# 2022 ThermoWear |
|
Traditional orthoses require regular doctors’ reviews and adjustments and can be uncomfortable for the wearer.
ThermoWear integrates electronics and meta-material structures with biocompatible thermoplastic materials to create customized, body-fitting smart orthoses. Embedded sensors empower them with various functions, such as assisting diagnosis, condition monitoring, and game-based rehabilitation training. Eliminating the need to remove components during adjustment by integrating adaptive materials, ThermoWear provides a truly accessible and flexible solution.
