A revolutionary leader who inspires us all to find a solution which is not only profitable, but also something that will be beneficial for our planet in the coming future.
Getting to Know the Main Man Better
“An everyday interface watches like a guardian angel which constantly monitors your baseline and looks for any deviations which are then communicated to the Circle of Care.”
– Tony Chahine
Tony has embarked on a mission to enable a future where humans, animals and the planet can co-exist in harmony and strongly believes that we can still create a sustainable and connected future. He envisions a future where there will be a healthcare system which is proactive, and personalised where the voiceless communities of the society can also have an access to and benefit from the technologies which will create a better life for them.
Tony is an inspiring, globally sought-after public speaker and a great leader who has a huge array of knowledge in assorted topics like innovation, inclusion as well as shaping a fruitful future for the sake of humanity. Through sacrifice and hard work, Tony has grinded and persevered through it all to establish Myant from scratch. It is changing the way people connect with medical professionals through advanced and cutting edge medical science, textile computing as well as AI enabled Myant Platform alongside providing medical equipments which are vital for continuously monitoring heart rate as well as electrocardiogram.
About Myant and Team
Founded in the year 2010 by Tony Chahine, Myant is a company which has employeed over 80 people who are working day and night to create the world’s first computing platform which interfaces with humans through textiles. Myant has a vision to create a new gold standard for functional computing textiles. It has a 80,000 square foot facility in Toronto Canada is and is an end-to-end textile supply chain with an advanced state of the art knitting division, a printed electronic lab, as well as a traditional cut and sew operation.
“As one of the only operations of this scale in North America, Myant owns over 20 computerized seamless and warp knitting machines. Contained in a humidity and temperature controlled environment, these machines allow for an almost fully assembled garment with little requirements for manual finishing,” it says.
“The use of robotic knitting machines allows for development of smart textiles from a yarn level and enables the ability to integrate smart yarns through the knitting process in engineered structures for optimizing placement of passive and active technologies.”
Constructive Collaborations
“Within the industry, “many ideas that existed 10 years ago in my opinion could have continued if there was a process and standard framework for these inventors to make it happen.”

Myant and Stoll have joined hands as they have a shared vision of disrupting the textile industry with new technologies in Industry 4.0, material science and technical applications for unmatched and efficient products which are made in North America.
“Stoll’s machines combined with Myant’s end-to-end innovations, from molecule to garment, from textile to wardrobe will truly revolutionize the world of textiles and create a new economy. Stoll and Myant will use this exclusive collaboration for all inquiry of the research, development and engineering of this new domain of functional computing textiles,” read the statement.
“Our collaboration with Myant represents a completely new approach to smart textiles. The demand for smart fabrics has never been higher as companies race to create garments, wearables, industrial, defence, healthcare and household items to connect humans to the Internet of Things. Myant is leading the creation of a new economy in functional computing textiles with Stoll machines. They have the vision and the right interdisciplinary team to make this a global revolution,” Mr Schellhammer said.
“Myant and Stoll are taking a big step to democratize manufacturing and resuscitate a ‘making’ culture in Canada and the US.” Tony Chahine commented on their collaboration.
Future Plans
Myant has a goal to overcome all the challenges in textile innovation and production and increase collaboration between scientists, doctors, engineers, designers, students as well as other individuals from different fields with an innovative idea. Tony believes that only when something is built, only then that individual can be called a true innovator. Myant wants to expand in the Canadian and American university- affiliated textile technology centres. It has a mission to craft a digital human presence through a textile ambient interface in order to connect every human being to oneself, others, and AI.
