Designing Smart Fashion for Elderly with Lasalle

As part of a collaboration between Chemistry and Lasalle College of the Arts, JL and Fariz guided Lasalle’s Fashion Media students through the design thinking process, to explore challenges faced by the elderly, and leverage on smart fashion to come up with potential solutions.

This initiative is part of a collaboration between Chemistry Team and Lasalle College of the Arts. Chemistry Team guided Lasalle’s Fashion Media students through the design thinking process. This was to explore the challenges faced by the elderly and leverage on smart fashion to develop potential solutions. Some ideas from the workshop included designing a smart cane for the elderly to guide their physical exercise regime. and an interactive prosthetic leg.

We certainly hope that this imbues the importance of inclusive design in the students, as they move on to make their mark in the design field.
