Hexoskin and Astroskin for the Workplace
See What Work Really Demands of People
Shifts, tools, heat, and repetitive tasks all show up in the body. Hexoskin and Astroskin record heart, breathing, and movement through the working day, so occupational and human-factors teams can see which tasks, layouts, and conditions demand the most.
Hexoskin is worn under regular workwear. Astroskin adds skin temperature, SpO₂, and three-lead ECG for heat and environment studies.
Breathing
Breathing rate and minute ventilation from two textile bands.
Movement
Activity, steps, cadence, and body position.
Study Team
Protocols, review, and exports for every participant in Hexoskin OneView.
Measure the Effort Behind the Output
Output and error rates show results; heart, breathing, and movement show the effort behind them, across work phases, pauses, and equipment changes. Compare workstation or interface designs, study driving and vigilance tasks, or follow people through hot and physically demanding environments, with the same garments, software, and data workflow for each study.
Explore Task Design, Transport, and Work Environments
Occupational and workforce studies fall into three groups: how a task or workstation is designed, how people perform in transport and vigilance tasks, and how the work environment itself loads the body. Start with the one closest to your study.
Human Factors & Task Design
Compare interfaces, workstations, and task designs by physiological response.

Explore Work EnvironmentsSolutions Tailored to Every Use Case
Choose Hexoskin for ECG, breathing, and movement across a workforce, or Astroskin when the study also needs skin temperature and SpO₂. Both share one software and data ecosystem.
Hexoskin
Smart clothing for cardiac, respiratory, and movement recording, in men’s, women’s, and junior garments. Choose Hexoskin when single-lead ECG, dual-band respiration, and activity cover the application.
Explore Hexoskin
Astroskin
A wearable system with three-lead ECG, dual-band respiration, PPG and oxygen saturation, skin temperature, and movement, for programs that need this wider combination of signals.

Eighteen professional caregivers performed patient transfers with a wheelchair and with a transfer-support robot while Hexoskin recorded ECG and respiration. Robot-assisted transfers were associated with lower post-task heart rate and perceived physical stress.
