Dutch graduate student Klaassen has created a garment that tracks real-world metrics such as strength, gait and flexibility in recovering stroke patients. The project was part of Europe’s FP7 research initiative and resulted in a garment that is fitted with more than 40 sensors. The data is collected wirelessly, processed and relevant information passed on to medics. Klaassen said if the prototype is successful it could have applications beyond stroke patients.
