A word from Hexoskin for World Alzheimer Day
This September 21st, we would like to highlight World Alzheimer Day. Alzheimer is the most common form of dementia affecting people worldwide.
Hexoskin is working more and more on detecting cognitive conditions, as we can see in several studies (Sun et al., Webster et al., TELUQ, etc.). In fact, our system provides cardiac and respiratory functions simultaneously, as well as activity with a 3-axis accelerometer. For example, we are working with the Montreal TELUQ team that has developed an application for fall detection with Hexoskin. The advantage is being able to get the vital functions to determine the condition of the patient following a fall. For more details, visit our research section.

Help us to raise awareness and challenge the stigma that surrounds dementia.

Officers and First Responders Monitor Stress for Health Prevention
Everyday, first responders put their own lives at risk to help individuals, families, and communities. They experience frontline tragical issues, such as accidents, deaths, murders, etc. In Canada, according to the Tema Conter Memorial Trust, ‘’PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a very real phenomenon facing over 20% of all First Responders’’ (CASP, 2016).
Health data are useful to get insights about the individual’s vitals. Hexoskin provides the physiological data, which gives an easy access to the vital signs information in order to determine the appropriate prevention solutions. Hexoskin can measure and report in real-time, high-level actionable data such as readiness information; remote dashboard for command center; focus and cognitive assessment; stress and fatigue monitoring; mood status monitoring; energy expenditure and metabolism monitoring.

17.7 million people died from cardiovascular diseases in 2015, representing 31% of all global deaths (World Health Organisation). In most cases, cardiovascular diseases can be prevented.
People with cardiovascular disease with a high cardiovascular risk (due to the presence of one or more risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia or already established disease) need early detection and management using counseling and medicines, as appropriate.
Hexoskin is an efficient and accurate solution to collect quantitative data about patients, every day, in real-life situations, over a long period. Researchers in many countries are performing cardiology studies with Hexoskin.
Here are a few publications about research projects that used Hexoskin to monitor cardiac and pulmonary activities from participants:

Hexoskin presents a new clinical validation paper at the APSS Sleep 2017 Meeting in Boston
‘’Sleep Well, Live Better’’ –Hexoskin. Although sleeping represents a third of our lives, it's still mysterious for most people. Dr. Roger Godbout, professor and researcher at the Sleep Laboratory & Clinic at Hospital Rivières-des-Prairies (Montreal), will be presenting the new validation study ''Development and validation of an algorithm for the study of sleep using a smart shirt'' (Joelle P.M. et al., 2017) today at SLEEP 2017 at Hynes Convention Center in Boston. This clinical validation will allow Hexoskin clients to easily detect sleep stages with a good correlation with polysomnography (PSG), the clinical gold standard.
If you are in Boston, come and meet us to discuss our latest sleep research! It’s a great occasion to exchange on other topics related to sleep monitoring. Thanks to the Association Professional Sleep Society LLC (APSS) for this initiative!
