BioAstra Technologies

Bioastra owes its name and inspiration to human space exploration. Wearable technologies such as phase-change materials, anti-G suits and biosensors, historically conceived for astronauts, have been adopted and refined for a range of human health and safety applications. Bioastra Technologies Inc. is a dynamic R&D company dedicated to creating the next generation of smart textile and wearable devices for humans to survive and thrive in difficult, sometimes hostile, circumstances.
Whether developing Cooling Vests to combat heat stress, Compressive Garments for children suffering from cerebral palsy or lymphodaema, Prosthetic Liners for amputees, Wearable Foetal Monitors for expecting mothers, or Protective Suits for soldiers on the battlefield, our multidisciplinary team of chemists, clinicians and biomechanical engineers approach every design challenge from a user-centred perspective while drawing on the state-of-the art in smart materials, micro- and nanotechnologies.
