Heart
Heart rate and HRV from textile ECG.
Hexoskin and Astroskin for Human Factors
Design Work Around the People Doing It
A new interface, workstation, or task sequence changes the effort it takes. Hexoskin and Astroskin record heart, breathing, and movement while people work, so you can compare designs by their physiological response as well as their performance.
Pair the recording with task events, performance measures, and participant feedback in one study.
Breathing
Breathing rate and minute ventilation from two textile bands.
Movement
Activity, steps, cadence, and body position.
Study Team
Protocols, review, and exports for every participant in Hexoskin OneView.
Pinpoint the Hard Moments
Mark task events as they happen, then review heart rate, heart rate variability, and breathing around each one, so a difficult step, an unfamiliar screen, or a repeated movement stands out. Run each design with the same task, order, and recording routine, and Hexoskin OneView keeps sessions, annotations, and exports in one place for the comparison.
Solutions Tailored to Every Use Case
Choose Hexoskin for ECG, breathing, and movement across a workforce, or Astroskin when the study also needs skin temperature and SpO₂. Both share one software and data ecosystem.
Hexoskin
Smart clothing for cardiac, respiratory, and movement recording, in men’s, women’s, and junior garments. Choose Hexoskin when single-lead ECG, dual-band respiration, and activity cover the application.

Published human-factors and ambulatory studies show how researchers combine physiology with task and self-report data.
An active sitting chair can increase energy expenditure while performing standardized data entry work
Sixteen participants completed standardized data-entry work in an active chair and a conventional chair while Hexoskin measured heart rate and heart rate variability. Responses varied substantially between individuals.
