ScienceDaily (May 25, 2008) — Children with autism and ADHD may soon get anxiety relief from a novel “deep-pressure” vest developed by Brian Mullen at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The vest, which can also be used for adults with mental illness, delivers a “portable hug” called deep pressure touch stimulation (DPTS).
Initial results of a study with students at UMass Amherst who did not have autism or ADHD showed that participants preferred Mullen’s prototype vest, which applies pressure that feels like a firm hug or swaddling, over the current gold standard weighted vest.
I want one!
For the first time ever, Max has competition as my preferred fashion source. Imagine how happy you could be in a vest that hugs you, whenever you want, whereever you are, all day!
This could be just the start of something amazing... imagine a neck rub scarf! Or a hat that actually fixes your hair! Gym pants that massage your thighs to mobilise cellulite while you exercise!
What would be your future product suggestion for Professor Mullen?
