Home Background Project Goals Proposed Solution Prototype #1 References

Strategic Focus

Our main priority is to create a discrete, wearable device for the active individual that can simultaneously aid in the treatment and rehabilitation of Achilles tendinopathy throughout the day without impeding a person’s daily activities. Our mission is for our device to minimize pain while walking, to expedite recovery throughout the entire day, and to be a reliable and durable product of high quality. Our sock should be made to be worn many times without compromising its functionality.

Needs Statement

To develop an affordable, comfortable, discreet, and durable daily use product that effectively treats the symptoms of Achilles tendinopathy and decreases a person’s reliance on the product over time.
