VITAL SPARK

VITAL SPARK:

Vital Spark is a wearable solution for the reduction of muscular contractions and inflammations after sports, that integrates energy harvesting technologies and 3D printing» to prototype a living system in which the kinetic energy activates tens patches embedded in the second skin.
This smart shirt is engineered to work in real time to instantly reduce tension of the upper and lower back after training.

HOW IT WORKS:

It works through a system that captures the kinetic energy of the body movements and transforms them into electrical energy that re feeds» in real time» the body itself» through feelings of well being.

This wearable solution gives all the control to the wearer. They are the ones who control it with their physicality.

TARGET CUSTOMER:

Vital Spark provides athletes electro stimulation massage to the muscular fascia of the back after the training». It benefits the transition from high activity to passivity. The body can have a gradual transition in contrast to sudden cool down thus avoiding traumas.

Research show the target customer are men between 25 to 39 years» belonging to the middle and upper middle class and belong to a social scheme DINKY double income» no kids focused on professional growth in body care and health.
It has university education and commonly works at an office» having a quasi sedentary work life.
Generation Y or millenial very commonly have a natural approach to electronic technologies and has a positive like to them.

BACKGROUND HISTORY:

Wearable dynamics mission is to morph technology into a personal connection. It investigates materials reactive to movement». For this project has partnered with energy harvesting company and expert 3D modeler.
