Hug, massage imitated by jacket

A HIGH-TECH company from Singapore has come out with the world's first jacket that imitates the feeling of being hugged and massaged.

The light and fashionable jacket has an integrated touch-technology system that produces deep pressure stimulation by inflating small air-bubbles.

"The jacket provides touch that varies in strength and in location, thus allowing the user to control how much pressure to apply where and for how long," says James Teh, founder of T-Ware, the company behind the T-Jacket.

A first of its kind, the T-jacket can be remote controlled by smartphone or tablet to adjust, monitor and analyse the pressure application. This function comes in handy especially when used as a therapeutic tool for children with developmental disorder.

Among autistic children deep pressure therapy is a sensory-based intervention used by therapists to calm them and help them to better organise their sensory inputs.

"Most of them suffer from sensory processing difficulties that make them hypo or hyper-sensitive to external stimuli like loud noises and unfamiliar faces and objects. T-Jacket is used to help children with autism because we've realised that a lot of autistic children crave deep pressure and benefit from deep pressure therapy," says Teh.

But T-Ware's hopes go further. They aim to soon introduce their jacket onto the market aimed not only at children with special needs, but everybody who yearns for a good bear hug.
