Monitoring Sleep with Hexoskin
Hexoskin has been involved in clinical research and sleep analysis algorithm development since 2012. Researchers and professionals love how easy it is to access physiological data with Hexoskin. On this page, you'll learn about what we record and how we analyze and report sleep metrics.
Hexoskin offers the only clinically validated system that allows continuous precise ECG cardiac monitoring with lung function and activity monitoring with a smart garment. The Hexoskin Smart Garments provide a non-invasive and comfortable solution to study and track sleep at home. We offer a complete end-to-end solution for research and professional applications. You can use Hexoskin to monitor sleep in a natural environment at home or in clinical settings. You can monitor your health closely, share your data or manage groups of users efficiently with advanced functionalities. To learn more, request the Hexoskin White Paper on Sleep here.
Before you start planning your project, contact us to learn more about how Hexoskin team can support you for sleep monitoring. You can also take a look at our Quick Start page and our Support Community.
The Hexoskin Connected Health Platform offers solutions to synchronize the data recorded with the Hexoskin Smart Shirt to obtain complete sleep reports on the Hexoskin Application. You can also visualize, share and download your sleep assessment on the Hexoskin Online Dashboard. The same data will be available on the Hexoskin Mobile App.
Hexoskin Smart Shirts Specification for Sleep
Here is an example of a sleep reports that you can display on the Hexoskin Application or thru the Hexoskin Dashboard :
Wondering which positions you sleep in during the night? Hexoskin tells you precisely how long you slept in each position and how many times you changed positions during your sleep. Download the guide in English - en Français.
Contact us if you have any questions or need advises on how to leverage the Hexoskin Connected Health Platform for your research or project on Sleep.
Our team will be happy to support you and contribute to your objectives.
