“I have designed a garment that monitors your level of stress by a skin response sensor, sewn in around the wrists. The sensor is linked to a microcontroller and has a feedback mechanism in it that will play a series of tones at times of high stress through headphones built into the garment. My intention is to address the fact that we do not always listen to our bodies and because of this we cannot possibly operate at our highest potential. My goal is to use technology to shrink the distance between the body and the garment and between the body and its environment, internal and external.” Veronika Olsen
