Hey, we all get older. Whenever you are young, you will become more energetic. One day, you will become a two-story building. You will be panting. You will walk over a kilometer and you will be physically overdrawn, even a grandfather and granddaughter in a wheelchair. The London Design Museum is hosting an exhibition called “New Old†featuring six designs for the elderly. Among them, there is an electronic muscle dress with an electronic muscle driver at the joints and muscles, which can empower the muscles, help the muscles with atrophy and inconvenient walking to resume the functions of daily walking and standing. Originally used by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to enhance military physiology, Superflex received $10 million in investment and plans to launch the apparel in the mid-2018s for the elderly and the disabled. Superflex comes from SRI International, a non-profit research company. The company is best known for Siri, yes, it's Siri on your phone. After a mature investigation into the electronic muscle technology, it was decided to set up a new company to develop robotic technology clothing. Superflex first prototype “From an investment point of view, I found that the cost of (robot technology) is declining and the functionality is enhanced. Our focus is on the availability, reliability, and maintainability of this technology.†Manish Kothari, SRI’s head said, “Now It's a good time to move from R&D to business model." With the growth of age, the elderly's physiological function declines and physical strength decreases. On the one hand, the elderly's knee joint is deformed and unstable, and the wet and slippery bathing area is easy to lead to slipping; On the other hand, for the elderly with heart disease or hypertension, changes in temperature will aggravate the burden on cardiovascular system, which is prone to dizziness and falls.

The elderly cannot take a bath by themselves, and should be assisted by their children or caregivers. It takes a lot of energy to help the old man take a bath. The old man may slip if he is not careful.
The bath Chair has many advantages. For caregivers, it can help the elderly take a bath with ease, without straining and worrying about whether the elderly will fall.
For the elderly who can take a bath independently, sitting on the bath chair, they can take a bath safely and easily, without being careful, just enjoy the comfort of taking a bath.
When we choose a bath chair for the elderly, we should consider the environment of the bathroom and the physical condition of the elderly. For example, the material of the bath chair should also be taken into consideration. The cushion made of EV material is more comfortable to sit on. Try to choose the one with a backrest, so that the elderly can use it more easily.
Electronic muscle clothes can help elderly people with limited mobility
