What Hexoskin and Astroskin measure

Hexoskin

Hexoskin records a single-lead ECG at 256 Hz, thoracic and abdominal breathing with two respiratory inductance plethysmography channels at 128 Hz, and three-axis movement, in a washable smart garment with a recorder that runs for up to 36 continuous hours.

Astroskin

Astroskin records a three-lead ECG at 250 Hz, thoracic and abdominal breathing at 125 Hz, blood oxygen saturation and skin temperature from an optical headband, and movement, on one recording clock, for up to 48 hours on two AA batteries.

Both platforms give your team access to raw signals and processed metrics through Hexoskin software, the OneAPI and OneSDK for integration, and OneSync for local decoding when data must stay on site.
