Myant

Toronto-based Myant Inc. is developing the world's first Textile Computing platform by embedding state-of-the art biometric sensors and actuators into everyday clothing and textiles. This platform, called SKIIN, creates a continuous and seamless interface for human-computer interaction, and for the development of proactive solutions for health, wellness, athletic performance and more. In so doing, Myant, and its Textile Computing platform, offer an unprecedented medium to operationalize the consumerization of healthcare. The SKIIN platform can provide continuous tracking of health biometrics including electrocardiogram, atrial fibrillation vs normal heart rhythm, blood pressure, medication detection, sleep quality, slip and fall detection, temperature and activity monitoring. In addition, thanks to the bidirectional nature of Myanta's technology, SKIIN products can also transmit heat and electrical stimulus for rehabilitation purposes. These capabilities come together to form Myanta's SKIIN Textile Computing platform, enabling users to live healthier, more confident lives.
