Wearable physiological monitoring for research

Measure cardiac activity, breathing, and movement beyond a single laboratory visit. Tell us what you want to study, where participants will be recorded, and how your team will work with the data. We reply with the platform that fits, the quantities you need, and how the data reaches you.

Who this page is for

  • Researchers comparing Hexoskin and Astroskin for a new study.
  • Teams planning multi-day or field recordings outside the laboratory.
  • Engineers and data scientists who need raw signals, an API, or local decoding.
  • Anyone who is not sure which measurements a protocol needs.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Which platform should I choose, Hexoskin or Astroskin?

Hexoskin fits studies of cardiac activity, breathing, and movement in everyday activities, exercise, and sleep, with adult and junior garments. Astroskin adds blood oxygen saturation, skin temperature, and a three-lead ECG on the same clock for studies that need a broader physiological picture. Describe the protocol and we recommend one, or both.

Can I get the raw signals?

Yes. Both platforms provide access to raw signals and processed metrics through Hexoskin software and the OneAPI, with OneSDK and OneSync options for integration and local decoding.

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.
