Wrist Devices Can't See Your Body
You don't climb Denali wearing an Apple Watch. But you need the data.
Wrist-based wearables measure ONE local point. They miss full-torso thermal patterns that predict inflammation, multi-point posture data for injury prevention, core body temperature regulation under load.
Astherion embeds 16 clinical-grade sensors INTO expedition apparel.
Distributed intelligence. Invisible technology. Garments you already trust your life with.
Wrist-Based Wearables
Single-point measurement. Peripheral circulation. Fragile during expeditions.
Astherion Platform
16 distributed sensors. Full-torso intelligence. Expedition-grade durability.
One System. Your Entire Wardrobe.
You don't rebuild your wardrobe. You evolve it.

The Intelligence
When you layer Astherion garments, they don't just stack—they collaborate.
Core layer alone
Core biometrics
Core + Mid
Comparative thermal analysis, load distribution
Core + Mid + Shell
Full environmental context, hypothermia prediction
The processing unit magnetically attaches to your outermost layer. Remove the shell for washing—core and mid layers continue working independently.
Where Astherion Stands
The Outdoor Intelligence Category
Premium Outdoor Apparel
Arc'teryx • Patagonia • Moncler
$15B+ market
Beautiful garments, zero intelligence
Wearable Technology
Apple Watch • WHOOP • Garmin
$60B+ market

Sensor integration, not expedition-grade
The only platform combining all three
Clinical-grade biosensing • Expedition-ready materials • Premium aesthetic • Modular ecosystem
Other brands choose: Function OR Fashion. Athletic OR Elegant. Tech-forward OR Timeless.
Astherion delivers all three.
What We've Built
Functional prototype—manufacturing optimization in progress
16-Sensor Integration ✓
- • Distributed temperature arrays (11 points)
- • Heart rate variability + SpO2
- • Three IMUs (posture, movement, breathing)
- • GSR stress response sensors
- • Environmental monitoring
"Multi-modal sensor fusion for predictive fatigue detection. Distributed temperature + posture + HRV patterns predict muscle fatigue and injury risk before performance degradation."
Edge Processing Unit ✓
Current: ESP32-C6 prototype
Production: Nordic Semiconductor (nRF series)
- • 77+ hour battery life (target: 5-7 days)
- • Magnetic modular docking
- • Manages up to 3 layers simultaneously
- • BLE 5.0 mesh networking
"One intelligence unit powers your entire wardrobe. Can be used independently on a wristband, but the full ecosystem is with the garment sensors."
Mobile Companion ✓
- • React Native (iOS + Android)
- • Real-time biometric streaming
- • 11-point thermal mapping visualization
- • Predictive health alerts
- • Cross-device cloud sync
- • TestFlight ready Q1 2025
"Your physiology interpreted continuously through quiet, adaptive intelligence."
Clinical Validation ✓
Built by biomedical engineer with UT Southwestern Medical Center background:
- • Swan-Ganz hemodynamic monitoring background
- • 10 months neurovascular & cardiovascular research
- • Automated MATLAB clinical data pipelines
- • Phase 3 clinical trial experience
"Medical research validation protocols applied to outdoor performance gear."
This isn't a concept. This is a working system streaming live biometric data RIGHT NOW. Manufacturing optimization and production scaling are the next milestones, not technical feasibility.
Know Your Limits Before You Hit Them
Injury Prevention
Posture degradation + localized heat signatures = injury risk prediction. Astherion alerts you 30-60 minutes before muscle strain, not after.
Performance Optimization
HRV trends + thermal recovery patterns = training load optimization. Know when to push harder and when to rest.
Altitude Acclimatization
Core temp + oxygen saturation + HRV = altitude stress monitoring. Predict altitude sickness before symptoms appear.
Thermal Regulation
11-point temperature matrix = precise thermal mapping. Detect inflammation, cold exposure risk, optimal layering strategy in real-time.
Load Distribution
Dual IMU posture tracking = pack weight distribution analysis. Prevent back injury from asymmetric loading.
Recovery Intelligence
Multi-day HRV + temperature patterns = recovery state quantification. Know if you're ready for tomorrow's push.
This level of intelligence has never been available in clothing.
