Cardiac sensing from knitted dry electrodes — no gel, no adhesive.
Smart textiles that sense, respond, and connect
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.
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.
Muscle activation, read straight from apparel.
Brain-signal sensing in soft, wearable textile.
Targeted stimulation through dry textile electrodes — NMES and TENS.
Load, posture, and contact mapped across a whole surface.
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.
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.
- 01Textile interface
The physical structure designed around contact, fit, stretch, placement, comfort, and function.
- 02Sensing and actuation
Supported functional zones for measurement, stimulation, thermal response, haptics, or other product-specific behaviours.
- 03Textile interconnects
Conductive pathways connecting distributed functions with the relevant electronics.
- 04Electronics and power
Signal acquisition, conditioning, control, stimulation, power, and communications hardware.
- 05Firmware and connectivity
Embedded control, device communication, timing, and connected-system integration.
- 06Data handling and software
Product-specific processing, visualization, analytics, interfaces, and workflow logic.
- 07Product, workflow and service layer
The final workflow, user experience, application, software environment, or enterprise system.

One of two technology domains
Textile Computing™ works alongside Advanced Materials — the two often form one connected system, though each also runs on its own program.
Textile Computing™
Turn textiles into functional interfaces
Sensing, actuation, conductive pathways, electronics, connectivity, and product architecture, integrated into textiles and soft surfaces — garments, bands, insoles, seating, interior surfaces, and therapeutic systems.
Advanced Materials
Engineer new functions at the material level
Conductive systems, engineered particles, and functional yarns and coatings — plus responsive materials in development. Each has its own composition, maturity, and pathway, detailed in the Materials hub.
