Reebrace
In collaboration with Singapore-MIT (SMART)
Product concept design
B R I E F
We were tasked with developing a conceptual product that incorporates SMART's latest Micro Flow Sensor over a period of 11 weeks. SMART's sensor is capable of accurately detecting and reading minute changes in air and water flow.
R E S E A R C H
Looking at current items in the healthcare market, we found a trend where products for recovery places much emphasis on prevention as key, causing the restriction of movement and freedom.
C O N C E P T
Wanting to fulfil a gap between user's recovery experience and overly restrictive recovery products, we developed Reebrace, tagged with the sports brand Reebok for a more grounded concept.
How might the period of recovery re-enable patients to feel a sense of control?

Reebrace incorporates SMART's flow sensor within a knee brace allowing users to track if excessive movement is made with their injured area.
U N O B T R U S I V E S U P P O R T
Through the integration of SMART's micro flow sensors with Reebok's Pump technology, the tiny flow sensors are embedded within an air cell cage which is encased within the knee brace.
Users are able to inflate and adjust the support as required during workouts.
A H E L P I N G H A N D
With a built-in light notification that reacts to an increase in intake of airflow (as intensity of workouts increases), users are prompted to pump in more air, thus giving a stronger support.
With Reebrace, take charge of your recovery progress.
