For Apparel Brands

The Biosensing Engine Inside Your Brand

Astherion is a modular biosensor platform designed to integrate into premium performance apparel. Your brand, your garments, our intelligence layer.

Think “Intel Inside” for smart apparel — proven technology your customers trust, seamlessly embedded in the products they already love.

Your Customers Expect Intelligence

The wearable technology market is converging with apparel. Brands that don't adapt risk losing their most engaged customers to tech companies.

1

Partner with Tech Giants

Bundle your garments with Apple Watches or Garmin devices. Lose brand control. Fragmented customer experience.

Risk: Brand dilution

2

Build In-House

$20M+ R&D investment, 5+ year timeline, high failure rate. Requires expertise your team doesn't have.

Risk: Capital and time

3

License Proven Technology

Astherion's biosensor platform integrates into your existing apparel line. Your brand stays front and center.

Production-ready. De-risked.

Every major apparel brand that tried to build smart clothing in-house failed. We solved the technical problems that killed them.

The Technology

A Modular Biosensing Platform

Designed from day one to be licensed and integrated — not a consumer product adapted for B2B.

7-Modality Distributed Biosensing

20+ sensor nodes distributed across the garment, anchored by an 11-point thermal array for non-invasive core body temperature estimation.

  • Thermal mapping & core temperature
  • Heart rate & SpO2
  • Motion, posture & respiratory tracking
  • Galvanic skin response
  • Environmental & barometric sensing

Multi-Modal Sensor Fusion

Seven sensor modalities fused into derived health metrics that no single-point wearable can compute.

  • Altitude sickness prediction
  • Heat stroke early warning
  • Dehydration detection
  • Inflammatory response via thermal asymmetry
  • Predictive fatigue tracking

Three-Layer Garment System

Core, mid, and shell layers designed to work independently or as a synced system. Partners can license one layer or the full stack.

  • Core: Full biometric sensing
  • Mid: Extended thermal + load analysis
  • Shell: Environmental monitoring
  • Layers collaborate when worn together

Clinical-Grade Validation

Built by a biomedical engineer with UT Southwestern Medical Center clinical research background. Medical-device rigor applied to consumer-grade garments.

  • Phase III–IV cardiovascular trial experience
  • Expedition-grade durability testing
  • Validated processing pipelines

This is a working platform streaming live biometric data today — not a research concept or prototype roadmap.

How Integration Works
