UrbanMan by K-Studio- Swiss smart Men's care protocol with biofeedback

Full Description — Project Cooperation

UrbanMan is an intelligent men’s care protocol, developed and tested in real-world conditions in Switzerland. It combines neurocosmetic formulations, physiological biofeedback (heart rate variability, breathing, muscle tone), and a codified, sober and measurable care experience.

Born in a pilot institute in Bussigny (VD), UrbanMan is currently being rolled out through a growing network of partner barbershops in French-speaking Switzerland. The concept is supported by a committed network of Swiss academic and industrial partners:
• Naturalps (cosmetic formulation)
• EdgeVital (physiological sensors)
• HEIA-FR (health engineering, scientific validation)
• HEIG-VD (CRM and business structuring)

Naturalps also offers a certified production capacity, enabling the gradual industrialization of the cosmetic line.

The protocol has reached TRL 6: tested in real conditions, and now in the field duplication phase.

What we are looking for at the Global Innovation Summit

We are seeking project-based cooperation to expand UrbanMan at a European level, through structured collaboration, co-development, and local anchoring.

Our key cooperation priorities
All technological components of UrbanMan follow a Privacy by Design approach, with data sovereignty considered a core value of the project.

1. Collaboration with innovation hubs, clusters and European ecosystems

We are looking for partners who can help us:
• Replicate the UrbanMan protocol in other countries with local support,
• Launch pilot projects in strategic locations (barbershops, institutes, wellness centers),
• Connect to specialized health, tech or cosmetic networks focused on men’s care,
• Identify credible distribution channels in key urban markets,
• Access European or bilateral co-funding mechanisms (health, tech, innovation),
• Offer a structured environment to support international scaling.

2. B2B tech or cosmetic partners

We are open to partnerships for:
• Co-development of new products (formulation, sensorial design, olfactive signature, digital interface),
• Progressive industrialization of field-tested solutions,
• Applied collaborations focused on real-world use and international rollout.

3. Acceleration of digital & connected care development

We are actively seeking partners to:
• Co-develop our digital MVP (mobile app, CRM, biofeedback interface),
• Integrate connected components or sensors aligned with Privacy by Design,
• Strengthen our data-driven care approach and track measurable impact.

4. Strategic support & scaling

We are interested in collaborations with:
• International incubators or accelerators in health, wellness or cosmetics,
• Impact investors or business angels providing not just capital (seed / pre-Series A), but networks and long-term strategic input,
• European programs supporting innovation, digital health, or bilateral cooperation.

Why partner with UrbanMan?
• The structured male wellness market is growing fast in Europe, yet remains under-addressed and overly feminized.
• UrbanMan meets a societal need: reducing men’s invisible mental load by offering accessible, measurable and normalized care.
• The protocol is scalable, data-backed, and built around real usage — validated by academic institutions.
• The solution is ready to internationalize, grounded in real-world results and strong local implementation.
• We are not looking for passive distributors, but for strategic allies willing to build a credible, sober, and forward-thinking men’s care model.

In Summary

UrbanMan is ready to scale internationally.

We are looking for project cooperation with European actors who want to:
• Build innovative solutions in an under-addressed market segment,
• Co-create a user-driven, intelligent care protocol,
• Amplify a Swiss innovation with measurable impact,
• Address a clear and growing market opportunity — together.
