Astroskin featured in Limitless With Chris Hemsworth on Disney+
What if you could combat aging and discover the full potential of the human body? Global movie star Chris Hemsworth (“Extraction,” “Thor,” “The Avengers”) explores this revolutionary idea in the new National Geographic original series “Limitless with Chris Hemsworth” created by Darren Aronofsky and hailing from his production company Protozoa and Jane Root’s Nutopia.
New scientific research is shattering conventional wisdom about the human body and offers fascinating insights into how we can all unlock our body’s superpowers to fight illness, perform better and even reverse the aging process. This science is put to the test by Hemsworth, who, despite being in peak superhero condition, is on a personal mission to learn how to extend our health, strength and intellect further into our later years.
Undergoing a series of epic trials and extraordinary challenges in order to understand the limits of the human body, he’ll learn firsthand how we can live better for longer by discovering ways to regenerate damage, maximize strength, build resilience, supercharge memory, and confront mortality.
The Astroskin Vital Signs Monitoring Platform, an advanced wearable health monitoring system, is used in the first episode of the series titled Stress-Proof now streaming on Disney +.
Ever since his teenage years, stress has been part of Chris’ life, and he wants to learn how to deal with it better. In this episode of the series, Chris Hemsworth will learn powerful physical and psychological techniques that can be used to control the stress in our lives and combat the risk it poses to long-term health.
The actor takes on the challenge to stay calm during a terrifying walk along a crane that’s projecting out from the roof of a skyscraper. We follow him practicing his walk in VR. Chris is supported during his training by Dr. Modupe Akinola who interprets the actor's physiological response measured with the Astroskin.
During the episode, we also follow Chris Hemsworth wearing the Astroskin during the chilling walk on the crane at the top of a 900-foot-tall skyscraper.
Limitless with Chris Hemsworth is streaming on Disney+.
Hexoskin to Support Medical Research and Covid-19 Response
Hexoskin has been working with governements and health systems in the US and Canada to define actions to support healthcare services during the COVID-19 response.
We are currently putting in place patient monitoring programs in hospitals and at home for COVID-19 patients. These projects are important to support telehealth services, but also to gather data for medical research and manage the public response to the virus. We are now working on onboarding our first COVID-19 patients.
The data collected will also be used to develop AI/machine learning software to better assess the risk of COVID-19 patients recovering at home. Hexoskin biometric shirts can continuously measure respiration effort in addition to cardiac activity, which provides unique data to understand the evolution of the disease and its effects on lung function.
We are also working with health systems on rapidly setting up programs to ensure the continuity of care for patients currently enrolled in cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs with online tools.
We understand that hospitals are currently focused 100% on hospitalized patients, that's why Hexoskin is setting up telehealth teams of its own and offering these resources to support these programs and complement health systems' resources.
If you are looking for help for telehealth programs or COVID-19 home monitoring programs please contact us today: contact@hexoskin.com / 1-888-887-2044
Hexoskin at Biosensors for Medical Wearables in Boston: Overcoming Challenges in Long-Term Medical Monitoring
Hexoskin's co-founder and CEO Pierre-Alexandre Fournier has been invited to talk about long-term vital signs monitoring at the Biosensors for Medical Wearables Conference in Boston on October 25th.
Vital signs sensors traditionally used for cardiac and respiratory monitoring involve adhesives or tape to keep the sensors in place on the skin. Experience has shown there's a tradeoff between monitoring duration (1 to 14 days), and adhesive agressiveness, which can lead to skin rashes or wounds.
There's now a safer and more convenient way for patients to record long-term vital signs data needed for diagnosis or to guide care or rehabilitation: smart textiles. Hexoskin users have successfully demonstrated the advantages of using a form factor that patients like. Researchers have documented it in over 200 scientific papers.
In his talk, Fournier will describe medical applications of smart textile sensors for patients with cardiac and respiratory diseases, as well as opportunities in research in mental health and rare diseases. He will also share unique insights into Hexoskin's experience in space medicine research aboard the International Space Station.

Hexoskin at the 24th SoCalBio Annual Conference in Long Beach: Enabling a Distributed Healthcare Regime
Hexoskin's co-founder and CEO Pierre-Alexandre Fournier has been invited to talk about the adoption drivers for distributed healthcare at the SoCalBio 24th annual conference in Long Beach October 6-7.
We now have the technology to deploy connected health solutions to improve healthcare access at home and close to home. What is slowing down adoption? We still need better financial incentives, provider education, a regulatory environment for connected health and home care adapted to this new care setting, and leadership from providers and payors, among other things.
The panel "Enabling a Distributed Healthcare Regime:" Precision Medicine in Homecare Through Remote, Medical Grade Monitoring with Wearables and Other Smart Devices will be moderated by William Dolphin, PhD.
Moderator:
- William Dolphin, PhD, President, William Dolphin Consulting

Hexoskin CEO Invited to Speak at the HITLAB Digital Health Symposium
Pierre-Alexandre Fournier, Hexoskin CEO & Cofounder, will speak at the HITLAB Digital Health Symposium on August 25, 2022. M. Fournier will present an overview of the work conducted by the Hexoskin Community on digital health research and projects with the Hexoskin & Astroskin platforms.
The theme is "Bridging the Information/Data Gap". Health is complex and information to evaluate patients is often not available when they are not in a clinical setting. We've made our mission at Hexoskin to allow researchers and professionals to collect health data in places they couldn't before, from homes and workplaces to the International Space Station!
The Hexoskin community has published over 160 papers so far, on subjects that include cardiac and respiratory health, aging, rare diseases, psychiatry, and healthcare workers health and safety. We collect most of them on this page
Hexoskin Receives 2022 International Space Station Research Innovation Award for Human Health in Space from American Astronautical Society
Washington, D.C. - July 28th, 2022
The American Astronautical Society has awarded today the 2022 International Space Station Research Innovation Award for Human Health in Space to Hexoskin (Carré Technologies Inc.) for demonstrating a comprehensive physiology monitoring system for use in research and in situ crew care.
The Astroskin Bio-Monitor System was launched with SpaceX mission CRS-16 in December 2018 and was commissioned by Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques in January 2019.
