Hexoskin- A Bluetooth Built-in Sensor Shirt for Intuitive Fitness and Health Tracking


hexoskin-wearable-body-metricsWe've all heard of fitness trackers; from the simplex (and often free) smartphone apps, watches and other wearables specifically designed to track calories, heart rate and distance. However, just how much quantifying do these gadgets cater to your personal health tracking needs? What if you had the desire to not only track caloric intake and output, steps taken or miles run, but rather track your life on higher levels? There are most certainly other essential bodily functions that need attention! Perhaps sleep and meditation monitoring! Or, going further into your personal performance with a programmable training plan that could record ECG and breathing! If any of this sounds advantageous to you, I have great news. The Hexoskin not only does all of this and more, it goes beyond any wearable performance transmitter to date; with the extra perk of being the most unobtrusive, practical and snug system of its kind.

hexoskin-3-300x298With the thoughtfully engineered Hexoskin, the personal quest to track health and wellness is more easily manifested than ever, with health stats digitizing/uploading in real time. Physiological data monitoring is essential (yet not always used) for serious athletes. Of course not limited to Olympic endeavors, personal trainers, coaches and even those with medical conditions will greatly benefit from this ECG sensor-packed shirt. Recently launched on Indiegogo, this washable, comfortable and smart shirt contains sensors for transmitting athletic and wellness data. All that is needed is a simple plug-in to the box that sneakily slips into the shirt and a smartphone app where your data can then be viewed. Specially designed to stand up to real training conditions (from simple activity to vigorous sports such as football and hockey), the high-tech, breathable Italian fabric withstands moisture, heat and contact with 100% textile biometric sensors. Whether your goal is to keep tabs on your body metrics immediately, perhaps during triathlon training, or to upload it later, Hexoskin has the specs to impress.

Even better is way it simplifies the evaluation and comparison from athlete to athlete for you! From your mobile you can access your trainee's complete set of body metrics, performance and progression, alter or update drills and even add notes for each exercise. For personal use it's just as wondrous. A solo training app is also free with the following tools: GPS, connectivity to smart wearables, real-time data display, and programmable training plans you can create based on your own physiological results. With the most precise breath measurement without a need of a mask, ECG and breathing sensors are perfect for providing reports on calm activities such as sleep, meditation and stress levels during the day. Sophisticated, connected, safe and beautifully designed, Hexoskin from Indiegogo also provides free and unlimited data storage along with the option for sharing, syncing and exporting to other apps and sites. Finally, the most gripping thought to wrap your head around is as follows: beyond the serious athlete domain, Hexoskin technology may begin a smart clothing phenomenon for preventative and personalized medicine use, monitoring the aged at home, and a future where passive health monitoring through clothing could be the norm; could save lives.
