Athos (Redwood City, CA), a company started by two students from the University of Waterloo, Canada, has developed workout attire with embedded sensors that track muscle function and activity. The Athos garment consists of a long sleeve shirt and stretchy pants embedded with EMG sensors that monitor muscle exertion, heart beat, and breath. The embedded sensors are capable of obtaining information from 22 muscle groups in the body and the information recorded is relayed to a wearable unit called the Core that processes muscle activity data along with heart rate data and sends it over to a smartphone app for final analysis.
