Already reaching 70 percent of a $100,000 funding goal on Indiegogo, the Hexoskin is a sensor-filled smart shirt that offers significantly more health data than a basic fitness tracker like a Fitbit Flex. For instance, the Hexoskin tracks heart rate, heart rate variability, heart rate recovery, breathing rate, breathing volume, step count, step cadence, calories burned and the intensity of activities. Ideal for anyone that likes a good sweat at the gym, the Hexoskin can provide an extremely detailed analysis of each workout. That information could be provided to a personal trainer, thus allowing them to maintain or increase intensity of workouts on each subsequent visit.
