Mudra Link as a Category Benchmark

While many companies are still refining prototypes or preparing for anticipated launches, Wearable Devices’ Mudra Link is already shipping to consumers, giving the company a first-to-market advantage that few can claim. As of 2025, most competing neural input products, particularly EMG wristbands being developed by major tech firms, remain in R&D phases or limited pilot testing. This means that while upcoming products may generate headlines, Mudra Link stands as the category benchmark, offering tangible value to consumers today.

The Mudra Link has already won industry recognition for its innovation, including awards in wearable technology and XR technologies and accessories. Its availability across platforms further distinguishes it from rivals whose products are often limited to proprietary ecosystems. This combination of cross-platform support, commercial availability and award-winning design positions Mudra Link as both a consumer-ready solution and a compelling value proposition for investors looking at early leaders in the neural input space.

By moving beyond concept demonstration and emphasizing real-world usability, WLDS has created a durable moat in a field where competitors are largely promising future capabilities. Mudra Link embodies the company’s vision to deliver neural input solutions that are functional, practical and ready for everyday adoption.

Multiplatform Compatibility Driving Adoption

One of Mudra Link’s standout features is its broad compatibility, a significant advantage in a fragmented device ecosystem. Unlike other wearables that are tethered to their manufacturer’s ecosystem, Mudra Link works seamlessly across Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and even leading augmented reality glasses brands. This makes it appealing not only to early adopters but also to professionals and enterprises seeking flexible tools for hybrid workflows and immersive computing.

For consumers, this means they can use the Mudra Link to control a laptop during work hours, switch to an iPhone for personal communication, and then integrate with AR glasses for entertainment or enterprise training—all without changing devices or interfaces. In contrast, many competitors lock users into siloed environments, reducing the utility of their wearables.

By enabling seamless cross-platform interoperability, Wearable Devices is creating a bridge between today’s digital tools and tomorrow’s immersive ecosystems. This flexibility reinforces its reputation as a pioneer that prioritizes user freedom and practical adoption over brand exclusivity.

Leadership and Foundational IP Portfolio

A key strength of Wearable Devices is its seasoned leadership team, which brings an impressive combination of expertise in an array of key sectors. Under their guidance, the company has not only commercialized breakthrough products but also secured a robust intellectual property position.

Asher Dahan, cofounder and CEO, brings long-standing leadership and vision, having guided the company’s launch of both the Mudra Band and Mudra Link as consumer-ready gesture products from concept to market. As cofounder and chief scientific officer, Guy Wagner shapes the company’s scientific and strategic direction, spearheading proprietary neural-sensing technologies that underpin the company’s core IP.

Leeor Langer, chief technology officer and also cofounder, transforms these innovations into scalable, production-ready platforms and oversees engineering development. He has advanced proprietary AI models for biosignal interpretation, including neural pattern recognition, gesture classification and adaptive real-time systems for edge devices.
