TORONTO – Smart textiles manufacturer Myant has partnered with Ontario-based cardiology clinic PACE to modernise patient care for those with chronic cardiovascular disease.
The solution – based on Myant’s Skiin platform – will require patients to wear underwear capable of capturing biometric data so that healthcare professionals can monitor these peoples’ condition remotely.
Tony Chahine, CEO and founder of Myant, commented “Patients are waiting for many months to see their cardiologists. This is especially important for the elderly, patients who are remote and isolated, and people who are mentally or physically ill. Our partnership with PACE gives me great hope it is finally possible to provide care for the most vulnerable people in our society.”
