How and when did you get the idea for this startup?

I got the idea for this product in 2017, and pitched it to the UT Design Startup Challenge based on which the team got $10,000 in cash funding and $35,000 in student engineering services for developing the technology.

What were the main challenges that you faced? How did you address them?

We realized that in order to make mass producible smart clothing, we needed to develop low cost smart textiles to easily bridge the gap between established textile pipelines and the field of electronics. In partnership and mentorship with Dr. Deepti Gupta at IIT Delhi, we've developed a platform we are currently in the process of patenting.

What are your future plans?

We are currently developing our MVP and are looking to collaborate with physical therapists to evaluate our smart clothing and software.
