sexual-health company aiming to educate women and couples through objective analysis and has received coverage from major outlets. The product debuted in August 2017 and the company shipped more than 1,000 preordered units while gearing up for further production. Lioness plans public displays of Artgasm (first at CES 2018) and to share the visualizations with users via its app starting in spring. The company is female-led, founded by a group of University of California, Berkeley graduates, and has seven employees.
