Wearable technology is not just a trend anymore; it could also help with societal problems. The number of people aged 60 years or over is expected to more than double by 2050. Seismic is a lightweight, comfortable suit that works with the wearer’s muscles to boost their power. The “electric muscles,” which are integrated into the clothing and powered by tiny motors, mimic the contractions of the human muscle, the BBC reports. A computer and sensors tracking body movements are also integrated into the device, telling the muscles in the clothing when to activate and how to move. The result is a suit that could help anyone—especially the elderly—move more easily.
