Digital Massage Ensembles

The eSSage Suit Allows You to be Massaged by Anyone, Anywhere

— July 18, 2012 — Tech
The eSSage suit designed by André Cofield is a futuristic people-pleaser that allows you to be massaged anywhere and by anyone. The massage suit uses WIFI to connect to a smartphone app, which then allows a massage therapist, partner or friend to digitally control the suit.

Its sleek design looks like Batman’s suit without all the extra gear. Made to fit both men and women, with blue or pink highlights, this suit really pushes fashion and functionality boundaries. On its product design webpage, it says, “ Using our patent pending EAP massage pads the eSSage is able to deliver a precise and accurate massage as if their hands were right there on your skin.”

The fabric allows for easy cleaning and no real machine-washing necessary. The suit is currently just a prototype but would allow for people to receive a massage while residing in their homes or to feel the touch from someone they might be missing.
Trend Themes
1. Digital Massage Therapy - The eSSage suit showcases how technology can be used in massage therapy, suggesting opportunities for developing digital massage solutions.
2. Remote-controlled Wearable Technology - The eSSage suit demonstrates the potential of wearable technology that can be remotely controlled, presenting opportunities for developing other wearable tech that can be controlled from anywhere.
3. Functional Fashion - The eSSage suit challenges traditional notions of fashion by combining fashion with function, indicating the potential for creating fashionable products that serve a practical purpose.
Industry Implications
1. Health and Wellness - The eSSage suit could disrupt the health and wellness industry by offering an alternative to traditional massage services through wearable technology.
2. Technology - The emergence of the eSSage suit highlights the potential for more innovative and disruptive technologies in the wearables space.
3. Fashion - The eSSage suit bridges the gap between fashion and function, indicating the potential for fashion to be incorporated in a wider range of functional products.
