Astroskin wearable vital signs monitoring for research

Astroskin brings ECG, breathing, oxygen saturation, skin temperature, and movement into one wearable research system with a washable garment, an optical headband, and a portable recorder. Tell us what your study needs to measure and where participants will be recorded.

Who this page is for

  • Studies that need several vital signs synchronised on one recording clock.
  • Aerospace, defense, clinical, and human-performance research teams.
  • Projects recording in the field for up to 48 hours per battery set.

What Astroskin measures

Three-lead ECG

250 Hz with 1 µV resolution and lead-specific quality information for heart rate, QRS events, RR intervals, and HRV research.

Breathing

Thoracic and abdominal respiratory inductance plethysmography at 125 Hz for breathing rate, timing, and ventilation estimates.

Oxygen, temperature, movement

Blood oxygen saturation and skin temperature from the optical headband, plus three-axis movement, all synchronised with the cardiac and respiratory signals.

The recorder runs up to 48 hours on two AA batteries and stores more than 400 hours of raw data locally.

Frequently asked questions

When is Astroskin a better fit than Hexoskin?

When the protocol needs blood oxygen saturation, skin temperature, or a three-lead ECG alongside breathing and movement on the same clock. For cardiac, breathing, and movement alone, Hexoskin is usually the simpler choice.

Can Astroskin be used outside the laboratory?

Yes. The garment and headband are designed for field recording, with up to 48 hours per battery set and local storage.

How quickly will Hexoskin reply?

A member of the research team replies by email within two business days. If your timeline is short, say so in the description and we prioritise the reply.

Does Hexoskin sell to individual researchers and small labs?

Yes. Hexoskin supplies single kits as well as fleet quantities, and the Hexoskin+ program offers discounts on qualifying quantities for research and teaching.

Is my information shared outside Hexoskin?

No. Your details are used by the Hexoskin team to answer your request and are handled under the Hexoskin privacy policy.
