What Myant does

Myant is a Canadian deep technology company founded in 2010 and headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, that has built a proprietary platform called Textile Computing™, which transforms everyday fabrics into intelligent interfaces embedded with multi-modal biometric sensors. These sensors capture continuous ECG, heart rate, temperature, SpO2, blood pressure, glucose, and motion data, and feed AI-driven analytics that construct digital human replicas (digital twins) for personalized health insights. The company's flagship commercial product is the SKIIN (Skiin) platform, a clinically validated continuous remote health monitoring system that targets both individual health-conscious consumers and enterprise healthcare customers. Myant operates from a 178,000 sq. ft. advanced manufacturing facility backed by $100M+ in cumulative R&D investment, employs over 200 scientists, engineers, and researchers, and holds over 1,000 global patents spanning North America, Europe, and the Middle East. CEO and founder Tony Chahine leads the company alongside executive vice president Ilaria Varoli.
