AI and the Future of Health
Hexoskin was founded in 2006 to solve healthcare challenges related to population aging. Since then, our team has contributed to science & society by creating analysis and prediction algorithms, and our platform has been used to generate high-resolution data for clinical research, space medicine, and elite athletes.
Hexoskin's vision, from its inception, was to create Artificial Intelligence models (AI) and make health data more accessible and useful. Better data and intelligence facilitate prevention, prediction, and management of chronic conditions to reduce hospitalization rates and provide better patient outcomes for a given budget. It helps patients and providers better communicate.
However, healthcare AI needs relevant and accurate data to learn from. This means you need a digital infrastructure that measures health where and when it matters, and makes data accessible for analysis. This is why we've designed the Hexoskin Smart Garment platform: to collect user's cardiac, respiratory, and physical activity information. We've built convenient tools to get good data from active and chronic patients. We believe good design makes it easier for users to provide the data AI needs to be effective.
Artificial intelligence combined with the data collected by Hexoskin Smart Garments make it possible to predict a variety of conditions and anticipate them with more efficiency.

Hexoskin demonstrates its health monitoring technology at the 3rd Dubai Future Accelerators Program
It was a great honor for Hexoskin to demonstrate its Connected Health Platform at the closing ceremony of 3rd Dubai Future Accelerators Program this weekend. His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF) was attending and Hexoskin demonstrated live health metrics recorded with its biometric clothing technology. You can watch a demonstration video here.
"Dubai is now a global hub for advanced technologies and a platform to exchange experience and learn about the latest developments", said Sheikh Hamdan. View the article here.
At the same event, the Dubai Health Authority represented by His Excellency Humaid Mohammed Obaid Al Qatami, Chairman of the Board, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Hexoskin to support a monitoring program for heart failure patients at the Dubai Rashid Hospital.
In Gulf News, we can read that the Prince added that the results of this 3rd program "is pressing ahead confidently towards the future, creating an enabling and stimulating environment to accelerate the achievement of the goals". The event was taking place in the Dubai Future Accelerators' offices in the Emirates Towers in Dubai.

About Hexoskin
Founded in 2006 in Montreal (Canada), Hexoskin offers a non-invasive solution for longitudinal studies in cardiology, respiratory, sleep, CNS, activity, stress and mental illness. Hexoskin took a different approach to current monitoring solutions by developing a washable smart garment with cardiac, respiratory and activity sensors embedded in the textile. Hexoskin is the only clinically validated system that records continuously ECG with respiratory lung function and daily/sleep activities. The end-to-end connected platform is designed to minimize user setup time and collect remotely real-world evidence over long periods. The data is synchronized for advanced data management and analysis. Hexoskin is compatible with iOS, Android, Watch OS and Android Wear.

Hexoskin is shaping the future of healthcare at the Dubai Future Accelerators
It’s with great pleasure that Hexoskin our participation in the 3rd cohort of the Dubai Future Accelerators! Hexoskin will be hosted by the Dubai Future Accelerators with three other companies to meet this year's health challenges defined by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA). Around 20 companies from all around the world have submitted their applications to participate, and we are very happy to have made the cut with the other companies. Four members of the Montreal team were present at the opening Ceremony on October 2nd in Dubai. Our challenge will be to support Dubai in reducing health costs, while increasing the efficiency and the potential of diagnosis, prevention and remote monitoring by a factor of 10. 
''Hexoskin will work within the Dubai Future Accelerators and partner with the DHA to design the most advanced healthcare programs and make Dubai a global hub that connects patients to the best healthcare services in the world.'' - Pierre-Alexandre Fournier, Co-Founder and CEO, Hexoskin

A word from Hexoskin for World Alzheimer Day
This September 21st, we would like to highlight World Alzheimer Day. Alzheimer is the most common form of dementia affecting people worldwide.
Hexoskin is working more and more on detecting cognitive conditions, as we can see in several studies (Sun et al., Webster et al., TELUQ, etc.). In fact, our system provides cardiac and respiratory functions simultaneously, as well as activity with a 3-axis accelerometer. For example, we are working with the Montreal TELUQ team that has developed an application for fall detection with Hexoskin. The advantage is being able to get the vital functions to determine the condition of the patient following a fall. For more details, visit our research section.
Here is a link for Alzheimer Canada website.
Help us to raise awareness and challenge the stigma that surrounds dementia.
