Intersection Huge potential for advances in wearables to provide assistance in unrealized ways Mollii “Mollii is a new type of assistive device which relaxes spastic, tense and aching muscles safely and simply, thus helping a lot of people with spasticity and motor impairment. Mollii is used by people with cerebral palsy, stroke, spinal cord injury and acquired brain damage as well as other diagnoses that lead to motor disabilities.” http://inerventions.se/en/product/ @halleyprofita #WearIt
