Published purpose
Physical stimulus is recognized in being able to retain the overall strength and independence of seniors. Its benefit on the nervous system and blood circulation is fundamentally important in helping seniors to battle ageing in a daily basis and prolong their healthy and independent life. This project is to develop smart textile technology that will integrate actuators and sensors into textile wearable products to provide daily and on-demand physical stimulus to the aged wearers at home. It aims to create an innovative living environment for seniors and help them to safely live at home
