Who We Are

Where Science meets Physiology

Ion Technologies operates at the intersection of materials science and human physiology. Our work begins with a simple but powerful premise: the body is bioelectric, and the skin is an active surface where meaningful biological signaling occurs.
We develop material architectures designed to interact with that environment — not as a device attached to the body, but as an interface that engages naturally, continuously, and comfortably.

Our Foundation

Two Decades of
Bioelectric Innovation

Ion Technologies is built on over two decades of expertise in bioelectric medicine, dermatology, and wound care. Dr. Scott Sheftel and Jeff Skiba have collaborated for more than 20 years, developing patented microcurrent technologies that translate clinical science into practical wearable and wound care solutions.

Their work spans early applications for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), where microcurrent’s effects on sweat gland function were demonstrated, to the development of ZnTech™ for performance textiles and advanced wound care. The result is a platform rooted in scientific research, clinical experience, and real-world innovation.
