Introducing SKIIN™
Myant’s Textile Computing™ brings clinical-grade physiological monitoring into the animal’s normal routine, beginning with SKIIN™ Equine for clinician-led 3-lead ECG studies at rest and during exercise.

Textile Computing™
Myant knits sensors directly into fabric so there are no wires, adhesives, or bulky boxes to work around. Comfortable smart textiles give a cleaner signal and a truer baseline because the animal keeps its normal routine while physiological data is collected for veterinary review.
Proven in medicine
Built on the same technology that powers our medical devices
The technology inside our animal products was originally developed and licensed for human cardiac monitoring in Canada. We’ve brought that same medical-grade accuracy, reliability, and precision to veterinary health.
The human SKIIN™ system is a licensed Class II medical device, with an FDA 510(k) submission underway in the United States.
Ordered for patients across Canada, with thousands of Holter studies completed and reviewed in clinical practice.
Myant Animal Health takes the technology inside the licensed human system and redesigns smart textiles for veterinary species.
3-lead ECG monitoring for horses at rest and in motion
Traditional equine ECG studies can involve adhesive electrodes, wires, straps, and specialized setup. SKIIN™ Equine integrates 3-lead ECG capture into a textile band designed for clinician-led studies at rest and during ridden or unridden exercise.
System capabilities
The band, electronic pod, app, and veterinary portal are engineered as one workflow, so a study starts at the barn and ends as data your vet can act on.
The app supports study setup, placement checks, and signal quality review before recording begins.
A compact electronic pod records study data on the horse, allowing the study to continue even when cellular connectivity is limited.
Three channels of ECG are recorded through the band’s fabric electrodes, the foundation the rest of the system builds on.
Data stores locally and uploads when Bluetooth, internet, or wired transfer is available.
Flagged arrhythmias and key ECG and HRV metrics are automatically available in the portal for easy review and reporting.
The band is machine washable, so one kit can move from patient to patient in a clinical practice or boarding facility.
Compared with traditional ECG
SKIIN™ Equine has been measured against gold-standard reference methods, up to high-speed exercise. What changes is the workflow around the recording, starting with automated arrhythmia detection.
Traditional ECG
Traditional ECG
Recordings typically need manual review.
SKIIN™ Equine
AI-powered analysis flags arrhythmias and key HRV metrics automatically, moving each study from raw data to a report in minutes.
Traditional ECG
Collecting cardiac data has often meant taking a horse out of its routine.
SKIIN™ Equine
Studies run in the clinic, barn, track or arena.
Traditional ECG
Review can mean trailering the horse or hauling equipment.
SKIIN™ Equine
The pod stores the study and uploads it by Bluetooth, internet, or wired transfer. Your vet opens the full study from anywhere.
Traditional ECG
Adhesive electrodes are single-use.
SKIIN™ Equine
The band is machine washable, so one kit can move from patient to patient.
Traditional workflows vary by clinic and equipment. Specific analysis features may vary by release and clinical workflow.
For every part of the care team
One study serves three different needs: day-to-day observation by the owner, clinical review by the veterinarian, and structured cardiac data for researchers working on equine health.

How it works
Fit the textile band, start the recording, and let the study run through rest, recovery, or exercise. When it ends, the data is transferred for veterinary review.
Drape the band at the heart-girth, ensuring the widest section rests along the spine and the closure fastens on the horse’s left side.
Fasten both ends evenly until snug but comfortable. Ensure the textile is flat, untwisted, and every electrode makes direct contact with the skin. Recheck the fit after a few minutes as the horse relaxes.
Apply conductive electrode gel directly to each of the five textile electrodes to ensure optimal signal and data quality.
For ridden exercise or extended monitoring, secure the provided elastic over-band. Once the band is secured, continue with the planned ridden or unridden activity.
Download the SKIIN Equine app and create your account to manage horses, pods, and studies.
Create the owner and horse profile so each recording is linked to the correct patient.
Remove the pod from its charging dock, select its serial number in the app, and pair it over Bluetooth.
Choose a study duration from 30 minutes to 48 hours, then confirm that all three ECG channels show good signal before recording begins.
Add time-stamped notes during the study to mark relevant events such as feeding, exercise, or anything your veterinarian may want to review.
End the recording and sync the pod. The study is processed and organized in the clinical portal for veterinary review.
Your veterinarian can open the study remotely and review the ECG, study notes, and available metrics.
AI-powered analysis flags arrhythmias and key ECG and HRV metrics automatically, moving each study from raw data to a report in minutes, ready for your vet to review.
When needed, the study can be shared with authorized members of the care team.
Repeat studies are added to the horse’s history, making previous recordings available for follow-up and longitudinal review.
