Melbourne, Australia, 24 March 2026 – dorsaVi Limited (ASX: DVL) (“dorsaVi” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that development has commenced on Sensor V6.5, a significant firmware upgrade to the Company’s existing wearable sensor platform that introduces neuromorphic-capable, on-sensor intelligence for the first time.
V6.5 represents a meaningful step forward in dorsaVi’s Intelligence at the Ultra Edge strategy, moving computation progressively closer to the point of sensing, reducing reliance on edge devices and cloud platforms, and laying the firmware and architectural groundwork for the full integration of RRAM and neuromorphic compute in future hardware generations.
Critically, V6.5 is delivered as a firmware upgrade to the existing sensor hardware. This means the capability enhancement reaches dorsaVi’s current commercial client base including the Select Medical Physical Therapy network, the Dr. Patel elite sport program, and the SEROMA European clinical study without requiring hardware replacement.
Where We Are Today: Sensor V6.0
The current Sensor V6.0 platform captures high-fidelity movement data at the sensor level, with analytics and intelligence primarily derived on edge devices or through cloud-based processing. This architecture has underpinned dorsaVi’s commercial deployment to date, supporting FDA- and TGA-cleared clinical assessments, real-time biofeedback and validated movement metrics across physical therapy, elite sport, workplace safety and clinical research.
However, as client requirements evolve toward real-time analytics, distributed clinical trials with reduced cloud dependency, and continuous monitoring, the demand for intelligence to reside closer to the sensor is increasing. V6.5 represents the Company’s response to this shift.
Sensor V6.5: What Changes and Why It Matters
The V6.5 firmware upgrade introduces four foundational enhancements to the existing sensor platform:
-
On-sensor processing: selected analytics and signal interpretation will now occur directly within the wearable sensor hardware, reducing the latency inherent in transmitting raw data to an edge device or cloud platform for processing.
-
Enhanced embedded processing capability : the upgraded firmware expands the computational headroom available within the existing sensor hardware, enabling more sophisticated real-time signal analysis at the sensor level.
-
Neuromorphic-ready architecture : the firmware framework is specifically designed to support integration of elements of dorsaVi’s neuromorphic IP within the sensor processing environment. This is the first time the Company’s sensor platform has been architected to accommodate neuromorphic processing.
-
Foundation for Ultra-Edge Platform 1.0: V6.5 establishes the firmware and processing foundation for dorsaVi’s next-generation sensor hardware (Ultra-Edge Platform 1.0), where sensing, processing and decision-making increasingly occur within the wearable device itself.
The result is a sensor that begins to think, not merely measure.

Existing Clients as Direct Beneficiaries
Because V6.5 is delivered as a firmware upgrade to the existing sensor hardware, dorsaVi’s current commercial client base is positioned to benefit from enhanced on-sensor intelligence without hardware replacement.
Select Medical Network — 100+ US Physical Therapy (physiotherapy) Sites
The Select Medical Physical Therapy operates across >1,900 sites in the United States with >100 sites currently using dorsaVi’s technology. V6.5’s on-sensor processing capability reduces the latency between movement capture and clinical insight, improving the responsiveness of real-time biofeedback during patient assessments and enabling more seamless clinical workflows across the network.
Dr. Patel Program — Elite Sport and Military Applications
The Dr. Patel commercial project is specifically focused on delivering live, in-game biomechanical metrics for elite athletes. V6.5’s on-sensor intelligence is directly aligned with this requirement — reducing the latency between movement event and metric delivery, and establishing the neuromorphic-ready architecture that will ultimately enable sub-millisecond, reflex-speed injury detection as the platform matures toward UltraEdge Platform 1.0.
SEROMA — European Clinical Research
The SEROMA study for Axial Spondyloarthritis spans six European clinical sites. On-sensor processing reduces the cloud dependency that creates standardisation and data sovereignty challenges across multi-site, multigeography trials. V6.5 moves dorsaVi closer to a sensor that generates validated, regulatory-ready metrics at the point of assessment, with no cloud infrastructure required.

V6.5 as a Stepping Stone: The Path to Full RRAM and Neuromorphic Integration
V6.5 is not the destination but is the next deliberate step on a clearly defined technology pathway. The firmware and architectural foundations established in V6.5 are specifically designed to accommodate the progressive integration of dorsaVi’s RRAM and neuromorphic IP as those capabilities mature through the ITRI/NTU 22-nm program.
The January 2026 ITRI collaboration targets compute-in-memory efficiency exceeding 20 TOPS/W at the 22nm node, a capability that when integrated into a future sensor hardware generation, will enable the UltraEdge Platform 1.0 envisioned in dorsaVi’s roadmap. V6.5 ensures that when that hardware generation arrives, the firmware and processing architecture are already in place to support it.
This stepping-stone approach is deliberate: rather than waiting for full RRAM integration before delivering enhanced capability to clients, dorsaVi is advancing the intelligence of its current platform now generating commercial value in the near term while building toward a transformative hardware architecture for the medium term.
European Robotics Regulation: Why V6.5 Architecture Matters
Europe is in the process of establishing comprehensive regulatory frameworks governing AI and autonomous systems including the EU AI Act and emerging standards for autonomous medical devices and robotic systems. A central requirement across these frameworks is that AI inference occurs in a validated, auditable, and increasingly on-device manner. Cloud-dependent systems, where data is transmitted and processed remotely, face growing regulatory scrutiny in safety-critical, medical and industrial contexts.
V6.5’s neuromorphic-ready, on-sensor processing architecture is directly aligned with this regulatory direction. By moving computation progressively closer to the sensor itself, reducing cloud dependency and enabling validated metrics to be generated at the point of measurement, dorsaVi is building a sensor platform whose architecture mirrors what European regulators are increasingly requiring of intelligent medical and autonomous systems.
This matters for two reasons. First, dorsaVi’s existing European presence through the SEROMA clinical study across six sites, with the backing of the ASAS research community and three global pharma groups, gives the Company an established foothold in the European clinical network at precisely the moment these regulatory frameworks are taking shape. Second, the biomechanical data generated by dorsaVi’s sensors such as spinal mobility vectors, lower-limb joint angles, movement signatures under load, are the precise data categories that European humanoid and rehabilitation robotics developers require to train, validate, and certify their locomotion systems under emerging EU standards.
The combination of V6.5’s on-sensor architecture, dorsaVi’s clinically validated data, and the Company’s active European clinical partnerships positions dorsaVi as a credible technology partner for the European robotics and medical AI ecosystem at a moment when regulatory frameworks are creating clear demand for exactly what dorsaVi is building.
Cobot Compatibility: A Strategic Direction Under Exploration
Beyond data supply to third-party robotics developers, the Company is actively exploring the potential for dorsaVi’s sensor platform to serve as the movement intelligence layer within collaborative robot (cobot) systems. Traditional robots are focused on fast, powerful and often fenced off movements, whereas a Cobot system is interactive, flexible, and safety-focused, allowing for safer interaction with and around humans.

A cobot built on dorsaVi’s V6.5 sensor architecture would be uniquely differentiated: rather than relying on external cameras, GPS, or generic IMUs, it would sense and interpret human movement in real time, ondevice, at clinical grade — enabling a level of human-machine interaction fidelity that current cobot platforms do not achieve.
The requirements of a cobot’s movement sensing and response system map directly onto V6.5’s capability profile: on-sensor processing for low-latency response, neuromorphic-ready architecture for adaptive, eventdriven inference, and clinically validated movement metrics for safe and precise human interaction. As the platform matures toward Ultra-Edge Platform 1.0 — with native RRAM and full neuromorphic compute — the case for dorsaVi-powered cobot intelligence strengthens further.
This is a strategic direction the Company is exploring, not a committed product roadmap. However, management believes the architectural alignment between V6.5 and cobot system requirements is sufficiently compelling to warrant active investigation and that dorsaVi’s combination of clinically validated sensors, on-device intelligence, and human movement expertise represents a genuinely differentiated foundation for this application.
CEO Commentary
Mat Regan, Group CEO of dorsaVi, commented:
“V6.5 represents a significant step for dorsaVi — it is the first time on-sensor intelligence has been introduced into our wearable sensor platform, and it signals clearly that Intelligence at the Ultra Edge is no longer a future concept. It is beginning to be deployed within our existing hardware, for our existing clients.
The firmware-based upgrade approach is also strategically important. Our Select Medical network, Dr. Patel program and SEROMA clinical study do not need to wait for new hardware to begin benefiting from on-sensor intelligence. This provides a meaningful commercial advantage.
As our RRAM and neuromorphic capabilities mature through our ITRI collaboration and are integrated into Ultra-Edge Platform 1.0, the firmware and processing foundations we are establishing today will already be in place. We are sequencing this deliberately — delivering near-term client value while building toward longer-term platform transformation.”
