Swim suit for people with chronic diseases
For people living with chronic diseases causing spontaneous fainting,
like epilepsy, heart diseases or diabetes mellitus, drowning is the leading
cause of death*.
This project aims to create a participatory design for
swimwear that triggers a rescue system in the event of a medical emergency
to prevent the person from drowning. In addition, outsiders should be alerted
via a smartwatch application and guided through the rescue procedure.
