Heart
Heart rate and HRV from textile ECG.
Transport Research With Hexoskin
Follow the Demands of the Driving Task
Driving and vigilance tasks ask people to stay alert for long periods. Hexoskin records heart, breathing, and movement alongside task performance and reference assessments.
Hexoskin is worn under regular clothing and records ECG, breathing, and movement for the whole drive or shift.
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.
The Whole Drive on One Clock
Drivers wear Hexoskin under regular clothing for the full drive or shift. ECG, breathing, and movement stay on one clock with task events, so changes in heart rate, heart rate variability, and breathing can be related to performance and reference assessments, with each study defining its own outcome.
What Your Team Gets
Live During the Session
Heart rate, breathing rate, and activity live in Hexoskin OneApp, or streamed to your own Android application with Hexoskin OneSDK.
Explore Hexoskin OneAppAfter Every Session
Full sessions, annotations, and metrics for every participant in Hexoskin OneView, with exports for your analysis.
Explore the SoftwareThe Signals Themselves
The ECG, breathing, and acceleration waveforms behind every value, with Hexoskin OneAPI access for your own tools.
Explore the Raw SignalsResearch and Evidence
A published driver-drowsiness study shows one research method. It is evidence of its studied method, not a claim of fleet-safety performance.
Published Driver Drowsiness Research
Nine healthy drivers wore Hexoskin, and respiratory-rate variability rose in the minutes before drowsiness markers while heart rate variability showed no significant trend. Real-time warning was not tested.
