Aviation Research With Astroskin and Hexoskin

Put the Cockpit Beside the Physiological Record

Breathing and cardiac recordings alongside flight tasks, cockpit conditions, and reference measurements, in the simulator and in flight, with Astroskin and Hexoskin.

Astroskin adds SpO₂ and skin temperature for altitude and cockpit-environment studies. Hexoskin records ECG, breathing, and movement for simulator work.

Heart

Three-lead ECG at 250 Hz, with heart rate and HRV.

Breathing

Two textile bands for breathing rate, tidal volume, and minute ventilation.

Oxygen & Temperature

PPG, SpO₂, skin temperature, and a systolic blood-pressure estimate.

Movement

Three-axis acceleration for activity and body position.

Flight Phases on One Timeline

Pilots wear the garment under the flight suit, and recording runs through briefing, take-off, the task, and landing. Breathing rate, minute ventilation, heart rate, and SpO₂ line up with flight phases and cockpit conditions, so simulator comparisons and in-flight programs use the same signals and analysis.

Solutions Tailored to Every Use Case

Astroskin carries the full signal set for flight and space research. Hexoskin brings the same workflow to ground studies and larger groups.

Research and Evidence

Published aviation studies show how teams recorded pilots in the simulator and in flight.

Conference

Comparing Cockpit Ventilation Conditions

Eight flight trainees wore Hexoskin on a cockpit test platform under three ventilation schemes, and several heart rate variability indexes differed between schemes.
