Using the design criteria established during the workshop, the study designed and developed a physical therapy device using eTextile techniques and wearable technologies. The roles that social acceptability, wearability, and fashion play are central factors to product adoption of wearable products. The objective was to develop a platform for which others can develop their own system.
Lastly, this study evaluated the wearability and social acceptability of the final product. The goal of this phase was to assess the design criteria developed throughout the study and establish the validity of the design platform.
