Astroskin and Hexoskin for Work Environments

See How Work Conditions Show Up in the Body

Heat, protective clothing, and shift pace change how hard people work. Record heart, breathing, skin temperature, and movement through the shift and compare them with the conditions you measure on site.

Astroskin adds skin temperature, SpO₂, and three-lead ECG. Hexoskin records ECG, breathing, and movement for the whole crew.

Heart

Heart rate and HRV from textile ECG.

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.

Separate the Task From the Conditions

Heat, protective clothing, and shift pace change how hard people work. Record defined work periods the same way in each condition, with time-stamped observations and site instruments alongside the garment, and see whether a change comes from the task, the equipment, or the environment.

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.

Upper- vs. Whole-Body Cooling During Exercise with Thermal Protective Clothing in the Heat

Eight participants exercised in the heat in protective clothing with no cooling, upper-body cooling, or whole-body cooling while Hexoskin monitored heart rate. Both cooling conditions reduced cardiovascular strain.
