Byteflies

Midtown’s garment district has long doubled as a quiet hub for precision engineering—somewhere between the fabric showrooms and sample sales, you’ll find Byteflies. The company specializes in wearable medical sensors that stream real-time vitals without tethering patients to monitors. Their devices track ECG, respiration, temperature, and movement, all while fitting into the kind of discreet patches that disappear under a hospital gown or a daily T-shirt.

Offices occupy the ninth floor at 530 7th Ave Suite 902, New York, NY 10018, a building where the elevator banks smell faintly of garment bags and the corridors narrow just enough to make you check the suite number twice. The neighborhood itself is a study in contrasts: delivery bikes weave past mannequins in storefront windows, and the lunch-hour crowd toggles between power salads and power circuits.

Medical tech manufacturers rarely keep storefront hours, but they do field calls about pilot studies, regulatory filings, and custom integrations. If you’re coordinating a clinical trial or troubleshooting a firmware update, the number to dial is (401) 326-4146. Conversations tend to pivot quickly from Bluetooth latency to Institutional Review Board timelines, so it helps to have your protocol number handy.

For anyone mapping the route, directions are easiest pulled from this pin—just don’t mistake the garment-district security desk for the receptionist. The place runs lean; if you’re early, the coffee cart on the corner sells decent cold brew while you wait.
