Children with autism generally have abnormal tactile perception (oversensitivity or obtuseness) and difficulty regulating emotions.

What it does

Based on the principle that neuroscience confirms that deep pressure haptics can reduce anxiety, this design combines intelligent sensing technology to develop a lightweight adjustable vest,


Your inspiration

Design Philosophy: Take neuroplasticity as the warp and natural symbiosis as the weft At the intersection of rigid technology and flexible care, the "extracorporeal emotion regulation organ" of autistic children is constructed


How it works

Scenario: A child with autism is having an anxiety attack due to noise in a supermarket perceive The microphone detects ambient noise >85dB EDA sensor shows a steep rise in skin conductance (slope > 0.08 μS/s) decision-making AI judged to be "environmental overload anxiety" (92% confidence) Invoke the "Public Sedation" plan intervene Shoulder airbag pressurized to 60mmHg (simulated hugging feeling) Back Activating 80Hz Drizzle Vibration (Distracting) Neckline LED breathing light turns to navy (visual calming) Learn Recorded that this intervention reduced anxiety index by 73% within 5 minutes Strengthened the "noise-shoulder pressurization" association weight in the profile


Design process

Scientific Anchoring: Translating Temple Grandin's Extruder Theory into Wearable Technical Parameters Pain point cracking: 33 home visits recorded 487 pain points, driving 21 key improvements Limit test: -20°C to 50°C environmental test, 2000 times machine wash verification Ethics: All child testers were presented with a customized "Medal of Courage" to commemorate their participation


How it is different

Not just a pressure vest, but also a wearable engine for neural plasticity. Path to realisation: Thickness revolution: 12mm ultra-thin structure (competitors >20mm), simulating sports protective gear. Visual invisibility: Morandi color scheme (RGB 143,168,188) tested through eye movement (visual hotspot dispersion increased by 63%). Cultural integration: interchangeable decorative pieces (bamboo leaf veins/starry sky texture) achieve a mistaken identity rate of 98% on campus.


Future plans

Key Directions: Neural decoding deepens EEG fusion: integrated dry electrode EEG cap to predict emotional collapse 30 seconds in advance by theta wave anomaly (only 8 seconds in the current HRV model) Vagus nerve optimization: development of an abdominal vibration module to enhance the intervention performance through the gut-brain axis (animal experiments show intestinal transmitter release ↑40%) Sustainable innovation Self-healing material: platinum-catalyzed silicone self-repairing microcracks (healing rate >95%) Bio-battery: Glucose fuel cell (body fluid energy, 300% increase in battery life)
