Myant Accelerates Precision Healthcare With Acquisition Of Bitnobi Inc.

TORONTO — January 16, 2025 — Myant, a global supplier of advanced materials and connected health solutions, proudly announces the acquisition of Toronto-based technology innovator, Bitnobi Inc. Spun out of York University with the support of Toronto Innovation Acceleration Partners (TIAP), Bitnobi specializes in privacy-protected data-sharing software. Their groundbreaking platform facilitates secure collaboration between data owners and consumers without compromising raw data — a critical capability in today’s healthcare landscape.

This marks Myant’s fourth strategic acquisition in just six months, each one bolstering its platform with new technologies, capabilities, and markets. Together, these moves are driving Myant closer to its bold mission: empowering people to live younger for longer through proactive, personalized, and precision healthcare solutions.

The acquisition of Bitnobi fills a critical gap in the third pillar of Myant’s strategy: safe and secure data sharing. By integrating Bitnobi’s patented platform, Myant advances its ability to create a “digital human replica,” an innovative approach to personalizing healthcare through insights generated from its smart material solution

This acquisition strengthens our ability to provide precise and personalized support that goes beyond reactive healthcare.”

Expanding the Boundaries of Data Sharing and Collaboration

Through this acquisition, Myant enhances its capacity to share and utilize healthcare data responsibly and effectively. The company will not only be able to share its proprietary data with researchers and clinicians but also securely access third-party data while respecting governance protocols.

The partnership will also drive new data-sharing collaborations across Canada and internationally, unlocking valuable health insights and fostering innovation. “Bitnobi enables us to create seamless, secure pathways for data sharing that respect privacy while opening new doors for healthcare innovation,” Chahine added.

A Proven Platform for the Future of Precision Healthcare

Since its founding in 2016, Bitnobi has supported significant initiatives, including Canada’s Digital Health and Discovery Platform (DHDP). By enabling secure management of digital health data, Bitnobi is accelerating precision medicine for cancer and other diseases. Now, as part of Myant, Bitnobi’s expertise in big data, cloud computing, and cybersecurity will amplify innovation across Myant’s textile computing, smart materials, and data integration efforts.

Hassan Jaferi, CEO of Bitnobi, emphasized the alignment of the two companies’ missions: “Myant has created a global innovation hub in Toronto, where over 200 scientists, engineers, and researchers are driving breakthroughs in connected health. Joining forces will amplify our collective impact, ensuring that innovation in Canada’s technology and healthcare sectors continues to thrive.”

Shaping the Future of Healthcare

This acquisition underscores Myant’s commitment to proactive, precision healthcare. By integrating advanced materials, intelligent interfaces, and secure data sharing, Myant is not only redefining health and aging but also positioning itself as a global leader in innovation.

Together, Myant and Bitnobi are shaping a future where healthcare is proactive, personalized, precise and preventative—empowering individuals to live healthier, longer, and more independent lives.

The innovative insulation, featuring a unique Y-shaped fiber cross-sectional design, provides a bulky, loft, soft hand, more air retention for warmth, inherited moisture management and breathable performance from Naia fiber. The fibers efficiently absorb moisture without becoming saturated, ensuring lightweight comfort. This allows them to cope with all the temperature and humidity changes that occur during the night, adapting perfectly to the needs of the body and rest.

Naia Renew enhances comforters with breathable properties that improve airflow and moisture management, outperforming traditional mono-fiber fills in water-vapor resistance and transmission tests. The fibers also bring supreme softness, with a silky and lightweight feel that delivers an unmatched sense of luxury, gently draping around the body for ultimate coziness. Hypoallergenic and resistant to bacterial growth, Naia fibers reduce odors and stay fresh, ensuring comforters remain clean and inviting. Additionally, Naia Renew fibers are machine washable and resistant to insect pests, offering practical and durable solutions for busy modern lifestyles. These attributes position Naia Renew as a game-changer in home textiles design, providing “All-Night Comfort” for bedding and comforter fill that ensures longer-lasting relaxation.
