Myant Smart Textiles Hope to Offer Broad Biometric Monitoring

By Sports Technology Wire on June 17, 2019

When the father of technology entrepreneur Tony Chahine developed dementia, Chahine pondered a question: How do we communicate with people who cannot?

That experience in 2010 led Chahine to found Myant, a textile computing platform that utilizes sensors knitted and woven into clothing. The first consumer product, SKIIN, is an underwear line expected to be available later in 2019 whose four embedded sensors can collectively track a wearer’s heart rate, breathing rate, temperature, movement, posture, and sleep. Myant is endeavoring to help someone with dementia have his or her needs met through the passive recording of biometrics by the garments he or she wears.

“Our raison d’être is that, at some point, we realized that the human was sort of being left behind by technology—that there was no ambient or direct contact, connecting the human to each other or to the environment or the world around us or technology or AI, etc.,” said Myant EVP Ilaria Varoli.
