Period

2015-2016

Canada

The Rio 2016 Summer Olympics were a watershed moment in the professional acceptance of biometric monitoring used as a training and development tool for athletes. This Hexoskin was used by Canadian Olympic gold medalist, Eica Wiebe, to train for the Rio 2016 Summer Olympic Games. The Hexoskin was used during training sessions to monitor and record Erica’s performance. This information was then used by the athlete and her coach to create the optimal training routine to improve athletic performance. (From Worksheet, see Ref. 1)

Function

Worn as a shirt to monitor and record the biometric activity of the user. This information can be downloaded to a computer and used to create optimal training routines through the analysis of recoded biometric data. (From Worksheet, see Ref. 1)

Technical

There are sensors sewn into the fabric of the Hexoskin which monitor blood pressure, skin temperature, activity level, blood oxygen levels, heart rate and electrical activity (electrocardiogram), and breathing rate and volume. The full body biometric monitor has applications beyond athletic training and is also being used as a medical monitoring device (noninvasive EKG monitoring) and real time monitoring of astronaut vitals during ground based training operations. (From Worksheet, see Ref. 1)
