Myant Inc., a global pioneer in Textile Computing, has announced the establishment of a dedicated laboratory to drive the development of next generation connected performance solutions enabled via textiles that sense and react to the human body.

The mission of the Connect to Conquer Performance Lab will be to unleash the creativity of world class minds at the junction of applied sports science, electrophysiology, engineering, data science, behavioural science, and textiles. Myant says the nexus of these disciplines will bring forth a new degree of connectedness between athletes, their bodies, connected fitness equipment/devices and training / rehabilitation professionals, by taking the premise behind virtual workouts and going beyond by creating a fully bidirectional interface which empowers athletes to connect to training, recovery and previously unrealized levels of performance.

The Connect to Conquer Performance Lab will be located at Myant’s Toronto facility and will be staffed by a newly hired team of experts across disciplines to realize a bold vision of the future of connected performance.
