What is the Hexoskin raw data sampling rate?

Hexoskin is offering more than 42,000 data points per minute, making it one of the most comprehensive wearable health monitoring systems available today. This impressive data collection capability is a result of its advanced sensor technology, which records a wide variety of physiological metrics essential for health assessment and monitoring.

The data is recorded at the following sampling rates:

  • Electrocardiogram (l-lead ECG): 256 Hz, which translates to 256 data points per second. This high-frequency sampling allows for precise monitoring of heart activity, providing valuable insights into heart rate variability and overall cardiovascular health.
  • Respiratory Inductance Plethysmography (RIP): Hexoskin captures data from two distinct breathing loops—thoracic and abdominal—each sampled at 128 Hz, equating to 128 data points per second for each loop. This dual measurement enables a comprehensive analysis of respiratory patterns, which is crucial for understanding lung function and overall respiratory health.
  • 3-Axis Accelerometer: The Smart device features a 3-axis accelerometer, with each axis sampled at 64 Hz (64 data points per second for each axis). This allows for detailed tracking of movement and activity levels, enabling users to gain insights into their physical activity, posture, and sleep patterns.

It is important to note that the sampling rates employed by Hexoskin adhere to medical standards, ensuring that the data collected is not only accurate but also reliable for both personal and clinical use. This commitment to quality makes Hexoskin an invaluable tool for health professionals and individuals alike who seek to monitor and improve their health and well-being.
