Empowering the young generation to design a better future for seniors (and all of us)
Fully 3D printed age suit
The suit allows young people to feel the limitations of the senior body and thus develop the empathy skills and better understanding of seniors essential when creating new products. It is also a great tool enabling the training of employees working in institutions providing services for seniors, and therefore giving the opportunity to improve the quality of customer service.

In BaltSe@nioR, we have empowered students from countries around the Baltic Sea to enter the market with new knowledge, proven creative design methods and the vision how to turn the evolving European demographic structure into a business opportunity. All in all, we have educated 400 students and young professionals from Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Norway and Sweden about seniors as customers. We taught them how to find creative solutions to the design challenges of the modern world. These methods are now part of the educational processes at partner universities in Estonia, Latvia and Poland.
