In this episode of The WTiN Podcast, we talk to Kristin Neidlinger, founder of Sensoree.
The inspiration for the company came about a few years ago from Neidlinger’s master’s thesis research to augment sensory processing disorder – a condition which ranges from ADHD to autism. Now, the company designs wearables to monitor physiological states and translate feelings into auditory, visual, and/or tactile displays. Thanks to enthusiasm across the world, Sensoree has since attended technology and healthcare conferences and fashion shows and works with museums and future visionary platforms.
Sensoree's Mood Sweater
In this podcast, Neidlinger talks more about her background and how she got into this specific area of research. She also talks about some of her products, the most popular of which is called the Mood Sweater. This garment interprets emotion and displays excitement levels instantly with an illuminated collar. Not only does the product acknowledge emotion, but it can also help the user to control it by calming the nervous system. Elsewhere, Neidlinger talks about smart textile rental models, Covid-19, and another of her projects that helps to give non-verbal people a voice through wearables.
