The Vein

    The concept behind our pnuematic wearable is space travel and how our bodies would have to change in order to accommodate to this new environment. A person going through space travel will experience a lower gravitational pull, which would cause muscle atrophy. With this pressurized pneumatic wearable, pressure will be applied in strategic locations of arteries and veins through a heart rate sensor. This will promote an adequate amount of blood pressure neccesary to sustain the harsh environment in space. Design wise the wearble will be a sleek body suit cover the left arm and chest, important location to control blood pressure.
