The world around us is turning intelligent — AI, connected systems, and machines coordinating in real time, exchanging signal constantly and in every direction. People reach that world through screens and separate devices: occasional, deliberate, held at arm’s length. The one thing with no continuous way in is the human. Textiles are already everywhere a human is — worn on the body, and built into the seats, beds, vehicles, and spaces around us. Textile Computing™ turns those soft surfaces into a living, two-way interface: the layer through which a person finally joins a world run by AI and intelligent systems. Not another device — what was already there. Textiles are already everywhere a human is — worn on the body, and built into the seats, beds, vehicles, and spaces around us.

Capabilities The vision behind the technology Today, people connect to digital and health systems in fragments — a screen, a separate device, an occasional measurement. Textile Computing™ makes that connection continuous, by building sensing and response into what someone already wears. Myant calls this the Internet of Human™: a persistent, physical interface between a person and the systems around them — with every implementation defining its own purpose, permissions, security, and the person’s control. Internet of Human™ What the technology senses and delivers Six textile capabilities, each proven on the body. Maturity and evidence vary by capability — every one has its own page. Textile ECG Cardiac sensing from knitted dry electrodes — no gel, no adhesive. Textile EMG Muscle activation, read straight from apparel. Textile EEG Brain-signal sensing in soft, wearable textile. Neurostimulation Targeted stimulation through dry textile electrodes — NMES and TENS. Pressure mapping Load, posture, and contact mapped across a whole surface. Thermal regulation Zoned heating, knitted into the garment. The fabric itself becomes intelligent — with Textile Computing™ The computing lives in the material — no wires, no separate hardware. The flagship Introducing SKIIN™ SKIIN™ is the flagship of Textile Computing™ — clinical-grade connected garments that move continuous health monitoring off the clinic and onto the body, worn through everyday life. Built by Myant across human and animal health and spanning many product forms and biosignals, it’s the clearest proof of what the technology becomes. SKIIN™ product family From physical interface to finished product system A Textile Computing™ product combines several technical layers. Which ones, and how they come together, depends on the product — its function, form factor, user, and the systems it integrates with. 01 Textile interface The physical structure designed around contact, fit, stretch, placement, comfort, and function. 02 Sensing and actuation Supported functional zones for measurement, stimulation, thermal response, haptics, or other product-specific behaviours. 03 Textile interconnects Conductive pathways connecting distributed functions with the relevant electronics. 04 Electronics and power Signal acquisition, conditioning, control, stimulation, power, and communications hardware. 05 Firmware and connectivity Embedded control, device communication, timing, and connected-system integration. 06 Data handling and software Product-specific processing, visualization, analytics, interfaces, and workflow logic. 07 Product, workflow and service layer The final workflow, user experience, application, software environment, or enterprise system. 01 Textile interface The physical structure designed around contact, fit, stretch, placement, comfort, and function. 02 Sensing and actuation Supported functional zones for measurement, stimulation, thermal response, haptics, or other product-specific behaviours. 03 Textile interconnects Conductive pathways connecting distributed functions with the relevant electronics. 04 Electronics and power Signal acquisition, conditioning, control, stimulation, power, and communications hardware. 05 Firmware and connectivity Embedded control, device communication, timing, and connected-system integration. 06 Data handling and software Product-specific processing, visualization, analytics, interfaces, and workflow logic. 07 Product, workflow and service layer The final workflow, user experience, application, software environment, or enterprise system.

Discuss a requirement ============================================================================== # PEDOT:PSS Conductive Polymer | Ink, Coating & Film Supplier URL: https://myantx.com/materials/pedot-pss/ ============================================================================== Home / Materials / PEDOT:PSS PEDOT:PSS — conductivity without metal A carbon-based conductive polymer for interfaces that have to bend, print, or sit against skin — where metal is too stiff or too corrodible to use. Sheet resistance 50–500 Ω/sq Cure <130 °C / <5 min Solid content 1–3% Discuss a formulation Why a polymer instead of metal Nearly every conductor in an electronic product is metal. Metal carries current superbly and is unforgiving everywhere else — stiff at a fold, vulnerable to sweat. PEDOT:PSS conducts as a polymer instead. It goes on wet, dries into a thin conductive layer, and flexes with whatever surface it was applied to. How we develop materials Engineered to your process Prints, coats, or dips Solution-processable: the same polymer becomes a printed film, a surface coating, an ink, or a fiber treatment. Tuned to your substrate Molecular weight, D:S ratio, additives, and processing set conductivity, stretchability, adhesion, and stability inside your process window. Measured on your formulation Sheet resistance, transparency, adhesion, and thermal behavior are measured on your formulation, in the lab that backs our contract work. Published evidence Coated fibers and textile-electrode constructions have been evaluated in peer-reviewed studies. Results apply to those constructions, not to every formulation. Electrical performance depends on formulation, substrate, geometry, and processing — it is confirmed for the selected formulation during technical scoping. Where the conductor is needed Textile electrodes Skin-contact sensing for ECG, EMG, and EEG, with no metal snap pressed against the body. Wearable sensing Sensing surfaces carried inside garments that are worn, washed, and trained in. Printed and flexible electronics Conductive traces on films and curved parts where a rigid board will not sit. Development programs Beyond supply formulations, the PEDOT:PSS platform anchors identified development programs. Each is stated at its actual maturity — a program in development, not an available product. In development PFAS-capture membranes (PEDOT:PSS–graphene) PEDOT:PSS–graphene coatings for water-filtration membranes, in development with graphene producer Universal Matter under a Next Generation Manufacturing Canada (NGEN) project. How it works + PFAS adsorbs onto the PEDOT:PSS–graphene surface with the voltage off and desorbs back into solution when voltage is applied — electrochemical removal and recovery. The coating is engineered as a thin pore-wall layer to avoid the risk of flux loss, toward a conductive, regenerable, anti-fouling membrane for industrial and municipal water treatment. In development Graphene dispersion manufacturing The same NGEN program applies advanced AI tools to the optimization of graphene-dispersion manufacturing, supporting commercialization in concrete and rubber products. How it works + Deploying them into the operational design of the dispersion processes is expected to significantly increase process uptime and throughput yield.

Particle size sub-10 to >150 µm Tapped density 0.70 g/mL Angle of repose 32.6° Discuss a particle program Why the particle matters as much as the polymer Two powders can share a chemistry and behave nothing alike. How they flow, pack, melt, and disperse is set by the particle, not by the polymer name. So we engineer the particle itself — its size, its distribution, its shape, its surface — around the process it has to survive. How we develop materials The variables we control Size and distribution Particle size engineered from sub-10 microns to >150 microns, with narrow distributions where the target process requires them. Morphology and surface Shape, surface characteristics, and functional additives are set during particle formation — not by post-processing. Composition Applicable across polymer chemistries, from commodity resins to engineering polymers, matched to the application. Characterized for the process Flow, packing, and morphology are measured in-house against the requirements of the target process, as with the TPU70 SLS grade below. Processes it was made for Additive manufacturing SLS powders whose flow and packing suit a powder bed, for lightweight printed parts. Dosing and delivery Particles engineered to carry a payload and let it go on a defined schedule.

Families Silver-plated · carbon Configurations Coated · uncoated Roles Interconnect · electrode Discuss a construction Wiring knitted into the structure A garment with electronics in it usually hides a wire harness. Wires chafe, snag, and fail exactly where the body bends most. A conductive yarn is knitted in as part of the structure. The conductor and the fabric become one object, so it moves the way the textile moves. How we develop materials How the yarn is specified Routes power and signal Conductive-yarn constructions carry power or biosignal through knitted and woven textile structures — the interconnect of a Textile Computing™ garment. Family chosen per program Which family, and whether it carries a protective coating, is set by your conductivity, stretch, and integration targets. Integrated by knitting or weaving Constructions can be integrated through industrial knitting or weaving, so the interconnect is built into the fabric rather than added on. Evaluated by construction Electrical performance and wash durability are evaluated per construction and protocol in identified studies — results apply to what was tested, not to yarn in general. What the yarn carries Biosignal garments Textile ECG, EMG, and EEG paths routed from electrode to connector inside the knit. Dry electrodes Skin-contact sensing without gel, for garments worn through a full session. Heated and powered textiles Power carried across a garment for heating and for field-worn electronics.

Harvests Motion · vibration Storage On-board capacitor Powers Low-power electronics Discuss an energy program Why battery-free changes the product A wearable sensor is only as useful as its charge. Batteries add bulk, add a charging ritual, and eventually become the reason a product is thrown away. This platform harvests the energy already present in everyday motion and stores it on board — removing the battery from the design rather than shrinking it. How we develop materials Turn ambient motion into usable power Captures everyday movement Converts mechanical energy from footsteps, motion, and vibration into clean electrical energy. Stores it on board Charges a capacitor to store energy and deliver power to low-power electronics on demand. Engineered materials Advanced piezoelectric composites engineered for high charge output, durability, and design flexibility. Nothing to recharge Reduces mass, bulk, and environmental waste by eliminating or minimizing the need for batteries. Powers low-power electronics Designed to power sensors, LEDs, microcontrollers, and other low-power electronics in wearable and IoT devices. Ready for deployment Targets real-world applications like smart insoles, wearables, and industrial sensors where energy is everywhere. Where the energy goes Smart insoles The initial demonstrator — energy captured from each step and stored in the insole. Field-worn devices Low-power devices that stay live without a charging cycle in the loop. Industrial and IoT sensors Sensors on machines and assets, powered by the vibration already around them. Self-powered sensing, across form factors Our initial demonstrator targets smart insoles and wearables, but the architecture is not specific to either. The same approach reaches healthcare patches, industrial sensors, smart textiles, and asset tracking. A proprietary ~1 cm² ASIC is in development as the platform's integration target for self-powered smart insoles and other wearables. It integrates an IMU, Bluetooth Low Energy, and energy-harvesting power management onto a single chip.

Measures Ions & biomarkers Medium Interstitial fluid Approach Minimally invasive Discuss a sensing program What the surface cannot tell you Skin-surface sensors read what the body shows on the outside: rhythm, motion, temperature. Chemistry stays out of reach. Microneedles sample interstitial fluid just below the surface, so ion and biomarker levels become something a wearable can follow continuously. How we develop materials What it delivers Sub-skin biomarkers Detect and quantify ions and biomarkers beneath the skin including sodium levels with high precision. Repeatable readings Engineered microneedles designed for accurate, reliable, and repeatable measurements. Stable enough to integrate Optimized for stability, consistency, and integration with connected wearable systems. What it makes measurable Continuous monitoring Biomarker trends followed between appointments, rather than sampled at one. Hydration and electrolytes Sodium and ion measurement read from the body rather than inferred from load. Connected wearable systems Sub-skin chemistry joined to the rest of the sensing stack. Measurement that was previously out of reach By accessing interstitial fluid with microneedles, the platform can measure salt content and other biomarkers in real time. That gives earlier, more actionable insight across a wide range of health applications. The platform roadmap extends the same sensing approach to sweat analysis — reading biomarkers in sweat alongside interstitial fluid to bring better resolution to the Internet of Human™. In advanced development Collaborations are scoped case by case, against the biomarker and the form factor you need to measure in. Status In advanced development Evidence Internally characterized Form Engineered microneedles for biomarker sensing How it is described technically + Our microneedle platform enables minimally invasive measurement of biomarkers beneath the skin — extending continuous health monitoring below the surface.

Prevents Short circuits Substrate Conductive yarns Survives Textile production Discuss a coating program Why a bare conductor fails in a garment Two conductive yarns that touch will short. In a garment they touch constantly — at a seam, under compression, and anywhere sweat bridges the gap. The coating insulates the strand while leaving it flexible enough to knit, weave, and wear like the yarn beside it. How we develop materials What the coating protects Prevents short circuits Advanced coatings provide robust insulation to prevent electrical shorting even in high-sweat and high-motion environments. Survives production Designed to withstand the full textile manufacturing process without compromising yarn performance or manufacturability. Keeps the hand-feel Preserves the natural hand-feel, flexibility, and durability of the yarn for connected wearable applications. Versatile and scalable Compatible with a wide range of yarns and textile structures built for scale and adaptable to your application.

Capability areas 10 Instruments & systems 64 Quality system ISO 9001:2015 QMS Discuss an analysis What analytical work answers These are the questions an analytical program usually starts from. Swipe → Confirm identity & composition Establish what a material is and whether it's what it should be — chemical identity, composition, purity, and elemental makeup. Compare candidates Show how formulations, suppliers, batches, or conditions actually differ — and which of those differences matter. Characterize structure & performance Explain why a material behaves the way it does — morphology, thermal, mechanical, electrical, and surface behavior. Investigate failure & variability Find what changed between the expected and the observed — the root of a failure or an inconsistent batch. Develop & validate methods When no standard method fits, define one — approach, sample preparation, repeatability, and a useful measurement range. Establish a technical baseline Generate the data behind a specification or acceptance criteria the rest of a program can rely on. How we run an analysis Five defined stages, from the brief to the report. Enter at any of them. 01 Define the question The material, its known history, the analytical objective, and the decision the data must support. 02 Plan the samples Confirm sample format, quantity, preparation, handling, comparison groups, and acceptance criteria. 03 Select or develop the method Choose an established capability, or define the method-development work the objective requires. 04 Analyze Document preparation and run the agreed testing under defined analytical conditions. 05 Interpret & report Evaluate results, comparisons, anomalies, and limitations, and deliver a technical report with recommended next steps.

Build a product with the evidence Product Development Develop or improve the material Advanced Materials R&D Carry methods into production Scale-Up & Manufacturing Frequently asked questions Not seeing your question? Talk to the team that would run your program. Discuss a project What sample types and quantities can you evaluate? Liquids, powders, films, coatings, polymers, particles, yarns, textiles, components, and more. The quantity needed depends on the material, method, and replicates — we confirm requirements before you ship anything. Do you develop analytical methods, or only run existing ones? Both. We run established methods, and when none fits we develop one for the material and the decision it must support — approach, sample preparation, repeatability, and a useful measurement range. Can you perform ASTM, ISO, or other standardized methods? Where the method and capability are available, we can run it as written or adapt it for the program. Availability and any deviations are confirmed up front; formally accredited testing is scoped where required. Do you evaluate biocompatibility or skin safety? Yes — biocompatibility and skin-safety evaluation is available in-house for on-body, wearable, and medical materials. The assays, endpoints, and standards are scoped to the material and its intended use. How are hazards, confidentiality, and sample disposal handled? Hazards, storage, and shipping are reviewed before a sample is accepted. Confidentiality, data access, and IP are set in the agreement; sample retention, return, or disposal is defined during scoping. Data your decisions can rely on Tell us what the material is and what the results need to answer. The laboratory team will help define the analytical path.

Swipe → AI & self-driving labs AI-driven modeling and self-driving lab automation that screen candidates in parallel — narrowing the search before bench work starts. Custom synthesis Small molecules, polymers, and functional compounds, made to a performance target. Formulation Inks, coatings, dispersions, and composites, tuned to your process. Characterization Structure, composition, and performance, measured in our own analytical lab. Prototyping & application testing Early physical builds, then testing in the real use case — durability, wash, wear, and load. Scale-readiness A repeatable process and the specification to take it from grams toward production. How we develop a material Five stages, run as one program. Start with a performance requirement, and the material follows. 01 Define The performance target, the constraints, and where the material has to work. 02 Develop Synthesize and formulate candidate materials against the target — AI-guided screening picks the best candidates to try first. 03 Characterize Measure structure, composition, and performance on the actual material. 04 Test in application Prove the material in the real use case and operating conditions. 05 Ready to scale The material, its process, and its specification are packaged for transfer to scale-up. Material platforms Swipe → Developed and characterized in-house. Explore each platform, or the full materials library.

Functional yarns Conductive Yarns Silver and carbon conductive yarns that route power and biosignal through knitted textiles, characterized across 50 wash cycles. Engineered particles Engineered Polymer Particles Polymer particles tuned to a target size, morphology, and surface for a process — for example, TPU70 SLS powder at 20–100 µm.

Ours are measured, made repeatable, and ready for production. Any material, any sector Conductive systems, engineered particles, functional yarns, coatings — the work is sector-agnostic, serving any industry, textiles among them. Characterized on our own instruments Materials are characterized on our own instruments — GC-MS, SEM, FTIR, and more — so the data is generated on your material and travels with it. Faster to a working material AI-guided screening narrows the field early, and a pilot line on the same campus keeps a promising material from stalling between R&D and production. Build a product with the material Product Development Test or characterize a material Analytical Testing Take it to production Scale-Up & Manufacturing Frequently asked questions Not seeing your question? Talk to the team that would run your program. Discuss a project Can you develop a material for a non-textile application? Yes — much of our work is non-textile: conductors, particles, coatings, and composites for automotive, healthcare, energy, and industrial programs. Can you improve an existing material instead of starting over? Often. We can modify or adapt an existing material or formulation to hit a new target, which is usually faster and lower-risk than developing one from scratch. How do you prove a new material works? Two ways: characterization measures what it is; application testing proves it holds up under real operating conditions — durability, wash, wear, and load. Both run on your specific material and formulation. How do AI and self-driving labs fit in? AI models and self-driving lab automation screen candidates and run experiments in parallel, so a large search space shrinks fast. You reach a working material with less wasted effort; the bench and the evidence still decide it. How do engagements work? Programs are scoped to what you need — a single problem or a full effort — with no long-term contract to begin. Background IP, new IP, licensing, data, and rights are all defined in the agreement, never assumed. Develop the material you need Tell us what the material has to do, where it has to work, and the constraints it must meet. We'll define the development path from there.

Campus 170,000 sq ft Pilot plant 20–1,200 L Production ≤ 20,000 L Discuss scale-up requirements What scale-up covers Engineering, piloting, and proving a process until it can run at volume — batch after batch. Swipe → Feasibility & techno-economics A manufacturing-feasibility and techno-economic view — whether the process can scale, and whether yield, throughput, and cost work — before any capital is committed. Process engineering Turn a laboratory procedure into a controllable, repeatable process — handling, mixing, reaction, forming, and downstream steps. Pilot production Run representative batches at pilot scale to prove the process behaves before committing to volume. Comparability & consistency Measure the scaled material against the bench benchmark, held to defined parameters and acceptance criteria — so what ships matches what was validated. Technical transfer Package the process — operating sequence, batch records, and risk controls — to move it to another team or site. Manufacturing & supply For eligible processes: production campaigns, toll manufacturing, or ongoing supply — confirmed per program. How we scale a process Six stages, run as one program — starting from whatever already works, and built around repeatability. 01 Assess Review the process, materials, equipment, hazards, and target volumes — and whether scale-up is technically and economically feasible. 02 Define the strategy Establish the production pathway, the experimental and analytical plan, quality criteria, and milestones. 03 Engineer the process Develop the operating sequence, material handling, equipment settings, parameters, and documentation for controlled execution. 04 Pilot & characterize Run representative pilot batches, measure process and material behavior, and compare against the bench benchmark. 05 Demonstrate repeatability Refine the process, establish operating ranges, confirm the agreed criteria, and document the risks and controls. 06 Establish the production route Prepare the agreed transfer, manufacturing, supply, or extended-pilot pathway — not every program reaches production.

MyantX runs material R&D, testing, and the line as one operation — so what ships is what was validated. The same team, end to end The team that scales your process works alongside the material R&D and the analytical lab — nothing is handed to a factory that has to relearn it. Know before you commit A manufacturing-feasibility and techno-economic assessment shows whether a process can scale — and whether the economics work — so capital goes in only once the numbers hold up. Honest about the limits Equipment fit, usable volume, safety, and available capacity are confirmed up front. Not every process is eligible, and we say so. Develop or improve the material Advanced Materials R&D Test through pilot & transfer Analytical Testing Design the connected product Product Development Frequently asked questions Not seeing your question? Talk to the team that would run your program. Discuss a project Can you tell us whether scaling up is even worth it? Yes — a program can start with a feasibility and techno-economic assessment, so capital goes into scale-up only once the technical and commercial case holds up. Can you scale a process developed elsewhere? Often, yes. We review the formulation or process, its documentation and sample data, hazards, and IP constraints to determine whether a transfer or scale-up program is feasible. What pilot and production volumes are available? Modular pilot lines run from 20 to 1,200 L and production up to 20,000 L. The right range for your process is confirmed during scoping, against technical fit and availability. Do you offer toll manufacturing or ongoing supply? For suitable processes, yes. The manufacturing model, campaign size, specifications, quality requirements, and commercial terms are all defined during scoping. Can the process be transferred to another site? Where included in the engagement, we can prepare an agreed technical-transfer package and support transfer into a client or third-party manufacturing environment. How are hazards, quality, IP, and timing handled? Hazards and handling controls are reviewed before work is accepted; quality requirements are agreed up front; and confidentiality, background and new IP, and transfer rights are set in the agreement. Timing depends on the starting process and the pilot iterations it needs. Take it to volume Tell us what currently works and what scale you need to reach.

Talk to the team that would run your program. Discuss a project What kinds of connected products can you develop? Products where a soft, on-body, or embedded interface matters — garments, bands, insoles, therapeutic devices, and instrumented surfaces like seats and beds. We confirm feasibility for each program at the start. Can you work with our existing electronics, firmware, or software? Yes. We review your hardware, firmware, connectivity, and data pipeline to set a sensible system boundary, then focus the program where we add the most value — the sensing interface, the electronics, or the full system. Can you take a product all the way to manufacturing? Yes — the campus runs from bench research to manufacturing readiness on site. When a program reaches volume, our Scale-Up & Manufacturing team defines the pilot, transfer, or production pathway with you. Do you support medical or otherwise regulated products? Yes. We have medical-device development experience and build in the design controls, documentation, and validation a regulated product needs. Each product's classification, applicable standards, and regulatory path are scoped with you — never assumed from the engagement. How do engagements and IP work? Engagements are scoped to what you need — a single stage or the full program — with no long-term contract to begin. Background IP, new IP, licensing, data, and production rights are all defined in the agreement. How do you prove a product performs? Each product is measured against its own requirements — performance versus reference instruments, wash-and-wear, safety, and intended use — and documented, so the evidence travels with it. Take your product to production Tell us what the product must do, who it's for, and how far it's progressed. We'll define the architecture and the development path from there.

Discuss a project What is textile ECG, and who makes it? Textile ECG is electrocardiogram sensing from dry electrodes knitted into a garment or band, instead of adhesive gel pads. MyantX has developed several textile-ECG configurations — chest, torso, and waist — and evaluated specific electrode materials and constructions against gel-electrode references. How does textile ECG compare to gel electrodes? In one identified study, conductive-elastomeric-filament textile electrodes recorded ECG comparable in signal fidelity to gel-electrode ECG, and after 30 wash-and-dry cycles the signal's frequency distribution remained similar to pre-wash (r² = 0.93). In a separate pediatric pilot, heart rate matched reference ECG within 3.6–3.8% NRMSE. These results are specific to the tested electrode materials, constructions, and protocols. Do the electrodes need gel or adhesive? No. They are dry electrodes — the conductive knit contacts the skin directly, so there is nothing to apply, dry out, or replace. How wash-durable is it? Wash durability is measured per construction: CEF electrodes held ECG signal quality after 30 wash/dry cycles, and PEDOT:PSS-coated fibre electrodes were tested to 60 machine washes. The cycle count and protocol differ by construction and study. Build it with MyantX Tell us the function you need.

Textile EMG is muscle-activation sensing from dry electrodes knitted into a garment, rather than adhesive gel pads. MyantX has evaluated textile electrode materials against gel and built a research forearm sleeve that classified seven finger movements to control a myoelectric prosthesis. How does textile EMG compare to gel electrodes? In a materials study, 31 of 40 textile electrode materials showed strong positive correlation with gel electrodes (p < 0.001). A washable 14-electrode research sleeve then classified seven finger movements with no significant SNR change across 30 washes. What is textile EMG used for?

Discuss a project How is the heating built into the garment? Knitted heating elements are integrated directly into the fabric. The heating element can be integrated into the textile rather than applied as a separate pad; power delivery, temperature sensing, and control electronics remain part of the complete product architecture. Because the elements are knitted in, the same approach scales from a single comfort zone to a full garment. Is textile heating a medical treatment? No. MyantX frames textile thermal regulation as a comfort and temperature-control capability, not a clinical therapy. There is no peer-reviewed efficacy claim attached, so it is described in terms of what the technology does — targeted warmth and temperature control — rather than a medical outcome. How is the warmth targeted and controlled? Heating is delivered in zones under active temperature control — a starting configuration of four elements that expands as a garment needs, with modes such as Standard Comfort and Rapid Heat. Paired with textile temperature sensing, it can run as a closed loop that holds a target temperature rather than simply switching on and off. Can a heating garment be machine-washed? Washability depends on the complete construction. The heating elements, interconnects, connectors, removable electronics, and care method must be validated under the intended laundering protocol.

Discuss an automotive program What we do for automotive OEMs The interior is where a car is judged, and the hardest place to add anything. Every new function means more wiring, more weight, more time on the line. We put the function into the surface instead — the seat, the wheel, the trim. And we do the whole job: materials, sensing, electronics, testing, production. Textile Computing™ The four cabin systems Four systems, scoped on their own or delivered as one cabin. Full specifications open below. Heated surfaces Zoned panels warm contact points instead of cabin air — an active thermal barrier that helps preserve EV range. A seat and wheel that read the occupant 225-cell pressure panels resolve occupancy, position, and posture. Steering-wheel electrodes capture ECG — no wearable, no driver action. Knitted light and touch RGBW light and tactile controls live in the surface itself — headliner, dash, door, armrest — replacing discrete buttons and light guides. Textile wiring Conductive yarn routes power and data through the trim itself, replacing copper harness weight and the assembly steps built around it. Proven in a running vehicle The connected cabin — steering-wheel ECG and the 225-cell pressure-sensing seat — was built into Canada's all-Canadian concept SUV (APMA) and shown publicly at CES 2023. 225 Pressure-sensing cells per seat panel 50×46 cm Sensing surface per panel 25×30 cm Per independent heat zone CES 2023 Project Arrow, shown publicly Occupant detection & classification Seat-matrix pressure sensing resolves occupancy, position, and posture — the input layer for airbag logic, comfort automation, and fleet telematics. Textile-to-Electronics (T2E) Proprietary bonding and interface processes connect knitted sensing and actuation to automotive electronics, specified per program with BLE or hard-wired options. Passive physiological sensing Heart rate, respiration, and muscle fatigue, read passively from the seat and belt — no wearable required. Pressure-mapping evidence Textile ECG capability The system in detail Every figure is carried from the engineering record. Architectural capabilities are described as what the system supports. Cabin heat panels + Traditional HVAC systems waste energy heating the entire volume of empty cabin air. Myant's active heat panels deliver targeted, efficient warmth directly to the passenger's body contact zones. Designed with top and bottom thermal zones, these panels function as active thermal insulators to reduce overall heat loss through the cabin walls. Zonal Heating Layout Separate top and bottom thermal heating zones, each measuring 25×30 cm and operating on an independent 2-channel system. Precision Temperature Control Engineered to deliver two optimized thermal performance modes based on voltage configurations: Standard Comfort Mode and Rapid Heat Mode. Thermal-regulation capability Pressure-sensing seat panels + Sitting for long commutes causes muscle fatigue and poor circulation. The seat covers integrate textile pressure panels that continuously map the driver's contact surface. From the pressure distribution, the vehicle's onboard systems can detect fatigue, poor posture, or tension — and prompt micro-adjustments or adaptive support. High-Density Grid Array Equipped with top and bottom seat cover pressure panels. Resolution Each panel contains a high-resolution grid of 225 independent pressure-sensing cells arranged in a 15×15 matrix. Sensing Surface Area 50×46 cm per panel — edge-to-edge coverage across both the seat cushion and backrest. Biosensing in the wheel and seat belt + Conductive sensing yarns embedded in the steering wheel and seat belt let the Connected Cabin track physiological signals continuously and passively — enabling biometric driver identification and fatigue or stress detection without requiring the driver to wear a smartwatch or monitor. Electrocardiography (ECG) Steering wheel-integrated electrodes capture QRS heart signals to measure real-time heart rate and verify driver identity through unique cardiac pattern classification. Respiration Monitoring Integrated pressure sensors within the seat belt fabric track breathing rates and cycle patterns. Expanded Health Diagnostics System architecture supports full passive monitoring of EEG for cognitive focus, EMG for physical tension, and EOG to detect drowsiness. Active Seat Belt Assistance Real-time breathing and posture data drives automatic, motor-driven micro-adjustments to seat-belt tension. Knitted light panels + Myant's knitted light panels embed arrays of RGBW LEDs directly into the textile fibers of the ceiling, dashboard, and door panels. Utilizing Myant's textile computing to concentrate spotlights and specialized spacer fabrics to diffuse glow, the cabin's lighting adapts dynamically to alert the driver of road hazards, indicate vehicle status, or cultivate a calming cabin environment. Bottom Light Panel Matrix Top Light Panel Matrix Advanced Optical Comfort Each light panel is specialized to focus individual spotlights and structured with spacer mesh to distribute light smoothly across the fabric. Dynamic Visual Modes Switches across operational profiles: OFF Mode, Blue Laser, Green Laser, and dual Blue + Green Lasers. Tactile controls and surface display + Integrated Tactile Interfaces Standard physical buttons are replaced with tactile textile sensors embedded directly into the fabric surface. Fibre Optic Dashboards Woven fibre optics display critical infotainment and vehicle diagnostics right across your upholstered interior surfaces. Fabric Wireless Charging Embroidered electromagnetic charging loops are integrated directly into armrests, allowing smartphones to charge wirelessly. Textile wiring and 3D knitting + Traditional vehicles carry miles of heavy copper wire harnesses and complex, multi-layered metal and plastic interior shells. Myant replaces this weight with textile-based wiring and advanced carbon-fiber structural composites. Integrated Fabric Wiring Power/data knitted directly into fabric. Single-Step 3D Contouring Complex 3-D shaping in a single run. Reinforced Substrates Robust carbon fiber materials integrated. How an automotive program runs Start with one panel or the whole interior. The scope changes; the sequence does not. 01 Define the panel and the boundary Specification, integration boundary, and validation plan are fixed before any tooling — so the target agreed at kickoff is what the program is measured against. Product development 02 Engineer and characterize Material, sensor geometry, and electronics are developed together and tested in-house — durability, signal quality, and the T2E interface. Advanced Materials R&D Analytical Testing 03 Move to production Process engineering and pilot production run against manufacturing-readiness levels, with no hand-off to a separate supplier. Scale-Up & Manufacturing Bring us a panel or the whole cabin Send a target specification or an interior concept. You get back the systems in play, the boundary to your electronics, and the route to a validated prototype.

We develop it as your product, from the yarn through to the production line. Discuss a sports program What we build for apparel and performance R&D Athletes only get measured by what they actually keep wearing. Straps, watches and patches get left behind, and the picture thins out exactly when a season gets hard. You bring the line, the squad or the platform. We build the sensing into the kit itself — yarn, electronics boundary and evidence — and carry it through to production. Textile Computing™ What the kit reads Physiology and mechanics from the same garment, continuously — not a spot check at the start and end of a session. Cardiac load and recovery Multi-lead ECG gives heart rate, resting heart rate and HRV — the basis for training zones and day-to-day readiness. Breathing through a session Breathing rate through the session, so effort and breathing pattern can be read against each other. Core temperature Continuous core-temperature tracking, to surface heat strain in endurance and outdoor training. Muscle activation, left against right Textile EMG tracks contraction across primary muscle groups — exposing asymmetry, and whether the stabilizers are firing at all. Movement mechanics Joint angles, coordination and range of motion, correlated to r = 0.98 against a Xsens motion reference. Foot pressure and gait Insoles map weight distribution, stance stability, gait phase and ground-contact time — the inputs behind running economy. Textile EMG capability Pressure-mapping evidence Why the kit survives a season A sensor an athlete takes off measures nothing. The whole design problem is staying inside a garment that gets worn, sweated in, and washed with the rest of the kit. 01 Knitted into the structure Conductive yarns are knitted into the garment structure. No chest belt, no adhesive patch, nothing an athlete peels off between sessions. Conductive yarns 02 Built to be washed Constructions are wash- and stretch-cycled in-house, because a garment that cannot survive team laundry is not a product. Analytical Testing 03 One electronics boundary A snap-on module is the only rigid part. The garment stays a garment, and the electronics come off before it goes in the machine. Product development 04 Data out, into your system Signal leaves as data you can route into your own app, athlete-management system or analytics stack. The Platform 05 Made at apparel scale Knitting, integration and pilot production run on one campus, staged against manufacturing-readiness levels. Scale-Up & Manufacturing Where the sensing goes Three constructions carry the sensing. Most programs start with one and add the others as the data set grows. Torso Base layers, bras and tanks Sensing knitted into the garment structure, not added to it — so the kit stays the kit an athlete already puts on. Limb Targeted bands and sleeves Sensing placed exactly where the load is, over one muscle group — worn alone or alongside a base layer. Foot Smart insoles An ultrathin sensing layer that drops into footwear a team already runs — no change to the shoe. The full garment lineup The numbers you will be asked for r²=0.93 Textile-ECG signal quality r=0.98 Kinematics vs Xsens 1,000,000+ Insole loading cycles 250 Hz Insole sampling rate Signal quality Textile-ECG validation of the tested dry-electrode construction reported r² = 0.93; validated IMUs correlate to r = 0.98 against a Xsens reference. Durability Textile pressure sensors validated past 1,000,000 loading cycles in-house; constructions held through 30 wash and 1,000 stretch cycles. Configurable geometry Cell count and cell size are configured per product — 3–16 cells per insole zone in demonstrated configurations. Figures describe demonstrated configurations of the tested sensor architecture, not a fixed catalogue part. Research library ECG validation study The system in detail Movement, force, and muscle activation + Motion, pressure, and muscle sensors capture body mechanics in real time — the signal behind form analysis, injury prevention, and exertion tracking. Muscle activation (IMU-EMG) Localized muscle contraction across primary muscle groups — for left/right balance and stabilizer engagement. Full-body kinematics Joint angles, coordination, and range of motion, for a complete picture of technique. Foot pressure and gait Smart insoles map weight distribution, stance stability, gait phases, and ground-contact time. Lifting posture alerts Posture monitoring tracks spinal alignment and joint angles during heavy lifts, flagging high-injury-risk patterns. Sensing built into the garment + The sensing is knitted into the fabric itself — no rigid straps, chest belts, or adhesive patches. Athletic garments capture physiological and biomechanical signal continuously, through real training, and stream it to a connected app. Engineered for training wear Conductive fibres are knitted into garments designed for the fit, comfort, and durability of everyday activewear. Continuous, garment-based sensing With the sensing embedded in the yarns, the garment tracks the heart, lungs, muscles, and movement continuously through a session — not in spot checks. Signal to the app A snap-on electronic module reads the fabric sensors and streams the data to a connected training app. Physiological signals + The garments capture the physiological signals that define an athlete's condition and recovery. Heart rate and ECG Multi-lead ECG captures heart rate, resting heart rate, and heart-rate variability — the basis for training-zone and recovery analysis. Respiration Real-time respiration and breathing rate under load. Core temperature Continuous core-temperature tracking, to flag overheating during endurance or outdoor training. Recovery and sleep Overnight heart-rate and sleep-quality tracking, to gauge readiness between sessions. The live training dashboard + The companion app surfaces the signal in real time — power output (W), heart rate (bpm), and sweat rate (L/min) — on phone or smartwatch. Group leaderboard Live heart rate and power output, compared across a training group. Muscle balance map Muscle activation levels alongside left/right foot-force balance (e.g. 45% / 55%). Exertion and fatigue Rate of perceived exertion and fatigue trends, to show when muscles are nearing their limit. Image Image to shoot Phone straight-on: dark training dashboard with live watts, bpm, sweat rate, 45/55 left-right force balance, and exertion gauge. App view Coaching, activity recognition, and safety + Live audio coaching The app reads live vitals and adjusts pacing and intensity cues, including breathing. Activity recognition Automatic exercise detection, metric logging, and active-calorie calculation. Safety alerts Fall detection and rhythm alerts — relevant to fall-risk, mobility testing, and rehabilitation contexts. The full garment lineup + A lineup of garments and insoles that captures physiological and biomechanical signal across the body. Underwear & Sports Bras for Base Tracking Performance Tank Tops for Cardio Targeted Compression Bands for Muscles Smart Insoles for Gait Analysis Four ways a sports program starts The same textile sensing behind SKIIN™ athletic apparel, available as a co-development platform — with a different starting point depending on what you already own. 01 Apparel and footwear brands A line that has to sense, and still has to feel, fit and wash like the rest of your range.

Discuss a sports program All industries ============================================================================== # Smart Mattress Technology | Sleep Sensing & Bedding OEM URL: https://myantx.com/industries/sleep/ ============================================================================== Home / Industries / Sleep The Invisible Clinic in your bedroom Sleep systems that read the body and act on it — from the first material to the production line. Discuss a sleep program What we build for sleep and bedding brands Medical-grade sensing and response, knitted into the bed and the bedding — not strapped to the sleeper. We develop it with you, prove it against reference measurement, and carry it to production. Two sleepers, two physiologies One bed, one climate, two physiologies. A single-zone product is wrong for one of the sleepers every night — and they both bought it. Sleeper A — sleep-onset insomnia Typically a cold sleeper, especially struggling with cold extremities. Struggles with Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) and significant sleep fragmentation. Chronic fragmentation is linked to 4.1x higher relative odds of depression in younger cohorts. Sleeper B — elevated OSA risk Typically a hot sleeper prone to night sweats and elevated temperatures. Habitually snores loudly (30-40% of adult men), disrupting partner sleep. Untreated Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) leads to cardiometabolic strain and Excessive Daytime Sleepiness. What the bed does while they sleep Every intervention is a closed loop — read the body, decide, act on the environment, without waking anyone. Dual-zone micro-climate Each side runs its own temperature, 55°F to 115°F, driven by biometric feedback rather than a dial. Snore mitigation When snoring persists, the base raises that sleeper's head by roughly 12° — quietly enough that neither partner wakes. Limb-movement tracking EMG resolves high-frequency micro-tremors, separating ordinary tossing and turning from Restless Leg Syndrome and Periodic Limb Movements. Vibroacoustic wind-down Delta and Theta frequencies with continuous low-amplitude vibration, to bring down the hyperarousal behind sleep-onset insomnia. What makes it feel like bedding The sensing is the textile — knitted into the sheet, the cover and the base, not clipped onto them. That is what lets a medical-grade system still feel like bedding. 01 Knitted sensing surface Dry electrodes, pressure and stretch sensing knitted directly into the sheet and cover — washable, seamless, with nothing for a sleeper to wear or remember. Textile Computing™ 02 Pressure and presence mapping A full-surface pressure field resolves posture, movement and bed occupancy — no camera in the room, no device on the body. Pressure mapping 03 Thermal actuation Heating and cooling constructions act by zone, driven from the same textile system that does the sensing. Thermal regulation 04 Signal processing and staging Raw physiology becomes sleep stages, events and trends — on our platform, or streamed into yours. The Platform 05 Characterization and evidence Every construction is characterized in-house against reference measurement before it goes near a product line. Analytical Testing Measured against polysomnography 250M+ Nights of Data Trained 55°–115°F Micro-Climate Range >90% PSG Equivalence 12° Snore Response Elev. Sleep staging Greater than 90% equivalence to polysomnography, from models trained on more than 250 million nights of data. Thermal range The micro-climate operates from 55°F to 115°F, adjusted per zone from biometric feedback. Snore response Detected acoustically, corrected mechanically — not with an alarm. Two reference systems, already built Neither is a catalogue item. Each is a build that proves a different part of the stack — and each carries its specification below. Consumer sleep Project JET Sensing, dual-zone climate and snore response built into the bed and bedding, responding to biometric signal in real time. Care setting The pressure-sensing bedsheet A monitoring surface that turns a standard mattress into a sensing bed — nothing worn, nothing to remember. Specifications and validation Project JET — closed-loop interventions + The system responds to biometric signal in real time, adjusting the sleep environment automatically. Active Dual-Zone Micro-Climate Autonomously adjusts from 55°F to 115°F based on biometric feedback. Detects pre-sweat phases to engage evaporative cooling, or generates targeted warmth to counteract cold extremities and accelerate sleep onset. Snore mitigation Acoustic and vibration sensors identify sustained snoring frequencies. The smart base silently elevates the sleeper's head by approximately 12° without waking them, opening the airway and protecting the partner's sleep. Targeted Neurological Tracking EMG bands detect high-frequency micro-tremors. The system successfully differentiates normal tossing and turning from Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) and Periodic Limb Movements (PLMS). Vibroacoustic Entrainment The base can deploy a “Wind Down” program emitting Delta (1-4Hz) and Theta (8-10Hz) wave frequencies alongside continuous low-amplitude vibration to actively reduce the hyperarousal state causing insomnia. Bedsheet — internal validation + Distinct from the Project JET sleep system, the pressure-sensing bedsheet turns a standard mattress into a monitoring surface for care settings — no garment to wear, nothing for a resident to remember. In internal validation it detected motion at ~99% accuracy, classified posture at ~94%, resolved bed occupancy at ~99.6%, and tracked respiration with a median error under 2 breaths per minute. Repositioning support Movement and posture history gives care teams the record they need to time pressure-injury-prevention repositioning. Presence & respiration Bed occupancy and breathing trends surface overnight events without cameras or worn devices. Figures are from internal validation of the bedsheet system — a product in development, not a released medical device. Three ways a sleep program starts Same stack, same discipline — a different starting point depending on what you already own. 01 Mattress and sleep-product brands A product line that has to carry a health story, and cannot feel like a medical device.

DOI 10.1007/s42765-023-00263-x Key finding A review of dry fiber-based electrodes — breathable, flexible, and durable, unlike disposable gel electrodes — for ECG, EMG, and EEG. Abstract Long-term continuous health care monitoring, using wearable technologies has received considerable interest due to the significant contribution of wearables to the diagnosis of diseases and identification of health conditions. Fibers have been widely applied in human societies due to their unique advantages, including stretchability, small diameters, high dynamic bending elasticity, high length-to-width ratios, and mechanical strength. A new generation of fiber-based electrodes is being integrated into smart textiles and wearables for continuous long-term biosignal monitoring. Dry fiber-based electrodes are breathable, flexible, and durable, unlike conventional disposable gel electrodes, which are difficult to employ for long-term applications because of skin irritation and allergic responses caused by their moist and adhesive interface with the skin. In this review, we provide a concise summary of recent breakthroughs in the design, and manufacturing of dry fiber-based electrodes for electrophysiology applications, with a particular emphasis on applications in electrocardiography, electromyography, and electroencephalography. Focusing on numerous features of electroactive fiber materials, fiber processing, electrode fabrication, scaled- up manufacturing, standardization of testing and performance criteria, we discuss current limitations and provide an outlook for the future development of this field. What this proves at MyantX This review is the scientific baseline for MyantX's smart-textile sensing: dry fiber-based electrodes that stay breathable, flexible, and durable where disposable gel electrodes irritate and fail.

DOI 10.1021/acsaelm.0c00171 Key finding Silver-based textile electrode resistance increased 100–300% over 50 wash cycles; carbon-based electrodes stabilized after ~5 cycles — both performed comparably to gold-standard hydrogel electrodes. Abstract Performance and durability of conductive yarns are essential factors to consider in the development of smart garments for textile computing applications. Conductive yarns and materials are used in various consumer and industrial products, however, their performance after washing, which is present with smart garments, is an unconventional, yet important consideration. This study investigates the impact of domestic washing on conductive silver-plated nylon and carbon- containing nylon yarns knitted into different patterns, simulating the incorporation of the conductive yarns into smart textiles. Various factors such as conductive yarn materials, types of knitting machine, and conductive feature patterns were considered. The resistance of silver-based textile electrodes increased by 100-300% over 50 wash cycles. Sulfidation and mechanical abrasion are the two main reasons for silver yarn degradation. The resistance of carbon-based textile electrodes stabilized after about five laundry cycles, showing little to no change afterward. Finally, the best performing silver and carbon electrodes were compared with gold-standard hydrogel electrodes for skin-electrode impedance and electrocardiogram measurement before and after 35 times of laundering. The results obtained demonstrated that both of the textile electrodes performed comparably to hydrogel electrodes and can be considered for continuous monitoring of biopotential signals from the human body. What this proves at MyantX Wash durability is the make-or-break test for a wearable biosensor, and this study measures it head-on — silver- and carbon-based textile electrodes tracked against gold-standard hydrogel across dozens of launderings. It underwrites the durability of our Advanced Materials platform and the wash-tested electrodes behind Textile ECG.

Abstract The emergence of “green” electronics is a response to the pressing global situation where conventional electronics contribute to resource depletion and a global build-up of waste. For wearable applications, green electronic textile (e-textile) materials present an opportunity to unobtrusively incorporate sensing, energy harvesting, and other functionality into the clothes we wear. However, the robustness and functional longevity of the majority of e-textiles made of green electronic materials are not sufficient. Here, we demonstrate knittable, washable, durable, electroactive fibers produced through a scalable roll-to-roll coating process using a biocompatible polymer:polyelectrolyte complex poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) ink. In order to analyze the fiber's wetting behavior prior to coating, surface energy of synthetic fiber materials was evaluated. For the first time, the Owens, Wendt, Rabel and Kaelble (OWRK) approach along with the Washburn method were used to determine apparent surface energies of fiber materials and calculate the work of adhesion and interfacial tension between the conductive ink and fiber substates. The coated fibers developed in this study were successfully knitted into 3D textile electrodes using an industrial-scale knitting machine and machine washed for 60 times without any deterioration in performance to collect electrocardiogram signals. The wash durability of the coated fibers in combination with the scalable coating process make these fibers suitable to be integrated into smart textiles and wearable products for various application. What this proves at MyantX Scalability is what separates a demo from a product. Here, PEDOT:PSS-coated fibers made by a roll-to-roll process were knitted into 3D textile electrodes and machine-washed 60 times with no loss of ECG performance — evidence for the manufacturability of our Advanced Materials platform and the durability behind Textile ECG.

Abstract With the rapid development of wearable devices for continuous health monitoring, researchers have focused on developing high performance electrodes for biopotential recording. It is challenging to have flexible, breathable and durable biopotential electrodes that can record high quality biosignals. This paper aims to tackle this challenge by designing and fabricating novel dry textile electrodes using conductive elastomeric filament (CEF) fibers. Using an industrial scale knitting machine, CEF fibers are knitted into dry textile electrodes. Electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings performed with CEF-based textile electrodes are comparable in signal fidelity to that of the gold standard gel electrodes. In order to assess the performance of the dry textile electrodes in more realistic circumstances, underwear garments with embedded dry textile electrodes are knitted. High fidelity ECG signals of a wearer are recorded in seated, standing and supine positions. The effect of consumer wash and dry cycles is evaluated before and after 30 cycles, through the changes in the recorded ECG signals. The frequency distribution of the ECG signals remains similar to the pre-wash state (r-squared = 0.93). The findings of this study provide fundamental insights into the behavior of CEF fibers in smart textiles for long-term electrophysiological monitoring. What this proves at MyantX This is the anchor citation for the textile-ECG signal-quality figure quoted across the site (r² = 0.93 vs clinical gel): conductive-elastomeric-filament electrodes recorded ECG comparable to gold-standard gel, with the signal's frequency distribution holding after 30 wash/dry cycles (r² = 0.93). It is the most widely cited paper on the site — the evidence behind Textile ECG and the continuous cardiac-monitoring claims across healthcare, worker-safety, first-responder, and aviation programs, among many others.

DOI 10.3390/ma14195735 Key finding Ultrasonic welding produced reliable textile-to-litz-wire connections; peeling strength dropped only ~20% after 15 wash cycles and held steady through 30. Abstract The connection between flexible textiles and stiff electronic components has always been structurally weak and a limiting factor to establish smart textiles in our everyday life. This paper focuses on reliable connections between conductive textiles and conventional litz wires by ultrasonic welding. It shows a promising approach to solve the mentioned problem. The electrical and mechanical performance of the samples were investigated after 15 and 30 wash and dry cycles in a laundry machine. Here the contact resistance and their peeling strength was measured. Furthermore, their connection properties were analysed in microsections. The resistance of the joints increased more than 300 %, because the silver coated wires suffered hard under the laundry cycles. While the mechanical strength during the peeling test decreased only about 20 % after 15 cycles and remained the same after 30 cycles. Ultrasonic welding shows good results for connecting textile electronics to conductive wires and to manufacture smart textiles. What this proves at MyantX A smart garment is only as reliable as the joints between its textile and its electronics. This DITF-partnered study shows ultrasonic welding produces textile-to-litz-wire connections that lose only about 20% peeling strength after 15 washes and hold steady through 30 — the interconnect durability behind our Advanced Materials platform.

DOI 10.1186/s12938-021-00905-4 Key finding A standard skin-electrode impedance testing framework for dry textile electrodes; impedance alone was found not to be the primary indicator of ECG signal quality. Abstract Background: Continuous long-term electrocardiography monitoring has been increasingly recognized for early diagnosis and management of different types of cardiovascular diseases. To find an alternative to Ag/AgCl gel electrodes that are improper for this application scenario, many efforts have been undertaken to develop novel flexible dry textile electrodes integrated into the everyday garments. With significant progresses made to address the potential issues (e.g., low signal to noise ratio, high skin-electrode impedance, motion artifact, and low durability), the lack of standard evaluation procedure hinders the further development of dry electrodes (mainly the design and optimization). Results: A standard testing procedure and framework for skin-electrode impedance measurement is demonstrated for the development of novel dry textile electrodes. Different representative electrode materials have been screen-printed on textile substrates. To verify the performance of dry textile electrodes, impedance measurements are conducted on an Agar skin model using a universal setup with consistent frequency and pressure. In addition, they are demonstrated for ECG signals acquisition, in comparison to those obtained using conventional gel electrodes. Conclusions: Dry textile electrodes demonstrated similar impedance when in raised or flat structures. The tested pressure variations had an insignificant impact on electrode impedance. Looking at the effect of impedance on ECG signals, a noticeable effect on ECG signal performance metrics was not observed. Therefore, it is suggested that impedance alone is possibly not the primary indicator of signal quality. As well, the developed methods can also serve as useful guidelines for future textile dry electrode design and testing for practical ECG monitoring applications. What this proves at MyantX Long-term wear is where textile ECG has to prove itself, and this KITE-partnered study builds the standard framework for testing it — notably finding that skin-electrode impedance alone is not the primary indicator of signal quality. It grounds the long-term monitoring behind our Textile ECG modality and the connected-garment work in smart apparel. It tells our engineers what to optimize for, and what to stop worrying about.

Abstract Background: The development of wearable health monitoring systems is garnering tremendous interest in research, technology and commercial applications. Their ability of providing unique capabilities in continuous, real-time, and non-invasive tracking of the physiological markers of users can provide insights into the performance and health of individuals. Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are of particular interest, as cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally. Monitoring heart health and its conditions such as ventricular disturbances and arrhythmias can be achieved through evaluating various features of ECG such as R-peaks, QRS complex, T-wave, and P-wave. Despite recent advances in biosensors for wearable applications, most of the currently available solutions rely solely on a single system attached to the body, limiting the ability to obtain reliable and multi-location biosignals. However, in engineering systems, sensor fusion, which is the optimal integration and processing of data from multiple sensors, has been a common theme and should be considered for wearables. In recent years, due to an increase in the availability and variety of different types of sensors, the possibility of achieving sensor fusion in wearable systems has become more attainable. Sensor fusion in multi- sensing systems results in significant enhancements of information inferences compared to those from systems with a sole sensor. One step towards the development of sensor fusion for wearable health monitoring systems is the accessibility to multiple reliable electrophysiological signals, which can be recorded continuously. Results: In this paper, we develop a textile-based multichannel ECG band that has the ability to measure ECG from multiple locations on the waist. As a proof of concept, we demonstrate that ECG signals can be reliably obtained from different locations on the waist where the shape of the QRS complex is nearly comparable with recordings from the chest using traditional gel electrodes. In addition, we develop a probabilistic approach—based on prediction and update strategies—to detect R-peaks from noisy textile data in different statuses, including sitting, standing, and jogging. In this approach, an optimal search method is utilized to detect R-peaks based on the history of the intervals between previously detected R-peaks. We show that the performance of our probabilistic approach in R-peak detection is significantly better than that based on Pan–Tompkins and optimal- threshold methods. What this proves at MyantX Pulling a clean ECG from a textile band at the waist — through sitting, standing, and jogging — is genuinely hard, and this study does it, pairing a multichannel band with a probabilistic R-peak detector that outperformed the standard Pan–Tompkins method on noisy signals. It backs the multi-location sensing behind our Textile ECG modality. Real signal, from a real garment, in motion.

Abstract Background: Smart textiles (i.e. electronic textiles) offer a promising solution to ease continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring, but their real-world clinical application has been limited, lagging behind basic feasibility studies. Objective: This review comprehensively examines the current state of research on textile-based ECG monitoring systems, notably synthesizing current evidence with respect to performance (i.e. signal quality, function under static and dynamic conditions), user experience, and key challenges. Methods: A literature search across scientific databases from 2000 to 2025 identified 34 research articles eligible for inclusion. Results: Textile-based ECG electrodes demonstrated good signal quality and comfort, particularly under static conditions. Nonetheless, integrating these technologies into clinical practice requires addressing critical issues, notably validation in clinical settings and populations, as well as greater attention to data privacy and security, cost-effectiveness, user-friendliness, and concerns regarding data interoperability. Conclusion: Successful clinical integration of textile-based ECG monitoring systems requires a collaborative effort in establishing comprehensive evaluation frameworks, regulatory policies, and robust clinical trials.

Abstract Background: Cardiac monitoring for children with heart disease still employs common clinical techniques that require visits to hospital either in an ambulatory or inpatient setting. Frequent cardiac monitoring, such as heart rate monitoring, can limit children’s physical activity and quality of life. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of a textile-based device (SKIIN) in measuring heart rate (HR) in different tasks: lying down, sitting, standing, exercising, and cooling-down. Methods: Twenty participants including healthy children and children with heart disease were included in this study. The difference between the heart rates (HR) recorded by the SKIIN was compared to a reference ECG collection by normalized root mean squared error (NRMSE). Participants completed a questionnaires on their experience wearing the textile device with additional parental feedback on the textile device collected. Results: Participants had median age of 14 years [10-17], with body mass index: 23.1 ± 3.8 kg/m2 and body surface area: 1.70 ± 0.25 m2. The HR recorded by SKIIN and reference system significantly changes between tasks (p<0.001), while not significantly different from each other (p>0.05). The NRMSE was 3.8 ± 3.0 % and 3.6 ± 3.7 % for healthy and the heart disease groups, respectively. All participants found the textile device non-irritating and easy to wear. Conclusions: This study provides proof of concept that HR can be robustly and conveniently monitored by smart textiles, with similar accuracy to standard of care devices. What this proves at MyantX Children are the hardest population to get a clean cardiac signal from, which makes this SickKids pilot a demanding test: in 20 children, heart rate from the SKIIN™ textile device matched reference ECG within about 3.6–3.8% NRMSE, and every participant found it non-irritating. It is the direct evidence behind our pediatric cardiac monitoring work and the Textile ECG claims across healthcare and maternal-infant care.

Abstract Smart textiles provide an opportunity to simultaneously record various electrophysiological signals from the human body, such as ECG, in a non-invasive and continuous manner. Accurate processing of ECG signals recorded using textile sensors is challenging due to the very low signal- to-noise ratio (SNR). Signal processing algorithms that can extract ECG signal out of textile-based electrode recordings, despite low SNR are needed. Presently, there are no textile ECG datasets available to develop, test and validate these algorithms. In this paper we attempted to model textile ECG signals by adding the textile sensor noise to open access ECG signals. We employed the linear predictive coding method to model different features of this noise. By approximating the linear predictive coding residual signals using Kernel Density Estimation, an artificial textile ECG noise signal was generated by filtering the residual signal with the linear predictive coding coefficients. The obtained textile sensor noise was added to the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database (MITDB), thus creating Textile-like ECG dataset consisting of 108 channels (30 min each). Furthermore, a Python code for generating textile-like ECG signals with variable SNR was also made available online. Finally, to provide a benchmark for the performance of R-peak detection algorithms on textile ECG, the five common R-peak detection algorithms: Pan & Tompkins, improved Pan & Tompkins (in Biosppy), Hamilton, Engelse, and Khamis, were tested on textile- like MITDB. This work provides an approach to generating synthetic textile ECG signals, and facilitating the development, testing, and evaluation of signal processing algorithms for textile ECGs. What this proves at MyantX Algorithms need data, and before this work there were no textile-ECG datasets to train them on. The team modeled textile sensor noise, added it to the open MIT-BIH database to synthesize 108 channels of textile-like signal, and released the Python code — the signal-processing groundwork behind our Textile EMG and Textile ECG modalities. It is how Textile Computing™ turns a noisy fabric signal into a usable one.

Abstract Introduction: In recent years, electromyography (EMG) has been increasingly studied for wearable applications. Conventional gel electrodes for electrophysiological recordings have limited use in everyday applications such as prosthetic control, or muscular therapy at home. This study investigates the efficacy and feasibility of dry contact electrode materials employed in smart textiles for EMG recordings. Methods: Dry contact electrode materials were selected and implemented on textile substrates. Using these electrodes, EMG was recorded from the forearm of able-bodied subjects. 25% and 50% isometric maximum voluntary contractions were captured. A comparative investigation was performed against gel electrodes, assessing the effect of material properties on signal fidelity and strength compared. Results: When isolating for electrode surface area and pressure, 31 of the 40 materials demonstrated strong positive correlations in their mean PSD with gel electrodes (r > 95, p < 0.001). The inclusion of ionic liquids in the material composition, and using raised or flat electrodes, did not demonstrate a significant effect in signal quality. Conclusions: For EMG dry contact electrodes, comparing the performance against gel electrodes for the application with the selected material is important. Other factors recommended to be studied are electrodes durability and long-term stability. What this proves at MyantX Which fabrics can actually read a muscle? This study answers it empirically: of 40 textile electrode materials, 31 correlated strongly with gel electrodes in EMG power spectral density (p<0.001). That materials screen is the evidence behind our Textile EMG modality and its use across prosthetics, sports, AR/VR, and space-health research.

Abstract Electromyography (EMG) is the resulting electrical signal from muscle activity, commonly used as a proxy for users’ intent in voluntary control of prosthetic devices. EMG signals are recorded with gold standard Ag/AgCl gel electrodes, though there are limitations in continuous use applications, with potential skin irritations and discomfort. Alternative dry solid metallic electrodes also face long-term usability and comfort challenges due to their inflexible and non- breathable structures. This is critical when the anatomy of the targeted body region is variable (e.g., residual limbs of individuals with amputation), and conformal contact is essential. In this study, textile electrodes were developed, and their performance in recording EMG signals was compared to gel electrodes. Additionally, to assess the reusability and robustness of the textile electrodes, the effect of 30 consumer washes was investigated. Comparisons were made between the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), with no statistically significant difference, and with the power spectral density (PSD), showing a high correlation. Subsequently, a fully textile sleeve was fabricated covering the forearm, with 14 textile electrodes. For three individuals, an artificial neural network model was trained, capturing the EMG of 7 distinct finger movements. The personalized models were then used to successfully control a myoelectric prosthetic hand What this proves at MyantX This pilot closes the loop from muscle to machine: a fully textile forearm sleeve with 14 EMG electrodes, robust across 30 washes, trained a neural network to classify seven finger movements and drove a myoelectric prosthetic hand. It is the direct evidence behind our prosthetics EMG garment work and the Textile EMG claims in prosthetics and orthotics.

Abstract Brain-computer interfaces represent a promising access method for communication and environmental interaction for individuals with profound physical disabilities. However, such systems are often large and obtrusive, limiting their practical use for daily communication. Fabric- based electrodes may offer an alternative which is wearable in naturalistic settings, enabling long- term use. We describe preliminary tests to measure and characterize EEG signals using novel fabric-based electrodes produced via seamless knitting and integrated into a comfortable headband. EEG signals were measured from five locations on the forehead, corresponding to locations in the international 10-20 system. Preliminary offline results demonstrated decreased alpha band power (7.5–12 Hz) while performing mental math compared to relaxation (both with eyes closed) in two participants. In further tests, we will investigate the ability to distinguish between mental tasks in real time. A fabric-based EEG headband could significantly impact the lives of individuals with communication disabilities by allowing an unobtrusive and comfortable means of communication through automated sensing of brain activity. The current study represents a preliminary assessment of signal quality and investigation of key characteristics distinguishable in the fabric-based EEG signal. What this proves at MyantX Reading brain signals from soft fabric is the least-mature modality in textile sensing, and this early study takes a real step: seamless-knit forehead electrodes in a headband measured decreased alpha-band power (7.5–12 Hz) during mental math versus rest.

Abstract Neurostimulation delivers electrical pulses to modulate neuromuscular activity. Commonly used in medical interventions from pain relief to rehabilitation, neurostimulation typically uses manually placed hydrogel electrodes over the treated region. However, this method limits interventions requiring frequent, long-term daily use. To address this, novel fully textile electrodes are developed using industrial programmable knitting machines. These electrodes are designed to be washable, reusable, flexible, and breathable, with embedded interconnects. Textile electrodes are made of yarns with stainless steel and PEDOT-coated stainless steel conductive components. The electrodes' performance are compared with gel electrodes, characterizing impedance, sensorimotor stimulation thresholds, recruitment of induced movements, sensation levels, and perceived sensations. The effects of residential wash cycles and continuous use duration are also investigated. The proposed electrodes are found to perform similarly to hydrogel electrodes in all characterized metrics. No degradation in electrode performance is found after at least 30 wash cycles. Electrodes remained functionally intact after 1000 cycles of stretch loading at 50% of break strain. The textile electrodes consistently induced comfortable sensorimotor responses for at least six hours after donning. The proposed textile electrodes offer a novel and effective solution for neurostimulation interventions, paving the way for integration into smart garments and long-term wearable health technologies. What this proves at MyantX Stimulation electrodes have to survive more than sensing ones, and this study proves textile ones can: fully knitted, machine-produced electrodes matched hydrogel performance with no degradation after 30+ washes and stayed functional after 1,000 stretch cycles at 50% of break strain. It is the durability evidence behind our neurostimulation garment work, the Neurostimulation and Textile EMG modalities, and the therapy claims across defense, rehabilitation, worker safety, and therapeutics.

Abstract Background: Transcutaneous neuromuscular electrical stimulation is routinely used in physical rehabilitation and more recently in brain-computer interface applications for restoring movement in paralyzed limbs. Due to variable muscle responses to repeated or sustained stimulation, grasp force levels can change significantly over time. Here we develop and assess closed-loop methods to regulate individual finger forces to facilitate functional movement. We combined this approach with custom textile-based electrodes to form a light-weight, wearable device and evaluated in paralyzed study participants. Methods: A textile-based electrode sleeve was developed by the study team and Myant, Corp. (Toronto, ON, Canada) and evaluated in a study involving three able-body participants and two participants with quadriplegia. A feedforward-feedback control structure was designed and implemented to accurately maintain finger force levels in a quadriplegic study participant. Results: Individual finger flexion and extension movements, along with functional grasping, were evoked during neuromuscular electrical stimulation. Closed-loop control methods allowed accurate steady state performance (< 15% error) with a settling time of 0.67 s (SD = 0.42 s) for individual finger contact force in a participant with quadriplegia. Conclusions: Textile-based electrodes were identified to be a feasible alternative to conventional electrodes and facilitated individual finger movement and functional grasping. Furthermore, closed-loop methods demonstrated accurate control of individual finger flexion force. This approach may be a viable solution for enabling grasp force regulation in quadriplegia. What this proves at MyantX This Feinstein-partnered study shows textile electrodes doing what a gel pad cannot easily do — closing the loop: feedforward-feedback NMES regulated individual finger grasp force in a participant with quadriplegia to under 15% steady-state error with a 0.67-second settling time.

Abstract Introduction: Repeated use of functional electrical stimulation can promote functional recovery in individuals with neurological paralysis. We designed garments able to deliver functional electrical stimulation. Methods: Shirts and pants containing electrodes knitted with a conductive yarn were produced. Electrodes were moistened with water before use. Stimulation intensity at four thresholds levels (sensory, movement, full range of motion, and maximal), stimulation comfort, and electrical properties of the interface were tested in one able-bodied subject with garment electrodes and size- matched conventional gel electrodes. The pants and shirt were then used to explore usability and design limitations. Results: Compared to gel electrodes, fabric electrodes had a lower sensory threshold (on forearm muscles) but they had a higher maximal stimulation threshold (for all tested muscles). The stimulation delivery was comfortable when the garment electrodes were recently moistened; however, as the electrodes dried (within 9 to 18 min) stimulation became unpleasant. Inconsistent water content in the fabric electrodes caused inconsistent intensity thresholds and inconsistent voltage necessary to apply a desired stimulation current. Garments’ tightness and impracticality of electrode lead necessitate further design improvement. Conclusions: Fabric electrodes offer a promising alternative to gel electrodes. Further work involving people with paralysis is required to overcome the identified challenges. What this proves at MyantX Before stimulation can be delivered from clothing, the garment itself has to work — and this KITE-partnered proof of concept shows shirts and pants with conductive-yarn electrodes delivering FES comfortably, with a lower sensory threshold than gel on forearm muscles.

Abstract Purpose: Functional electrical stimulation (FES), through repetitive training (FES-therapy) or continuous assistance (neuro-prosthesis), can restore motor function after paralysis due to spinal cord injury or stroke. With current technology, patients are often incapable of independently applying FES, thereby limiting its use. Novel FES-garments with embedded stimulation electrodes were developed in collaboration with Myant, Canada, to address this problem. The purpose of this study was to collect the views of future end-users to inform the refinement of the device design and to obtain insights on subsequent commercialization of this rehabilitation and assistive technology. Methods: A qualitative study was undertaken to determine the needs of potential users (patients and clinicians; n = 19). Participant took part in interviews or focus groups after a presentation of the garments. An inductive content analysis was used to generate the themes from the data and identify data saturation. Results: The identified themes and sub-themes were: (1) User Perspectives: users' characteristics (needs, limitations), expected benefits (beliefs), and anticipated problems (fears); (2) Device Design: technical features, usability, and disadvantages of the garment, cables, stimulator, software, and interface; (3) Acquisition Process: organizational procedures (acquisition and adoption steps); and (4) Business Model: financial and strategic aspects to facilitate commercialization and support users. Conclusions: The insights obtained from end-users and clinicians provide guidelines to optimize the development of novel FES-garments, and strategies for bringing the device to the market. The themes identified can serve to inform other rehabilitation and assistive technology developers with processes and ideas on how to meet these groups' needs. What this proves at MyantX Technology that ignores its users does not get adopted, so this qualitative study asked 19 patients and clinicians what a wearable FES garment actually has to be — surfacing requirements for design, acquisition, and business model.

Abstract Gait analysis provides an optimal method for classification of an individuals fall risk. However, to ensure the gait data is non-biased, data during activities of daily living (ADL) is necessary. With ADL data, a new technical challenge arises through the issue of being able to reliably detect and classify gait bouts during free-living activities without any user intervention. Current solutions for gait bout detection, such as Python library GaitPy, attempt to solve this issue through machine learning (ML) models [1]. While GaitPy does provide promising results, it fails to accurately detect smaller gait bouts (i.e., less than 10 steps) which are usually completed during ADL and are indicative to classification of an individuals fall risk. Additionally, due to variances in sensor setups, one ML model may preform excellent for one environment, but fail to reproduce the results for a slightly different environment. The focus of the present study is to investigate the use of a ML model for ADL gait bout detection for the Myant SKIIN garments which use a triaxial accelerometer located on the waist in front of the left anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS). Being able to reliably detect gait is imperative for proper gait data collection due to the dependency the fidelity of the analysis has on data quality. After analyzing the proposed random forest model for Myant SKIIN garments, we conclude the new model outperforms GaitPy in detecting smaller bouts. These findings provide a promising outlook for the detection of gait bouts during ADL and the assessment of an individuals fall risk. What this proves at MyantX Fall risk shows up in the small, everyday walks a lab never captures. Using SKIIN™ garments with a waist accelerometer, a random-forest model outperformed the standard GaitPy tool at detecting short gait bouts (under 10 steps) during ordinary daily activity. It is the evidence behind our smart-insole work and the gait, mobility, and fall-risk claims across sports, geriatric, wellness, worker-safety, home-health, and aviation programs.

DOI 10.1186/s12883-023-03312-5 Key finding A participatory co-design study defined end-user priorities for balance interventions combining functional electrical stimulation with visual feedback training for standing balance. Abstract Background: Most individuals living with spinal cord injuries/diseases (SCI/D) or stroke experience at least one fall each year; hence, the development of interventions and technologies that target balance control is needed. The purpose of this study was to identify and explore the priorities for balance-focused interventions and technologies from the perspectives of end-users to assist with the design of an intervention that combines functional electrical stimulation (FES) with visual feedback training for standing balance. Methods: Two individuals with SCI/D, one individual with stroke, two physical therapists (PT) and one hospital administrator were recruited. Participants attended three focus group meetings that followed a participatory co-design approach. A semi-structured interview guide, developed from the FAME (Feasibility, Appropriateness, Meaningfulness, Effectiveness, Economic Evidence) framework, was used to lead the discussion, querying participants’ experiences with balance deficits and interventions, and FES. Results: Four themes were identified: (1) Balance is meaningful for daily life and rehabilitation. Participants acknowledged various factors influencing balance control and how balance deficits interfered with participation in activities. End-users stressed the importance of continuing to work on one’s balance after discharge from hospital-based rehabilitation. (2) Desired characteristics of balance interventions. Participants explained that balance interventions should be tailored to an individual’s unique needs and goals, relevant to their lives, balance their safety and risk, and be engaging. (3) Prior experiences with FES to inform future therapeutic use. Participants with stroke or SCI/D described initial apprehension with FES, but experienced numerous benefits that motivated them to continue with FES. Challenges with FES were mentioned, including wires, cost, and time of set up. (4) Potential role of FES in balance interventions. Participants felt that FES would complement balance interventions; however, they had not experienced this combination of therapies previously. Conclusions: End-users described how their experiences with balance deficits, rehabilitation, and FES informed their priorities for balance interventions. The findings inform the design and implementation of future balance interventions for individuals with SCI/D or stroke, including an intervention involving FES and visual feedback training. What this proves at MyantX Good rehabilitation targets what patients actually need, so this co-design study worked with people living with spinal-cord injury or stroke to prioritize a balance intervention combining FES with visual-feedback training.

Abstract Background: Cycle monitoring clinical visits currently involve frequent inconvenient and uncomfortable blood draws to monitor hormone profiles to predict ovulation. Wearable technology has been developed to knit sensors into fabric that offers an accurate, non-invasive alternative method of monitoring personal physiology to predict timing of ovulation. This study tracked menstrual cycle phases by monitoring body temperature and heart rate with textile-based wearable sensors. The wearables' ability to continuously and non-invasively monitor physiological changes was compared to conventional blood and ultrasound cycle monitoring practices. Methods: Twenty-two patients have enrolled; 2 patients have withdrawn and 9 have completed monitoring to date. Menstruation and luteinizing hormone (LH) results were tracked via personal spreadsheets. Skiin monitoring platform with textile-based sensors in clothing continuously measured ECG and activity, and estimated body temperature (BT) without direct skin contact. BT and heart rate (HR) were calculated from recorded temperature and ECG data between 1 AM and 5 AM, averaged over 5-minute periods. BT and HR trends for follicular, fertile, and luteal phases were plotted to visualize physiological changes throughout the cycle. Results: Generated plots compared with conventional hormone results showed distinct patterns in BT and HR during menstrual cycle phases. In the follicular phase, BT ranges between 36.1°C to 36.7°C and reaches its lowest point before ovulation which offers a clear prediction of ovulation. After ovulation, BT rises by 0.28°C to 0.6°C and remains elevated through the luteal phase, returning to lower levels just before menstrual bleeding. HR is higher during the fertile phase compared to the follicular phase, peaking in the luteal phase. Conclusions: Results from this study confirms that wearable technology can reliably predict ovulation. Furthermore, it highlights the Skiin platform's potential for personalized menstrual health tracking. Unlike conventional wearables, Skiin provides continuous real-time monitoring of physiological markers such as ECG, activity, and BT directly integrated into garments. This 24/7 monitoring offers a comprehensive view of the wearer's health, aiding in detecting subtle changes across menstrual cycle phases. The smart textile innovation can reliably detect ovulation phases, serving as a tool for predicting fertile windows and supporting family planning. This non- invasive user-friendly solution provides an alternative to regular blood draws for hormone analysis which is often cited as a deterrent to women seeking infertility treatment. What this proves at MyantX Fertility care still leans on repeated blood draws; this McMaster and ONE Fertility study shows a gentler path. SKIIN™ textile sensors tracking body temperature and heart rate reliably predicted ovulation in women undergoing IUI, with basal temperature rising 0.28–0.6 °C after ovulation. It is the evidence behind the ovulation and cycle-tracking claims across our women's-health, maternal-infant, and healthcare programs.

DOI 10.1063/5.0079898 Key finding An air-microfluidic soft robotic sleeve (35×20×5 mm chips, 16 channels) produced gradient compression for lymph circulation with no moving parts — toward wearable self-care lymphedema management. Abstract A proof of concept of a novel air microfluidics-enabled soft robotic sleeve to enable lymphedema treatment is presented. Compression sleeves represent the current, suboptimal standard of care, and stationary pumps assist with lymph drainage; however, effective systems that are truly wearable while performing daily activities are very scarce. This problematic trade-off between performance and wearability requires a new solution, which is addressed by an innovative microfluidic device. Its novelty lies in the use of light, small, and inexpensive air microfluidic chips (35 × 20 × 5 mm3 in size) that bring three major advantages compared to their traditional counterparts. First, each chip is designed with 16 fluidic channels with a cross-sectional area varying from 0.04 to 1 mm2, providing sequential inflation and uniform deflation capability to eight air bladders, thereby producing intentional gradient compression to the arm to facilitate lymph fluid circulation. The design is derived from the fundamentals of microfluidics, in particular, hydraulic resistance and paths of least resistance. Second, the air microfluidic chip enables miniaturization of at least eight bulky energy-consuming valves to two miniature solenoid valves for control increasing wearability. Third, the air microfluidic chip has no moving parts, which reduces the noise and energy needed. The cost, simplicity, and scale-up potential of developing methods for making the system are also detailed. The sequential inflation, uniform deflation, and pressure gradient are demonstrated, and the resulted compression and internal air bladder pressure were evaluated. This air microfluidics-enabled sleeve presents tremendous potential toward future improvements in self-care lymphedema management. What this proves at MyantX Lymphedema care is usually clinic-bound and bulky; this Waterloo-partnered study points to a wearable alternative — an air-microfluidic soft-robotic sleeve (16 channels, no moving parts) producing gradient compression to move lymph. It grounds the compression-therapy claims across our therapeutics, women's-health, and healthcare programs. Actuation, not just sensing, delivered from a soft textile.

DOI 10.1080/02786826.2022.2130029 Key finding A reusable multilayer knit mask achieved >97.3% filtration for large particles and 89.9–98.4% for fine particles, maintaining performance after 50 wash/dry cycles. Abstract After the rapid spread of SARS-Cov-2 virus, the use of masks were suggested by the world health organization (WHO) to reduce the virus transmission, whose primary mode of transmission is suggested to be through respiratory droplets. The recommended face coverings were single use surgical and respirator masks made of non-woven materials. With the increased demand for masks worldwide, the environmental impacts of mask disposal and the pollution caused by microplastic fibers of the non-woven materials was presented. This challenge necessitates the need for the development of a novel reusable mask reducing the environmental effects, while providing the necessary personal protective properties. Based on the ASTM F2299 specifications, the performance, i.e., particle-size dependent filtration efficiency and pressure drop were studied for 20 samples with multilayer knit fabrics of natural and synthetic fibers (inner layer of pure cotton, cotton-nylon and cotton-polyester, middle layer of Lycra, and outer layer of superhydrophobic polyester). The results show that all the samples have an efficiency of >97.3% and 89.9-98.4% for large and fine particles, respectively. The best performing structure has a material composition of 41% superhydrophobic polyester, 26% natural cotton, 24% nylon and 9% Lycra. The filtration efficiency, pressure drop, and quality factor for this sample is 97.8% (for 100 nm particles), 4.04 mmmmHH2 OO/cccc2 and 4.77 kkkkkk-1 , respectively. It was also demonstrated that the developed mask maintained its performance after 50 wash/dry cycles, verifying its reusability. What this proves at MyantX Reusability without losing protection is a materials problem, and this study solves it to spec: a multilayer knit mask reaching over 97% filtration for large particles and roughly 90–98% for fine particles, holding performance after 50 wash/dry cycles per ASTM F2299. It is filtration evidence for our Advanced Materials platform. Proof that an engineered smart textile can replace single-use protection with no performance penalty.

Abstract Health care supply chain management is a dynamic process requiring a constant flow of products between producers and consumers. The COVID-19 pandemic (i.e., Coronavirus disease 2019) has led to disruptions in a variety of supply chain networks, particularly in the healthcare industry. This study proposes a flexible optimization model to configure a robust antiviral mask supply chain network (SCN) under uncertainty. The government of Ontario (i.e., a province of Canada) encourages medical supply producers to switch their operations to produce personal protective equipment (e.g., antiviral masks) during the COVID-19 pandemic. On this matter, there are many uncertain parameters (e.g., variable costs, market demands, and capacity levels of facilities) for medical supply producers to be a part of this plan. Furthermore, companies are expected to run their operations based on sustainable manners due to government policies in Ontario. The concept of sustainability includes the economic, environmental, and social pillars. Therefore, the proposed model is extended to a robust multi-objective model to consider multiple objectives under uncertainty. The application of the proposed model is illustrated in the Greater Area Toronto (GTA), Canada. What this proves at MyantX Making a good material is only half the challenge; getting it to people resiliently is the other half. This multi-objective optimization study models a robust antiviral-mask supply chain under uncertainty, balancing economic, environmental, and social objectives across the Greater Toronto Area. It reflects the systems-level, concept-to-market thinking behind MyantX as an advanced-materials partner — evidence that our expertise runs from the fiber to the supply chain.

DOI 10.3390/ani12233254 Key finding A smart textile girth band (silver + carbon yarns) recorded ECG in 22 unrestrained horses with quality statistically indistinguishable from Ag/AgCl gel electrodes (kSQI = 0.98 vs 0.99). Abstract Electrocardiography (ECG) is an essential tool in assessing equine health and fitness. However, standard ECG devices are expensive and rely on the use of adhesive electrodes, which may become detached and are associated with reduced ECG quality over time. Smart textile electrodes composed of stainless-steel fibers have previously been shown to be a suitable alternative in horses at rest and during exercise. The objective of this study was to compare ECG quality using a smart textile girth band knit with silver and carbon yarns to standard adhesive silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes. Simultaneous three-lead ECGs were recorded using a smart textile band and Ag/AgCl electrodes in 22 healthy, mixed-breed horses that were unrestrained in stalls. ECGs were compared using the following quality metrics: Kurtosis (k) value, Kurtosis signal quality index (kSQI), percentage of motion artifacts (%MA), peak signal amplitude, and heart rate (HR). Two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison tests was conducted to compare each metric. No significant differences were found in any of the assessed metrics between the smart textile band and Ag/AgCl electrodes, with the exception of peak amplitude. Kurtosis and kSQI values were excellent for both methods (textile mean k = 21.8 ± 6.1, median kSQI = 0.98 [0.92– 1.0]; Ag/AgCl k = 21.2 ± 7.6, kSQI = 0.99 [0.97–1.0]) with <0.5% (<1 min) of the recording being corrupted by MAs for both. This study demonstrates that smart textiles are a practical and reliable alternative to the standard electrodes typically used in ECG monitoring of horses. What this proves at MyantX A signal that holds on an unrestrained, constantly moving horse is a stringent durability test for textile ECG. In 22 unrestrained horses, a smart textile girth band knit with silver and carbon yarns produced ECG statistically indistinguishable from adhesive Ag/AgCl electrodes (signal-quality index 0.98 vs 0.99). It is a striking piece of cross-species evidence behind our Textile ECG modality — if it works on a moving horse, the case for smart-textile cardiac sensing in people only gets stronger.

The more useful story is about machines getting new senses. First they learned to read text. Then to see images. Then to hear and produce speech. Each new sense opened an entire category of systems that could not have existed the day before. The next sense may be continuous physiological context outside the clinic and laboratory. Systems that can access reliable cardiac, muscular, neural, thermal, and movement signals over longer periods could support new forms of monitoring, research, and human–machine interaction. The open question is whether those signals can be captured with enough fidelity, comfort, durability, and governance to be useful in everyday settings. AI can only act on what it can sense of us. 02 The body remains difficult to read continuously The body produces many signals at once: cardiac rhythm, muscle activation, temperature, respiration, movement, and more. High-quality measurement of those signals often remains episodic or constrained to specialized settings. Consumer devices have extended selected measurements into daily life, but generally from narrower sensing locations and modalities. The unresolved gap is not that the body is unread. It is that continuous, context-rich physiological measurement remains difficult to achieve without adding friction to everyday life. 03 The interface has to fit everyday life For physiological measurement to extend beyond scheduled tests, the interface must be comfortable, repeatable, and compatible with ordinary activity. Textiles are one candidate because they can maintain distributed contact with the body while remaining familiar and conformable. In specific tested constructions, textile electrodes have produced meaningful signals. One study recorded ECG comparable in signal fidelity to gel electrodes from knitted CEF constructions, holding r² = 0.93 after 30 wash/dry cycles. In a separate pediatric pilot, a SKIIN™ implementation measured heart rate with 3.6–3.8% NRMSE against reference ECG in twenty children. The signal is not only cardiac. In separate studies, textile electrodes correlated with gel electrodes for muscle activity — 31 of 40 candidate materials at p<0.001 — and seamless-knit fabric electrodes resolved a decrease in alpha-band brain activity during mental effort. Each result is specific to its construction and population, but together they suggest one approach can reach more than a single physiological signal. Those results do not establish a universal textile-sensing platform. They show that carefully engineered textile interfaces can produce useful physiological measurements under defined conditions. 04 Toward an interoperable layer No single physiological signal defines the body, and no single implementation will serve every use. The longer-term opportunity is to coordinate multiple sensing and response functions through interoperable textile, electronic, connectivity, and software layers. MyantX's thesis is that these systems could eventually provide a governed interface through which clinical, research, and connected-product applications access the signals appropriate to their intended use. That remains an architectural direction, not a general-purpose foundation available today. 05 A layer that could both sense and respond Separate MyantX research and development programs have demonstrated sensing and actuation in textile form factors. Textile electrodes have captured electrophysiological signals. Other textile systems have delivered neuromuscular or functional electrical stimulation, while knitted structures have been developed for controlled heating. In one closed-loop study, textile electrodes were used to regulate grasp force in one participant with quadriplegia to under 15% steady-state error. That result demonstrates a specific sense-and-response configuration. It does not establish that every sensing textile can also deliver therapy, or that the same construction performs every function. The broader opportunity is to coordinate sensing, interpretation, and response within application-specific systems. 06 What could be built on it The practical challenge is to translate individual demonstrations into governed, application-specific systems that people can use consistently and that partners can validate for a defined purpose. MyantX's longer-term thesis is that textiles and other soft interfaces could become an important physical interface between people and intelligent systems. The work today is to establish the materials, sensing methods, architecture, evidence, and manufacturing pathways required to make that direction credible.

The patient between those episodes is largely invisible. Continuous textile sensing is one way that in-between patient could become visible.

A blood pressure at an annual physical. An ECG during a symptomatic episode that may never recur on cue. A sleep study for a single night in an unfamiliar bed. Between those points, the record is empty. But the events that matter rarely schedule themselves for the appointment. The deterioration, the arrhythmia, the fall, the fertile window, the recovery plateau — they happen in the weeks of ordinary life that no instrument is watching. AI trained on episodes inherits the blind spots of episodes. The patient between visits is where the signal lives — and where the instruments aren't. 02 Continuous signal, from apparel Textile sensing narrows that gap by making the garment the instrument. Identified SKIIN™ implementations have been developed to capture combinations of ECG, heart rate and variability, respiration, temperature, and movement from what a patient already wears; the exact signals, intended use, evidence, and regulatory status depend on the product and configuration. And in tested constructions the signal can hold up — textile ECG comparable to gel electrodes in one study (r² = 0.93 after 30 washes), pediatric heart rate at 3.6–3.8% NRMSE in twenty children, with a body of ambulatory-ECG literature behind the approach. That approach is being tested clinically rather than only in the lab. An ongoing registered trial (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05983484), run with Southlake Regional Health Centre, is comparing continuous textile monitoring against conventional Holter recording — the premise being that a multi-day continuous record can surface arrhythmic events that a 24-to-48-hour Holter window can miss. That is a hypothesis under evaluation, not a settled result. The result the approach aims at is a stream rather than a snapshot — continuous physiology captured across the ordinary weeks episodic care never sees. The objective is to reduce the friction associated with episodic or separately attached measurement systems while preserving the signal quality required for the intended use. 03 From monitoring to intervention Across separate textile-sensing and textile-actuation programs, MyantX has explored both measurement and response. In one study, closed-loop neuromuscular stimulation from a garment regulated grasp force in a participant with quadriplegia to under 15% steady-state error. Functional electrical stimulation garments for stroke and spinal-cord-injury recovery were developed with rehabilitation clinicians, with a qualitative study of nineteen patients and clinicians shaping their design. In fertility care, continuous temperature and heart rate from textile sensors predicted ovulation in a cohort undergoing IUI — a non-invasive alternative to repeated blood draws. In that direction, monitoring and intervention could become two sides of one loop rather than separate products — each combination requiring its own architecture, validation, and regulatory pathway. 04 The decisions continuous data could support The value of a continuous stream is not more charts — it is better decisions. Four in particular become answerable with data from between visits, provided the signal is validated for the purpose. Detection — does a meaningful change appear between scheduled encounters, rather than only at the next appointment? Baseline — how does an individual differ from their own normal pattern, rather than from a population average? Escalation — when is a change significant enough that a clinician or service should intervene? Response — can a connected product adapt safely within a defined, validated protocol? None of these is automatic. Each depends on signal quality, validation for the intended use, and governance. But continuous physiology is the input they require, and episodic care cannot supply it. 05 The direction The forward path is a governed foundation where clinicians and developers could reach the body safely and by permission — aimed at continuous, non-invasive care rather than a single device. Because the interface is fabric, it could meet patients in their own lives without asking them to accept anything more than the textiles they already wear. How far that reaches — and at what scale — is what the work is still to prove.

It is evaluated against clinical references, scoped to the construction tested. In one study, ECG from knitted CEF textile electrodes was comparable in signal fidelity to gold-standard gel electrodes (r² = 0.93 after 30 wash cycles), and a SKIIN™ device matched reference ECG for pediatric heart rate at 3.6–3.8% NRMSE in twenty children. Those figures describe those configurations, not a universal product-wide result. How is this different from a consumer wearable? Consumer wearables typically read an optical pulse signal from one location such as the wrist. Textile computing can capture multi-lead electrophysiology — ECG, EMG, EEG — plus temperature, respiration, and movement across the body. Suitability for any clinical use still has to be established for the intended use. Have textile systems been demonstrated for both sensing and actuation? Yes, but in different constructions and studies. Textile electrodes have been evaluated for physiological sensing, while separate systems have delivered electrical stimulation and controlled heating. A combined product requires its own architecture, validation, intended use, and regulatory pathway. References — the evidence behind the argument 01 Textile-based Wearable to Monitor Heart Activity in Pediatric Population: a Pilot Study In 20 children (healthy and with heart disease), heart rate from the SKIIN™ textile device matched reference ECG with NRMSE of 3.8 ± 3.0% and 3.6 ± 3.7%; all participants found it non-irritating. 02 Applications of Smart Textiles for Ambulatory Electrocardiogram Monitoring: Scoping Review of the Literature A scoping review of 34 articles (2000–2025): textile ECG electrodes show good signal quality and comfort, especially under static conditions, with clinical validation and data interoperability the key open challenges. 03 Closed-Loop Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Using Feedforward-Feedback Control and Textile Electrodes to Regulate Grasp Force In Quadriplegia Closed-loop NMES with textile electrodes regulated individual finger force in a quadriplegic participant to <15% steady-state error with a 0.67 s settling time (SD = 0.42 s). 04 End-User and Clinician Perspectives On The Viability of Wearable Functional Electrical Stimulation Garments After Stroke and Spinal Cord Injury A qualitative study (n = 19 patients and clinicians) surfaced design, acquisition, and business-model requirements to guide commercialization of wearable FES garments. 05 Wearable technology effectively predicts ovulation in women undergoing IUI treatment SKIIN™ textile sensors tracking body temperature and heart rate reliably predicted ovulation, offering a non-invasive alternative to repeated blood draws in fertility treatment.

Textile stimulation and sensing could make rehabilitation continuous, and close the loop between measuring and treating.

A therapist sees a patient for an hour, once or twice a week; the other hundred-odd waking hours — where the recovery actually happens or stalls — go unrecorded. Adherence is guessed at, plateaus are noticed late, and the exercises done wrong at home quietly undo the ones done right in clinic. AI could transform recovery — personalizing protocols, predicting plateaus, catching regression early — but only if it can see the patient between sessions. Trained on twice-weekly snapshots, a model inherits the same blind spot the clinician has. Recovery happens in the hours between appointments — exactly where no instrument is watching. 02 Therapy that comes home, in a garment Textile interfaces may extend selected sensing and stimulation functions beyond supervised clinic sessions, provided the garment, control system, protocol, and intended use are validated together. Functional electrical stimulation garments for recovery after stroke and spinal cord injury have been developed with rehabilitation clinicians — delivering stimulation from fabric rather than a rigid device strapped on for a single session. Under defined laboratory protocols, the tested textile stimulation electrodes matched the comparison condition, remained functional after 30 wash cycles and 1,000 stretch cycles at 50% of break strain, and delivered comfortable responses for at least six hours of continuous wear. Laboratory durability is not the same as general real-world durability, but it is what makes wearing, washing, and re-wearing a therapy plausible. 03 From monitoring to a closed loop A future closed-loop rehabilitation system would coordinate sensing and stimulation. In one closed-loop neuromuscular stimulation study — run with the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research — feedforward–feedback control with textile electrodes regulated individual finger grasp force in one participant with quadriplegia to under 15% steady-state error, with 0.67-second settling. The controller adjusted stimulation in response to measured force within that experimental configuration. Translating the approach into unsupervised home use would require additional clinical, usability, safety, and regulatory validation. 04 Built with clinicians Rehabilitation technology fails when it ignores the people who use it. MyantX's FES-garment work was shaped by a qualitative study of nineteen patients and clinicians defining what a wearable-FES garment must do to be viable, and a standing-balance intervention was co-designed directly with spinal-cord-injury and stroke end-users alongside rehabilitation researchers, including the KITE Research Institute at Toronto Rehab (University Health Network). Co-design helps identify practical requirements that signal performance alone cannot reveal, including comfort, donning, adherence, setup, supervision, and integration into clinical workflows. 05 What AI does with a continuous recovery signal Give a model the full arc of recovery — adherence, muscle activation, gait, balance, day after day — and rehabilitation stops being reactive. Protocols adapt to how a specific patient is actually responding. Plateaus and regressions surface early enough to change course. Remote and hospital-at-home programs get a signal they can act on, not a self-report. The bridge to that future is not another clinic device. It is the garment itself, sensing and stimulating in a loop — a human-recovery data layer that adaptive rehabilitation AI could run on.
