Second skin for all

2023-08-08

Imagine if here, in Canada, we could quickly manufacture a second skin that people could slip on for their health care workers to remotely monitor vital signs, measure physical activity—even gauge mood, anticipate illnesses, deliver therapies and target treatments—all while alleviating stress on the healthcare system? Imagine no more. The Skiin Connected Care System is a suite of garments equipped with seamlessly integrated sensors that gather body data and then visualize this information for wearers and their caregivers. The clothes are especially suitable for vulnerable populations that have trouble integrating wearable devices into their lives. Myant Inc. leveraged their existing technology in the fight against COVID-19 by producing and deploying their garments faster with advanced manufacturing in order to aid in the remote detection and triaging of COVID-19 symptoms for patients with remote access to care. Don't be surprised if one day soon we are all wearing this second skin.
