METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ADAPTIVE APPAREL DESIGN AND APPAREL INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE
Systems and methods for training a user to label and code digital files for three-dimensional garment design are provided. Systems and methods for collaborative refining of digital and/or physical garment prototypes are also provided.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF FITTING, EVALUATING, AND IMPROVING THERAPEUTIC COMPRESSION GARMENTS
The present invention relates to methods of fitting for pre-fabricated compression garments via digital imaging of a wearer body part and measurement of body part circumferences and, optionally, lengths therefrom. The present invention also relates to methods of generating a shape description derived from digital imaging of a patient body part or body area of interest and use of such shape description. Such shape description includes geometric information from which measurement information can optionally be derived. Included herein are methods for diagnosing and monitoring edema and other conditions in patients using shape descriptions acquired from a patient in need of such diagnosis and monitoring. The invention also includes use of the generated shape descriptions to make compression garments specifically configured for a patient's body part or body area. Compression garments generated from the generated shape descriptions are also included herein.

Generating personalized exosuit designs
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating personalized exosuits. In some implementations, sensor data indicating a three-dimensional shape of stretchable template garment while the template garment is worn by a person and has been stretched to align with the person's anatomy is obtained. The template garment can include indicators corresponding to positions for components of an exosuit, and can correspond to an exosuit design. The sensor data is analyzed to determine locations of the indicators of the template garment. A personalized exosuit design is generated for the person by adjusting a computer model for the exosuit design to locate components of the exosuit at regions corresponding to the identified locations of the indicators of the template garment. The personalized exosuit design is provided to one or more manufacturing devices.
