WEAR_Logo_LANDSCAPE_Transparent-1We are excited to announce our design, FleXo – Flexible exoskeleton for therapeutic use – has been awarded Wear Sustain Funding in Round 2.

FleXo is a bioresponsive garment with inflatable silicone fabric that communicates healing touch with extimacy – visual and haptic feedback.

When introducing robot or automated interactions in healthcare, the missing component is human touch. Healing touch is a connection that communicates emotion and energy. FleXo is a wearable soft exoskeleton to facilitate this healing therapeutic touch between a caregiver and patient. IMG_2695
