Designed by Pauline van Dongen in cooperation with TU Eindhoven & Textiel Museum, Vigour is a beautifully knitted cardigan with knit stretch sensors that continually monitors the wearer’s movement.
The data connects to a mobile app that can be used by patients, therapists and caretakers to monitor and watch the rehabilitation process.
Little detail is currently available on the app and explicitly how the garment can be used in rehabilitation, but the soft, knit design of the garment hints to the next phase of wearables: the movement away from devices to actual wearable garments.
