SENSOREEs therapeutic biomedia is bioresponsive design for extimacy – externalized intimacy.  SENSOREEs wearables monitor physiological states and translate feelings into auditory, visual, and or tactile displays. The tangible interface offers biofeedback as well as expression to promote awareness and empathy. SENSOREE gives the body a voice, with fundamental emotive language.

SENSOREE began as Future Speculation for Healthcare from Master Thesis design research to augment Sensory Processing Disorder, a condition which ranges from ADHD to autism. The system is a feedback loop for behavior change and is applicable to many caregiver patient relationships. With global enthusiasm, we have presented works at technology and healthcare conferences, in fashion shows, museums, and future visionary platforms.  Thank you!

The body reveals what words cannot. ~ Martha Graham

All ideas, all mental images, all emotions reveal themselves physically. ~ Augusto Boal

He who looks outside dreams. He who looks within awakens. ~ Jung

Intimacy is the capacity to be rather weird with someone – and the knowledge that’s OK with them. ~ Alain de Botton
