System architecture & integration
Materials, sensing, electronics, and software integrated into one system — the architecture and interfaces that hold every layer together.

Every discipline a connected product needs
A connected product only works when every layer is engineered to fit the others — these are the disciplines that make that happen, all in-house.
Sensing & body interface
Real signals — ECG, EMG, motion, pressure — captured through the right modality, from dry electrodes to knitted textile sensors, no gels or adhesives.
Electronics & power
Signal acquisition, embedded modules, connectors, power, and wireless communications — the hardware that makes the sensing interface a working device.
Firmware, software & data
Embedded control, connectivity, and the data, algorithms, and apps that turn raw signal into something you can act on.
Industrial design & form
Fit, ergonomics, durability, and the human factors that decide whether people actually keep using the product.
Validation & regulatory
Evidence on the specific build — signal quality, wash-and-wear, safety — plus the design controls a regulated product needs.
How we build a product
Five stages, run as one program — enter at any of them, with a concept or an existing product to connect.
- 01Define
The product, the people who use it, the requirements it has to meet, and the architecture behind it.
- 02Engineer
The interface, electronics, firmware, software, and data — designed together as one system.
- 03Prototype
A working build to test and refine against the real requirement.
- 04Validate
Prove the specific product against its intended use — performance, durability, and safety.
- 05Transfer to production
The manufacturing, technical-transfer, or supply route that takes it toward volume.
Develop a smart-textile product
Textile Computing™ is MyantX's platform for knitted smart textiles — the fabric captures ECG, EMG, motion, and pressure, then responds with heat or stimulation.
Case studies
A few of the programs we've taken from first concept through validation and into production.
01 — 03
AutomotiveThe connected cabin, knitted into Project Arrow
An ECG steering wheel and a 225-cell pressure-sensing seat, built into Canada's concept EV and shown publicly at CES 2023.
HealthcarePediatric cardiac monitoring, validated at SickKids
In a 20-child SickKids pilot, continuous heart rate matched reference ECG to within 3.6–3.8% NRMSE across real activity.
ProstheticsProsthesis control from a textile EMG sleeve
A washable 14-electrode knitted EMG sleeve drove a myoelectric hand — muscle signal read straight from the fabric.
Sectors we build for
Connected products developed for regulated, demanding markets — each with its own operating and evidence requirements.
Quality & compliance
Programs run within Myant's certified management systems, with design controls and product-specific regulatory records maintained per program.
- ISO 9001:2015Quality management
- ISO 14001:2015Environmental management
- ISO 45001:2018Occupational health & safety
- Health Canada Establishment Licence #106352Medical devices, Class II
Why a single team owns it
A connected product is only as good as the integration between its layers — material, electronics, software, and the line. MyantX owns every stage.
One accountable partner
One team owns the material, electronics, and software — so integration risk isn't passed between vendors, and one group stays accountable when the product changes.
Evidence on the actual product
Every performance claim is tested on the specific build, never inherited — the rigor behind peer-reviewed results like knitted-textile ECG matching gel electrodes at r² = 0.93.
A real path to volume
The campus runs from early research (TRL 1) to manufacturing readiness (MRL 9), with pilot and production lines on site — so a prototype doesn't stall before volume.
Frequently asked questions
Not seeing your question? Talk to the team that would run your program.
Discuss a projectWhat 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.
