Statisticians, computer scientists, designers, and business experts together in the same room to create electronic textile prototypes of tomorrow’s smart fabric industry.
Using a portable biomedical device for signal acquisition and a small microcontroller with sensors and actuators, you will tackle a functioning prototype, a viability/business plan for a product, and the power of ergonomic and aesthetic concepts.
Work in a multidisciplinary team for 48 hours to build the best application of smart fabrics for the healthcare, sport or fashion industries, leveraging the knowledge, experience and tools provided by Accenture, in the Fusion Point space on the ESADE campus.
Who participated
The hackathon counted with the participation of students and alumni from Esade Business School, Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), IED Barcelona Design University, as well as students from other institutions and professionals.
