By hiding haptic sensors in everyday clothing, Myant hopes to provide continuous biometric data to its users and their loved ones.
Company founder Tony Chahine tells me: "Textile covering the entire body continuously transmitting data is the best option, especially for someone who is marginalized, who cannot see, who is not a tech expert."
The tech is currently able to collect a broad range of data like the user's heart rate, sleep quality, physical activity and body temperature. Chahine says he hopes that providing holistic, physiological data can help users more intimately monitor their health as well as detect and reduce the severity of chronic conditions.
