OneView Clinical Research Software Overview

Hexoskin OneView is a clinical software platform that allows health professionals and researchers to design their own protocols and easily monitor their projects and studies.

Our community uses it to collect data from patients in occupational wellness programs, rehabilitation programs, and clinical trials.

Participants can use an app to follow a program's calendar, complete questionnaires and enter all kinds of data you need to track their progress and monitor the performance of your project.

On top of that, you'll find it easy to:

  • manage cohorts and calendars
  • monitor data quality and compliance
  • use study templates, standardized questionnaires and health reports
  • easily clone protocols to create new study arms or health programs
  • use the sizing tool to pick the right size shirt to onboard participants
  • export all data to other systems like Excel, R and SAS for biostatistics
  • the tools are available for Astroskin too!

Contact our team to see how we can support your program or study and access a free trial. We offer turnkey services for a wide range of projects, from protocol planning and design, to recruitment and study support, to biostatistics and endpoints.

Hexoskin @ HITLAB Innovators Summit 2023

This November at the HITLAB Innovators Summit at Columbia University in NYC we officially launched our new Hexoskin OneView platform for clinical research! For a long time we knew there was a need for better software to support digital biomarker development and clinical research with medical wearables.

We understand the needs of research organizations and clinical sites when it comes to onboarding participants, monitoring compliance and data quality.

So we did something about it.

OneView is the best solution for doing clinical research with Hexoskin and Astroskin wearables. It allows you to:

  • Manage cohorts and calendars
  • Monitor data quality and compliance
  • Use study templates, standardized questionnaires and data reports
  • Easily clone studies to create new study arms
  • Export all data to other systems like R and SAS for biostatistics

The platform also includes a mobile app for patient reported outcomes and participant tasks management.

On top of that, Hexoskin offers turnkey services for clinical trials: protocol planning and design, recruitment, study support, biostatistics and endpoints, etc.

OneView is already used today by a select group of research organizations and Pharma companies - who joined our beta program earlier this year - to run clinical trials with a decentralized or virtual component. Their feedback has been amazing and has helped us improve OneView to make it an essential research tool.

UNOOSA Webinar on Nov 9th 2023

The UNOOSA (United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs) has invited Hexoskin's CEO Pierre-Alexandre Fournier to speak about medical research conducted aboard the International Space Station with Astroskin wearable sensors.

The webinar entitled "From Space to Earth: Innovations enabling accessibility on Earth" was live on Thursday November 9th, 2023, you watch a recording of the event here.

 

There are less than 700 astronauts who have visited space from the time Yuri Gagarin reached orbit for the first time in 1961 to now in 2023. Most of these astronauts were selected to have none or few health conditions.

With space more accessible than ever, we expect thousands of people to visit space in the coming decades on suborbital and orbital flights. Many of these new astronauts who will visit space to work or as travellers will have health conditions or disabilities.

Health research conducted in the space station today  with Astroskin health sensors helps better understand the risks and mitigation strategies to make space more accessible. It also helps better understand the effects of aging on human performance: microgravity has effects on the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems analog to accelerated aging.

About the UNOOSA

The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) works to promote international cooperation in the peaceful use and exploration of space, and in the utilisation of space science and technology for sustainable economic and social development. The Office assists any United Nations Member States to establish legal and regulatory frameworks to govern space activities and strengthens the capacity of developing countries to use space science technology and applications for development by helping to integrate space capabilities into national development programmes.

Hexoskin at Biosensors for Medical Wearables 2023 in Boston: Non-adhesive, flexible wearable sensors for pulmonary medical applications

Hexoskin's co-founder and CEO Pierre-Alexandre Fournier has been invited this year again to talk about wearable vital signs monitoring and digital biomarker development at the Biosensors for Medical Wearables Conference in Boston, this October 23rd.

Vital signs sensors traditionally used for cardiac and respiratory monitoring involve adhesives or tape to keep sensors in place on the skin. Experience has shown there's a tradeoff between monitoring duration (1 to 14 days), and adhesive agressiveness, which can lead to skin rashes or wounds.

There's now a safer and more convenient way for patients to record long-term vital signs data needed for diagnosis or digital biomarker development: smart textiles. Hexoskin users have successfully demonstrated the advantages of using a form factor that patients like. Researchers have documented it in over 200 scientific papers.

Moreover, Hexoskin biometric shirts' respiratory sensors allow continuous pulmonary measurements previously hard or impossible to collect in real-world situations, outside laboratory environments. These sensors open a new era of research on diseases that have an impact on the pulmonary function.

In his talk, Fournier will describe medical applications of smart textile sensors for patients with respiratory diseases, as well as opportunities in research in cardiology, mental health and rare diseases. He will also share unique insights into Hexoskin's experience in space medicine research aboard the International Space Station.

Arab Astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi Participates in Astroskin Supported Research Aboard the International Space Station

Sultan Al Neyadi is an Emirati astronaut and one of the first two astronauts from the United Arab Emirates, along with Hazza Al Mansouri. As part of Expedition 69, he's participating in the longest Arab space mission in history!

Sultan Al Neyadi was launched into orbit February 26th, 2023 aboard SpaceX's Crew-6 mission, which was also carrying Astroskin resupply payload. He's involved in hundreds of scientific activities including 19 major scientific experiments for the UAE.

One of these experiments involves measuring his vital signs in the ISS space environment using the Bio-Monitor Astroskin wearable sensors system

Astroskin Abord the ISS

The Astroskin Bio-Monitor system first reached the International Space Station in December 2018, and has been commissionned by Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques in January 2019. The wearable vital signs monitoring system has since been used by astronauts to participate in one of the many ongoing research projects on human physiology in microgravity using the platform.

Astroskin is also used by hundreds of researchers on Earth to push the boundaries of medical knowledge.

Here's a list of space launches that carried Astroskin payloads as of June 2023:

  1. SpaceX CRS-16 (December 5th, 2018)

Notable Quotes

“So, we're working on different garments. We do have another product that has more sensors called the Astroskin that is being used in research, and that's the product that is being used in the space station right now for different research projects in microgravity. The Astroskin is the model Chris Hemsworth is wearing in Limitless.”

“Research groups we're working with have built the largest database of vital signs for many specific health conditions. So, there are a lot of things that will come out of it. And as I said earlier, we're not just building a product for single use. Eventually, we're going to add blocks to that platform so that it can be used for several types of disease, and it's going to become a great bundle for people with comorbidities.”
