Thanks to curious students
Students at OsloMet have used empathy suits to simulate physical challenges and limitations that the elderly, disabled, or others may experience in everyday life. This has made us better able to understand and take into account specific needs and challenges in the development of Movu. Your observations and findings have been important for making the product more user-friendly. By testing Movu models in various contexts, the students found interesting findings that have contributed to the product's development.
We look forward to the journey ahead with the good help of skilled partners in the process of creating Movu. Perhaps you would like to join the journey? Feel free to send us an email at hello@movumobility.no. We look forward to hearing from you!
