We make the devices, and we answer for what they record.
Nexaform Labs started in 2009 with four people and a borrowed oscilloscope in Northeast Minneapolis. It now designs, builds and supports connected devices used by hospitals, labs and public agencies in four countries.
What we believe
Four ideas that settle most arguments in the building.
A reading is only as good as its record
Every measurement carries the device, firmware and calibration that produced it. Data without provenance is a rumor.
Gaps are shown, never smoothed
When a device misses something, it says so. We would rather lose a sample honestly than invent one quietly.
The person wearing it comes first
Comfort, battery life and how a device feels on day nineteen decide whether any of the rest matters.
Boring is a feature
A good week in the test chamber produces a folder in which nothing happens. We are proud of that folder.

How we got here
- 2009
- Ingrid Halvorsen and Marcus Oyelaran start Nexaform in a rented workshop in Northeast Minneapolis, building data loggers for university labs.
- 2012
- Fieldmesh G1 ships, first to a county public health department that needed vaccine fridge records it could trust.
- 2016
- The company moves to Theodore Wirth Parkway and builds its semi-anechoic chamber in the lower level.
- 2018
- Axon Sense 1, the first wearable, goes into a hospital at home program. Lattice OS becomes the common base for every device.
- 2021
- Formcloud replaces four separate device management tools, ours and customers', with one platform.
- 2024
- Corta, the insertable cardiac monitor, begins shipping. Axon Sense 2 reaches 100,000 patients.
- 2025
- A second lab opens in Saint Paul for production, sustaining engineering and failure analysis. Lattice OS 4 released.
- 2026
- Lattice OS 4 completes its independent safety assessment. Axon Sense 3 clears bench validation.
