| DESIGN NAME: XBody Actiwear PRIMARY FUNCTION: Wireless EMS fitness device INSPIRATION: The ergonomic soft shape was inspired by pebbles, while the strong red colour was inspired by the strong visual identity of the client. The belt design was inspired by futuristic sportswear designs and fashion trends. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Actiwear, a product of global EMS fitness solution provider XBody, allows wireless EMS trainings in a 50m radius. This opens new perspectives in professional training and rehabilitation training: instead of stationary 'wired' training, it allows free movement in a radius of 50 meters. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: EMS is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electric impulses. The impulses are generated by a device and delivered through electrodes to the skin surface above the muscles to be stimulated. The impulses cause the muscles to contract, so the result is similar to the actual movement and regular contractions of the muscles. Actiwear is a wearable device: it slips into a pocket on a belt, which then can be worn on one's waist. It should be connected to the suit physically, using the magnetic connector. Impulses are created within the Actiwear device. The characteristics of the impulses can be customised through a user-friendly touch-screen interface. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in May 2015, and was exhibited during Budapest Design Week in October 2017 |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Enclosure is realised with plastic injection moulding technology. The connector uses magnets for easy-release connection. Belt is made of neoprene and flexible textiles. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: With 150mm x Depth 50 mm x Height 150 mm TAGS: ems fitness, ems training, wearable, iot, ems RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Maform design team conducted a thorough research about EMS fitness training technology and fitness activities. Field study and client interviews were conducted. Market research was done by closely inspecting previous models and competitor products. Ergonomics were tested continously throughout the design process. CHALLENGE: The greatest challange the designers faced during the project was to develop an ergonomic shape for the product and put it in a stable position as a quite large wearable device. The dimensions were optimized considering the internal electronic components, heating and rigidity.
